Umaisarah 2 Report post Posted April 23, 2010 RENO PICTURE STORY, CHAP 3 - LIGHTS AND FANS All the lightings and fans were delivered yesterday, including my free PSP 3 Had arranged for lighting.com to instal the dining lights and fans coz its more leceh. I expected an uncle to come, but it was actually two young men, M'sians I think. Did an inventory count and discovered they missed out one item. This was delivered by someone from lighting.com at the end of the day itself. So fairly efficient service, I suppose. The painting works was in progress when DH and I came by yest afternoon. One Myanmar painter who has been here (in Singapore, not in my house!) for 8 years and speaks a smattering of English. Finally get to see what is the actual colour we picked. For Living Room - Misty which looked greyish in the catalog but turned out to beige-ish. This colour will flow throughout the house and connect the rooms together (TM by ID). For Kids Bedroom 1 - Yellow (forgot exact name) and it turned out to be a very bright yellow. Too bright, I thought but my hubby seems to like it. Hopefully, with all the furniture in it, it will help to tone down the yellowness. For Kids Bedroom 2 and Master Bedroom - hvn't painted the accent wall so can't comment yet. Supposed to be purple and bronze-green respectively. Ok, ok, without further ado, here are the pictures..... (One point to note - the colours is more muted in the photos. The actual colour is brighter). Living Room Left: Wall showing the Misty colour Right: Elmark 56" fan in Gunmetal. Very nice You can also the contrast btw the white ceiling and the Misty wall. Maid's Room When the fan was up, we discovered to our horror that it was almost touching the wadrobe door, but upon closer inspection realised that there's abt a 1" gap, whew! This is a 52" fan, so I think we bought too big, but nvr mind, shd keep her cool throughout the night Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Umaisarah 2 Report post Posted April 23, 2010 RENO PICTURE STORY, CHAP 3 - LIGHTS AND FANS (CONT'D) Master Bedroom Also a 52" fan, but in Silver. DH didn't like the colour, I thought it looked like 'transparent' grey. Already bot, hv to live with it lah, but if I can rewind, wld hv bot in gunmetal like in the living room. Btw, all the fans hv acrylic blades which is supposed to be lighter, and thus more windy. The white patch on the ceiling is to remind the painter to repaint that part of the ceiling in white. Kids Bedroom The bright yellow room. 52" fan in White. This one, plus the Maid's room and the other Kids Bedroom has the light kit fitted in. Pretty good illumination, even w just two lights on. Altho' both DH and I think it looks ugly but bo pian, the normal light one gives v weak lighting, good for romantic moments but not for kids and maid bedroom! At last we have lights in the house so can stay back later if we want to Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thought the current set of wooden chairs goes very well with the wooden dining table, gives a country impression. Am curious and interested to see if you can find new chairs to complement your dining table. Good luck in your search! Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
