Haha, i know both u & ur wife very tall. I super dwarf beside u @ 1.55m leh.

Luckily we decided to install L-box cos my ID say my ceiling oso high, with false ceiling, it kind of bring the ceiling lower and she will not charge xtra for our built-in cabinet. 1 thing noted for IH's quotation for wardrobe is the 2nd highest i have gathered but they won over some other matters .

Hi F4, ur thread already 70+ pages, hard to follow. Yes, simple designs long lasting. Seen many beautiful homes here with this design and get inspired. Initially L-box & false ceilings not in our mind. However, again get inspired by the beautiful homes here decided to splurgh once & for all all as we intend to live long here. Actually we wanted to get ceiling lights with dimmer, however, afraid the condude casing will make the whole flat look messy so decided to install down & cove lights.

Your house is a "WOW". Should you decide to sell one day, the new owners are very lucky!!!

Yes, maintenance for downlights & fluroscent tubes is lowest except the cove area. However, a high px tag for the L-box & false ceilings. The downside no fanciful nice lights to display .

So u not going to have a shower screen? Both my bathrooms oso have low wall with glass on top. Not installed the glass yet but anxious to see the outcome.

Notice u did a low wall cum concrete top in the mbr. Concrete will be very sturdy and long lasting . U going to do a glass above the low wall to separate shower & basin areas? Look like the progress for your house is .

Gone were those poor old days. Now u have a nice place to live in. Enjoy! Wow, salute to you, 5-7 cups of copi-o per day. I love copi (but not O) but limit myself to 2 to 3 cups per day. Also addicted to the aroma the coffee brings . Think u r the 1st person we encounter to do a sink juz for copi cups, tat's why the contractors go .

So interesting the copi-o machine beside ur console. Can have a nice cuppa while watching tv.

Ya, whole house downlights & cove lights. Conventional lights only @ foyer & entrance. Yes, cost of lightings considered high for down & cove lights. Think will be between $1.5k to $2k. Cant tell exact amt yet cos' still adding some cove lightings.

Simple & nice ya, think many forumers selected the same. My main gate will be the same pattern too.

Dining lights & ceiling fan: Hb commented not bright enuff. ID will help us think of a solution - to add lighting points or Cozy area: There will be some amendments needed to be done. We realised that some of the switch points were too low. For safety reason (i have a curious 3 year old boy at home), ID will ask the electrician to make adjustments. Due to a mis-comm by me, bedroom 2 was painted with the wrong colour. So far, the reno is progressing well and within schedule .

Oh, forgot to check wif her. Hopefully ok now. Grilles @ Master bedroom: Bedroom 2 lights & grilles: Paint used is White Ice. Bedroom 3: Due to a mis-comm by myself, paint should be light blue (cant remember what's the name) but was painted white. ID will ask painter to re-paint.

Hi u r fast. So far so good, we are quite satisfied with the progress. Lynn assured us of the HO date and we told her if HO delay, we have packed our loots and will bunk into her rented unit .

Window grilles @ wet kitchen: Downlights in common bathroom: Downlights in master bathroom: There are 3 downlights in the mb. Downlights in mbr Paint colour is rose white from Nippon Paint. Cove lights not installed yet as we have mis-calculated the number of light tubes needed.

Long time never update. Work done (but not complete) so far: Painting, window grilles for living, bedrooms & kitchen and lightings & ceiling fans installed. Foyer light: Entrance light & DB Box: Will ask ID to adjust the DB box lower. Grilles, lights & ceiling fan @ living room: Downlights @ dry kitchen: Downlights @ wet kitchen:

You too modest, though your title say cheapo, but its really nicely done leh esp the glass door. I also like the wall decal very much!

Thanks!

That's the one i refering to. Look sturdy.

Hi sohck from ur pics, cant tell ur kitchen laminate looks kind of old cos it does look white to our naked eyes . Ur toilet basin does seem a little out, can the plumber re-do if not will become a big eye sore for u leh.

Very nice feature wall indeed. Is it exp to use tiles for this?

Colour well-matched. Think u r few tat use quartz stone as table top.

Hi sohck ur toilets look different with the painted pipes and of cos, nicer .

Ya, can ask her to work around the theme/colours u desired. Good luck, hope to see ur 3D drawings soon.

Hi Takomi will share when the reno is over. However, 1 thing i muz say is hb & myself quite satisfied wif their workmanship so far and not much chasing her needed unlike some IDs/contractors need a button to be pushed. Next week will be more exciting, lightings, bathroom accessories and carpentry will be up. The rest shall keep till end of reno cos still some more days b4 HO. Anyway, have u seen her 3D drawings?
