Shared our 3D renderings on post #3. We are very lucky to might be able to snag off a couple of coffee tables from our relative! If we do, we would have a total of 4 coffee tables on hand... :jawdrop: would probably have to let go off our franc franc coffee table then. Love it so much, having a dilemma. :dunno:

Day 25 (30/10/14)

Our tiles should be arriving next week! Had an in-depth discussion on Thursday to finalise on all carpentry details till close to 12midnight! When we left their office, they were still serving another couple! Talk about dedication!

We were so surprised when Mr J informed us that our kitchen carpentry work is ongoing already. Workmanship is awesome! :sport-smiley-004:

Went on to decide on our platform vinyl, the more promising designs we were leaning on more:

Day 26 (1/11/14)
Popped by our place to get some pictures taken but the sun has already gone down so pictures turned out to be grainy. But I guess it's better than nothing!
The kitchen and toilets were done with screeding and prepped for tiling works to take place next. We planned to have exposed screed walls and we have to saw that we are pretty pleased with how it looks like, especially the kitchen! Loving the swirls/ cloudy effect!

Protection work was also done and everything was taped securely on the floor. Lines were so straight and every nook and cranny was covered. :D:D

Day 31 (5/11/14)

We had a discussion with MrE and the electrician yesterday and confirmed the placement of our lights. Electrician is really on the ball and understood what we wanted. This discussion was pretty quick and smooth! Today, the lights (those that we have) are up!
Honestly, we have never been out and about searching for downlights/ track lights because we ordered them online and did our research online then deciding it based on our gut feeling.
However, our gut feeling is not always right. Initially we wanted our living room to look cosy and dim and we got the 3W downlights. The electrician then advised us that it might be too dim, especially because our floor is dark coloured so we should go for 7W. Some of our downlights are still not here, thus he installed whatever that we have for the meantime so that we can get a better idea of the brightness of the lightings in the house.
So, for the clueless people out there just like us, these are some pictures to refer to. :)

There are supposed to be 7pcs of 7W downlights but we only had 1. Seems bright enough, it's the downlight shining against the wall on the left hand side of the picture.

Master Bedroom. Four 3W downlights nearer to the window. One 7W downlight on the left side of the room. Dim but very cosy.
We are happy with what we have went with so far. We did not want the house to look too bright but we are also concerned that it might look too dim. Crossing our fingers and hope it'll look as good as we have in mind when the rest of the lights are up! :D
