LOL, Sis, you know I also ordered 2 cubes, but cancelled as wife say dunno where to place them.... so I cancelled my order first....

We have 3 lighting points for our balcony, but they are all wall points... because it's not worth to have a ceiling point IMHO, as we need to build scaffolding for the high ceiling.. .. there were outdoor tiles at our balcony (inherited from ex-owners) and wife and me had wanted to keep them, our balcony is open concept... no awning or grills or whatsoever.... I intend to fully utilise the full 2 level height and have some tall plants in our balcony and make it an outdoor chill out place - just like what you had in mind

but during my chats with Bro Ne0mesis (of RT) via PM, he pointed out that the outdoor (slate) tiles at the Balcony will not match well with our kitchen and tv area.... something which I didn't realised (thanks alot Bro Ne0mesis!).... so wife n me decided to re-do our balcony... and we've decided to lay over a layer of cement screed and lay small stones and pebbles over our balcony to create an outdoor feel... hope the finish effect is nice

3 wall lights huh? Thanks I'll use as point of reference for my balcony. No intent to do ceiling lights cos can't change light bulb, but for fan, we are thinking to get a ceiling fan with extension rod. I would like a black fan...

I thought the cubes will look like interesting feature in the balcony. And SO very supportive. He also agreed can use as stool or small table to put drinks cos they are meant for outdoors.

What plants you planning to get? Went with my SO to Far East Flora (to look look, see see) over the weekend and was completely bewildered by the array of plants.

Looking forward to see your chill out place k?

Anyway, back to our balcony .... Bought these outdoor lights for balcony .... as we're having an open balcony, we need outdoor lights that can withstand rain and shine....

looks abit like streetlamps and shower head but we find this outdoor lights cute

Brief reno updates.... went up to our unit earlier armed with my all bowerful MIC LED torch light

Had not went up for 2 days due to heavy workload and even heavier eyelids.... happy to see progress :

Grills are up... we did not replace our alu windows.... (a cost cutting measure )

[Kobelala 8]

foyer wall half completed....

special thanks to Sis Mae29 here for her valuable FS advise.. ... I still owned her "Mao Shan" durian

We did not tear down the cornices and build false ceiling.... (another cost cutting measure )

[Kobelala 8]

extended foyer side wall, with the initials C & J.... initials of myself "C" an wife "J".... a design which we had created for days.... wife wanted a bigger "C" than "J"... but we've concurred that this is the best and easiest to build besign... completed wall will be a through hole and can be used as display shelves

Sorry for poor picture quality - taken with 1 hand on BB and the other holding MIC LED torchlight "POLICE" brand
