Painting to start today and finish by tomorrow !

Dont they need time for a coat to dry first ?

Now have to wait how the colours turn out on the walls.

Chosen mostly Light and Space colours.

usually paint one coat, from start to finish need about 2 hours. by the time finish, can start new coat on the starting point already since it only takes 1-2 hours to dry

Thanks for that info.

Will post pics tomorrow night after they finish.

Very eager to see how the colours turn out.

Had a tough time choosing from the Dulux catalogue.

lot of work done since last update !

- Painting finished.

- All carpentry works installed.

- Lights installed

Remaining

- Final coat of paint

- Ceiling fans

- Bathroom accessories

- Cleaning up

- Floor varnish

A bit disappointed with the lights in bathroom.

I have all black tiles for the bathroom. There is a ceiling light 2x13W(daylight) and T5(Warm) lights behind the vanity mirror.

Light is enough for overall bathroom but not enough on face of someone using the vanity.

Problem is that the black tiles dont reflect light and T5s behind the mirror are wasted.

Ceiling light also not enough.....the effect of light on face is very harsh. Not the soft warm light I was hoping for.

Now not really sure. Will have to get a bigger ceiling light , maybe bigger T5s or maybe a new light on top of vanity mirror which is directed on face.!!

Any suggestions from other people with dark bathrooms ??

don't have dark bathroom, but i have suggestion

instead of putting your T5 behind the vanity mirror, bring it out to surround the mirror. To ensure diffused glow, you can consider using a white translucent acrylic panel to cover it.

something like this, but replace the bulbs with T5.

Thanks.

Yes this would be perfect for evenly lighting up your face!!!

But too many bulbs !! Also not quite matching the bathoroom theme !!

Will try to post pics tomorrow once they install the vanity surface top. Then can suggest more.

Just saw the photo with bulbs.

Will check the T5 option. Sounds good.

Managed to set up my study as well. Fortunately the study table and Billy bookracks from Ikea fit in nicely. Rug also from Ikea.

The Barcelona chair also fits in well. Thanks Newnyew for that.

After all the hassle of reno...now I can just lay back and relax to some good music.

Hi bergkamp, does the shop in JB deliver to you in SG? If so, do they charge a fair bit?

Understand that the ceiling fan doesn't comes with the mounting braket. How do you mounted it and where did you get the braket.
