Lights up!

Lights came as ordered from Strass Lightings located at Balestier Rd. It's one of the largest shop along the road and the sales guy gave us a good price which we're happy with. Total damage = $720. The lights came in many boxes as above.

Storeroom/ Toilets Light...cute eh?

We got 3 of these for our 3 bedrooms.

6 x PLC lights for the living area

Forks &..Spoons for our kitchen lights


Warm cove lights

Bright PLC Day light

As seen, we have 2 different effects for the living/ dining area. Cove lights for a cosy feeling while watching TV and PLC lights to brighten up the place for reading, gathering etc. Our PLC lights come with a 2-way switch meaning we do not have to go all the way to the main switch to turn off the lights. There's another switch just outside our master bedroom which allow easy switching on/off at night. It's a feature which comes with new HDB flats.

Rain Shower Part II

The actual setup is up and running. Of cos I've tested it!! More than once in fact.. =) Very happy with it.

Hand-held shower to go thru instant heater for FP who prefers a warm bath and a cool rain shower for me after a hot day in S'pore.

The controls...

Perspective Drawings

Let's start off with the original floorplan below and then the on-going floorplan Ah Low is trying to acheive...hopefully. First, must see the floor area 110sq m which used to be the floor area of older HDB 4 room flats. Nowadays, you'll not be able to find that in newer flats unless you have some PES. Let's look at the initial problems:-

Headache #1: Odd shape +small kitchen

Headache #2: Not much room for master bedroom cabinet

Headache #3: Where to place sofa, TV, dining area etc etc.

After going around to a few Interior Designers to look for ideas, we got very standard designs from almost all of them as most just wanted to show us some chio chio drawings to seal the deal. Good thing we waited for the "award-winning-wannabe" W.Y from Spacious at IMM who came back to us pretty late due to his busy schedule. He gave us the idea of extending the master bedrm wall into the living room to allow us to fully utilize the space in the big living rm and also solved headache #2. See dwg below. Now, we're going to have a long cabinet which will look GRAND (a term he used ever so freely).

By extending the wall, it also gave us a designated dining area as well as where to place our TV. The low fixed bench was our own idea as it's a seating area cum some storage for the living.

A 3D view of the living to be as above..Thank you Lewis, Ah Low's designer, for all the drawings and multiple changes he's made without any complaints.

Back to headache #1, odd-shape kitchen. FP and I wanted a counter top and we had to squeeze the fridge and our 8kg washing machine in! Not to mention the sink, hood and hob too! The solution is as above.

Colours schemes have been choosen but I've yet to get the final coloured+ samples from Ah Low. I'm stressing him to put up the capentary soon and so far according to him, our master bedroom cabinet is done .
