Heya, here's the link! https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=35161479731. The item is available on Ezbuy's Prime too! Fans already installed but yet to connect to the wall switch so crossing fingers that both will work!

very very nice!!! keep the pictures coming! i like how you chose wooden-looking tiles for your bathroom..makes me wish i should have gone for that. 

i also saw themerrymaker's home and i loved her entire home! i like checking out #dayrehomes whenever i'm free too haha.

Hehehe thank you!! your toilets look wonderful already. your floor tiles are the textured kind right? looks nice too!

Yessss her home was what inspired me to switch to a warmer-looking colour palette for the flooring! So cozy and love how her place is made to accommodate messiness. Haha. #dayrehomes is my guilty pleasure now. Can't stop stalking gathering inspiration

Hi, 

can you pm me contractor E's contact? Nice reno works in progress!

LET THERE BE LIGHT!  

The electricians came over today for lights and fan installations! Here's what our living room's area looks like now. Shoutout to @ricepapergirl, the Fanco fan you recommended is fabulous! Super windy. We love it!

The track lights in front of the window will be illuminating our dining area. Decided not to have hanging/pendant lights for our dining area as we wanted the space to be flexible if we decided to rearrange furniture. The ceiling looks slightly busy w/ the three rows of track lights and fan, but this configuration best suits our need for flexibility 

Kitchen with TB wall fan and ceiling light. Love how the fan matches with the silver accents in the kitchen. We were soooo close to getting a Vento Fino for the kitchen (after our mum raised concerns that this fan we bought might not work, because #taobao). But the Vento Fino was OOS the day we wanted to go into JB to purchase it. Glad that this fan fits in well too! Whether or not it functions well... it's for us to find out another day. Haha.

Walkway with warm track lights.

Study room ceiling fan

Spare/dressing room's ceiling fan - same as the study room's but in white. both from tb!

MBR Entryway

MBR Pendant Lights from IKEA. The length/positioning looks slightly awkward as we didn't expect the lanterns to hang so low (they are huge!) when dangling from the ceiling. Might have to play with the wires abit more.

Master bathroom lamp with clear LED bulb

Common toilet's 3-tone light. This is in warm white setting.

Service yard's windows were up the last time we visited as well, just that we didn't manage to get a photo then! Overlooking the inner facade of the building thus there isn't much natural light or sun.

That's all for today! Now back to Taobao for the super 11/11 sale. Heehee~

Thanks @pankponk for the vote of confidence!  Can't wait for the debris to be cleared out so that furnishings can start coming in!

Yup, I think might be because we requested for led lights strips on the underside of our cabinets. So the carpentry has to be in before the electricians can install these lightings. For us, sanitary will be the final portion before they do up our PD door then handover already~

Hahah I'm sure your contractor/ID's sequence of works is based on their own well-versed experience. Don't worry too much! All will be well in the end

Hi kingandbin,

Finally get to see the carpentry after a long wait. Especially the ikea countertop with white cabinet and the gold knob. Very nice color contrast.

Very nice clean look overall for the whole house... Looking forward to more updates

[Polkadots08 1]

Kingandbin, can i check the small black fan that you have bought from TB is how many inches? 

I went to the link that you provide and think maybe you getting the 32inches one?

 

Have you tested? Is it steady and windy?

 

TIA ^^

  Hehe yes, finally~ Thank you! Quite happy with what we see so far. Didn't check properly but so far it seems there aren't any major issues/defects.

Keeping the space bright and white so it serves as a plain canvas for whatever furniture we decide to put in.

Hello there! We got the 42" fan. It is quite petite for our room! Have tested it, light is good and bright. Wind not super duper strong but maybe cause the size is rather small, plus we are comparing the wind effect with our living fan which is crazy windy. Most likely we'll have it on highest speed setting when using but the good thing is that it's quite silent (in my opinion) and the fan is not wobbly at all.

Still a worthwhile buy considering that fans with light kits in sg don't come cheap. The 11/11 promo price still on now is $10++ cheaper than when I got it. Maybe you can compare the prices with those from Msia and decide where would be a better place/country to purchase your fan from  But of course, the TB ones don't have warranty lah

Thank you Kingandbin!!

The Fanco you bought it at JB?

I only need one ceiling fan in my living room. So not sure which to buy also..
