+1 on ikea kitchen. Do note the butcher style blocks are wood. I don't think the acrylic ones have wood design. There are 2 types. 1 is solid wood the other has solid veneers. Anyway their tops are cheap. So don't need to care much about longevity. You can change them once every 1-2 years for 10yrs to be the same cost as granite/quartz. Ikea cabinets needs to be installed on flat walls. If there are pipes you'll have a problem. i wanted ikea look so much that I did cabinets customed to ikea door fronts.

Carpentry update 1. My mini WIW in the works. Yes, unlike popular color PVC im using white. It is budget and will match my laminate which is also white. There is a gap at the right side due to the aircon trunking. Lesson learnt. It has been smooth sailing so far since the initial screw up by HDB where i have no power/water during start reno. With this happening I can confirm Screw ups are inevitable! and it is advisable to do your Aircon piping/trunking first before any other measurements are taken. Initially the carpenter wanted to just fill that gap up with laminate. Luckily the carpenter was accommodative to my request to make use of the space to add a vertical pull out drawer for hanging belts, ties and scarfs. The view of the left side. There are spaces on the left of the drawers meant for the bulky hinges. I'm doing casement doors. The kids room cabinet cum bookshelf. I designed this one... It will be outfitted to ikea door fronts later. -

As i posted earlier, i have tons of lights. This is a belated update on the earlier installed lighting available as i was waiting for some other lights to arrive. L-Cove and 4 Philips 3 color dimmable downlights. Color temperature of the cove is 4K while the philips is set at 6K 2x T5s in the common bath - 4K color temp for general lighting. there will be a pendant light in here but not yet installed as it came late. 2x T5s 4K for general mood light. and 3x 2.7K color temperature Spot lights in the Main bath, the spot lights 2 are 400lumen, 1 aimed at toilet bowl for some newspaper/facebooking at the toilet bowl, 1 points at shower. the Middle one is 200lumen just shines down on entrance. There is still a vanity light which as not been installed yet as can be seen by the dangling wire. TheXmas feature column wall looks real good now with warm lighting. Track lights with 4x 7W 2.7K color temp spot lights. Seems to be quite big for this space... (sh!t i ordered double somemore now i will have 8 pieces to let go) After the cabinets are up will need to consider if i should change. I ordered the smaller 3W version too. -

Unfortunately all my concealed wiring is done and I did not cater for additional light source at the bed head. Think I will sell it after the Reno completes, together with all the excess stuff -
Do ceiling mount with U brackets. Look at my tblog for picture. I'm also having AO smith

Regarding staircase lights, depending on how the stairs is constructed you may like check out led strip lights lined under each flight of stairs. Something like cove light. Google "cove lights under stairs" under images and you'll see what I'm referring to. If that is overwhelming than you could also consider just running the strip under the whole stretch of handrail

+1 to the rug at the WC. Where is it from? I stayed in a homestay in Aussie before and they too had a similar rug. It's probably common there.
