Thanks !! My place is at Casa Merah, opposite Tanah Merah MRT. You are right, I think i will use a mixture of 2x13 and 2x18. Thinking of 2x18 for the living room so that i can cut down on the number of downlights. But the 2x18 ones quite big. Cove lights are actually T5 tubes which are partially hidden by false ceilings. More of ambience lighting. Edited June 3, 2009 by hkching Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thinking of putting a water feature there. My wife prefers a dark colour chengai decking to bring up the colour contrast. But very ex to do chengai decking leh.. From the plan, i think my balcony bigger than the household shelter leh.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hkching 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2009 For the past 5 weeks, me and my wife have been going round Singapore looking for furintures. Finally decided on take a plunge last weekend on the dining table and sofa at IFC. A bit relief after looking at soooo many furniture. Dining Table with 6 chairs (design of chairs not confirmed) Sofa with 2 cushions (actual length to be decided once we get the keys to our place) Picture taken with hp so blur blur. Pai seh.. Total damage is $3700 after long session of "playacting" and bargaining. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
