A Small Flat For 2 Happy Persons

Maybe just install a motion sensor for lighting in the living room will solve all the problems.

I think the easier way will be to do a 2-way switch for the living room lights.

We have instructed the electrician to do it already. There will be 2 switches which can control my living room light, one next to the main entrance and the other one right inside my mbr. Hee..

The 2-way are really very useful, we have been using them for the past 1yr+ as the previous owner of my place installed 2-way for the kitchen, living room as well as dining room.

another way will be remote control the whole lighting system!

Saw those clap clap your hands it will light up, clap again will light off...

Hi Dyleen,

I read about your living rooms switches placed near the rooms. I am thinking, what if you just return from outside at night, so you need to walk in the dark from the main door to the switches before you can see any light?

I thought that was pretty scary, cause my place now renovating, the whole place will be dark after 7pm and if we placed the switches near the rooms, we will be walking into our place in the dark when we enter the house after work. And esp. after my shopping trips, walking with lotsa shopping bags. Hee..

hi Rasp,

actually I had a foyer light, with the switch just at the entrance of the door. and that switch will on 2 downlight - foyer light and the corridor of the rooms. and I made it a 2way light. so that i can on upon entering the house, and off when i near the bedrooms.

but that id of mine act smart, went and add more switches and make my lighting switch at door entrance. which i don't like it. haiz.....

wow, my t-blog become switches forum liao...lolx

yesterday was the most hectic day in my life, cleaning up the place for straight 7hrs and it was still dusty. the grout lines were still blackey but anyway, there is still outstanding stuffs to be done like:

-touch-ups of paints, varnishing for doors and skirtings

-chging of 1 kitchen tiles

-installing of backsplash and mirrors

-rectification for carpentry (as i clean my wardrobes i found more ugly stuffs) : i realise the drawers wood were not hard enough, seems like can't hold heavy stuffs and makes me wonder if it is chipboard? A must for them to redo laminates. My shelves were painted instead of pasting PVC laminate, my ID said it will be more cost if they use it for inner wardrobe which i don't think i will buy in that reason because it only 3 frames that they have to paste.

-removing of tv consoles and resizing it : my ID forgots about my day&night curtains in the living room and so did not leave any space, thus the tv console need to be resize, which means saw off extra wood and fix back again. Initially the TV console was suspended with 2 metals legs but my mum said it would look better without the 2 legs.

With all these, i think i will have to do clean up again for at least 4 hours. argh~!

Meeting ID this evening to go through rectification and highlight to him that i don't like his carpenter work because the workmanship is poor. Told him to change his carpenter and he told me(in a friendly tone) to wait till rectification works are completed then comment. We shall see by then.

On the happier note: i bought my tvs and philips soundbar!!

i don't have a feature wall so i need the wall-mount soundbar to hide the wires!

haha.. I know what you mean..

anyway, we went to buy the 3M mircofibre mop. Hopefully it helps to pick up the dust and dirt when we mop!

remember to stuff cloth outside your maindoor if your neighbours are still renovating!
