Thanks!!

Very nicely done up! Your lighting options for your kitchen is interesting.

Thanks! Yeah, it's all LED so very energy-saving. But I can already forsee using the softer light when I come down for a midnight snack and perhaps the track light and cabinet lights for when I am entertaining in the kitchen. Will turn on the island light when we have a movie night and just need ambient lighting? Hehehe

Living Room Lighting Options

Again, our ID gave us a lot of lighting options for the living room light so it suits movie night, TV or just some ambient lighting when we are chilling at the balcony with friends.

Here is the track light. We like to turn it on together with the cove lighting so the whole area is illuminated.

View from the stairs.

Cove lighting, which is made up of many long LED strips extending from the living room to part of the staircase to the dining area. Turning on the cove light alone makes it conducive for watching TV.

This is the console LED strip. Creates a nice bar effect when people are relaxing at the balcony.

And.... this is why all our housewarmings will be held at night. The house seriously looks much nicer at night haha!

I haven't really documented the process of our reno upstairs as we didn't do much. Here's our very utilitarian bedroom. Our mattress is from Serta. Bed is from Ethnicraft.

Master bathroom. Unfortunately the bathrooms in our unit are tiny and have very strange corners. It is hard to photograph but just enough for two of us. Worked around it with nice tiles and warm light. Will definitely have to keep clutter to a minimum. That's the beautiful Stockholm mirror from IKEA.

Matte black rainshower set I got from a Group Buy deal from Daily Use. I've never gone down to their shop but their customer support via whatsapp and facebook is very prompt. Other amenities such as the sink and toiletbowl are from Lookz in Balestier.

Hi,

May I know where did you get your front door sign and your matt showerhead?

Thank you.

Drilled some stuff ourselves over the weekend. We've got an awesome front door number sign!
Installed our artwork from Bali. I highly recommend this store in Seminyak called Hobo. They sell rustic home decor.
Also installed our TV and laid out our carpet. That is a coffee table I bought from Taobao. Perfect quality!
That's where we stand now. I'll take more pictures of the lighting in the house next!

I got mine thru a deal on Qanvast.com. But they are very responsive over FB.

I haven't really documented the yard area much but only because it is hard to photograph and is very basic. The yard is where our gas heater and rubbish chute are located. I am also very glad we added the sink because it's really easy to fill up a bucket for mopping and I can also wring out my mop there. Have yet to test out our washing machine and dryer.
LED T5 bulbs apparently only come in limited colour tones so ours turned out slightly whiter than we had hoped for. We really hate white light but we really shouldn't let them go to waste so we are using them until they blow... which might be a long time considering it is LED hahaha...
Finally took pictures of our store room door/chalkboard wall! This is directly in front of our main door and I think I'll have lots of fun writing welcome messages and meal plans for the week. This was something I really wanted and requested my husband and ID help achieve.

Your staircase handrail using metal? will it rust after years?

Nice set up! I was wondering for the little touch ups that had to be done like small stains or unpainted places on the wall, did your contractor do it for you?
