Hey congrats!! Your place looks nicely done up, and I see that you've got nice pendant lights over the dining area! My painting job was a nightmare too. Still waiting for it to be resolved. Not sure WHY it is so difficult to protect the flooring and ensure that the work is done properly. Honestly, I could have done the same kind of ****ty work for free and painted the place myself. *chill* Btw, the kitchen wall is tiled up partially? -

Had some hiccups here and there, and was tearing my hair out over some parts of the renovation... Trying to ensure that things are done properly and going according to schedule. It appears that we are slightly behind time... Haiz. Windows; grilles not done yet... Kitchen flooring taken during earlier days; now completed Living room flooring taken during earlier days Now looking good: -

Still progressing a little bit each day! All plastering done... Cabinets waiting for measurement. Can't see the floor as it is mostly covered by cardboard to protect it. The system 3 air con has just gone up! Pics to come this weekend. @Honeylee your progress is amazing though. looks like you can move in very soon! -
@SimplePersonSimpleLife I was a little surprised to see that they aren't placed above the entrances as it seems to be a common area for the air con unit. My air con installer suggested I do the same, but I personally prefer not walking under the unit everything I enter a room (but it's just my personal preference). Strange, but I feel like I would have to duck under it once I know it's there Likewise, my placements are more of maximising air flow yet making sure the trunking doesn't have to run all over the house! I can't manage to do something as neat as yours though!

They broke the lock? Or got in from unlocked window? At least your designer is going to get you a new TV...

Are you only unboxing your lightings on the day of installation? Found a pendant lamp for the dining area, but have not gotten anything for the living room yet. (I actually did - but changed my mind about it so going to get rid of it ) -

The paranoid me got the dust and insect proof ones 25W, approx 2400 lumens, 2 years warranty, inclusive of delivery and installation. Hole in pocket about $150... It's not installed yet (or even delivered)... I did some research and found that Ariston also has a black model (ST33 or SMC33), but went for Rubine instead. Might not need a pump if your water pressure is good? Got it from AMK Industrial Park. If I recall correctly, it is significantly cheaper compared to H**K**... -

Went to several lighting shops - touched, measured, pondered. Eventually picked up surface-mounted LED lamps for the kitchen instead of track lights... Haha. Decided I want a really bright kitchen after all. Checked out Chan Huat. The aunty lets you browse comfortably, but the younger sales people really follow you everywhere. A bit too close for comfort. So, look for the aunty (343 Balestier) if you also cannot stand people following your every move -

I see. Will there be a sliding door on the right? Have you gotten your lightings yet? -
Wow, really really impressed with that! To get everything right, it's almost down to micro-managing. Absolutely exhausting. But give yourself a big pat! I agree that the air con installation is usually not very well planned. It's common to see unsightly trunking all over the place..... Hopefully in the future we can have wireless air con

Love the colours! That sofa is gorgeous!

Are you having any partition between the kitchen and the living area (can see that there is a short wall on the left)? Hope it goes well! -
Actually your gate design quite retro! Shall wait for more pictures then! Recently I'm just fascinated by main doors and gates and will actually stop and stare. Getting mine replaced but have not decided on the design of the gate (must it really match the window grilles?!)

Did you end up changing your door/gate?
