cove lights with downlights @ living room..

ha notice no grills..changing my grills...but hor, no grills really look so much nicer!! but we staying on 2nd floor..better to have grills right?

mother in law says why ceiling fan??? to her, it will work fine now...after a while it will not...heeee no choice i dun really like standing fans...think should not be any problem with ceiling fans. sometimes feel drained especially comments from family..comments like "your flat so big, how to clean!", "why 2 pple need such a big space?", "initially, excited to clean, later on will find it a chore...", "the marble not nice coz it's pinkish!", "wa staircase also marble, very dangerous leh!", "oh you have to wash so many curtains!", "why toilet light is rectangular coz according to fengshui, it's no good?" haiz...i dunno what other comments to come when house is ready.

Yes, I agree no grills much nicer but for security reasons better to install lar since Singapore got 'spiderman' burglars.

I'm a ceiling fan 'fan' too. They function better to cool down the whole room and don't take up valuable floor space unlike stand fans. Actually I think ceiling fans work the best that's why most restaurants install ceiling fans. Just have to clean off the dust periodically cos dust will weigh down the fan.

As for all the comments, err... just ignore? I get the 'why do you need such a big place for 2 persons' too but just say we enjoy the space lor. No one so far can argue against that. For parents, they shouldn't complain cos we are catering for future expansion mah... As for cleaning... that's why we engage a part-time maid??? Heee, seems like all similar comments...

Your reno looks like it's coming along nicely.

Hehe.. think most mansionette owners will attest to this. Why so big? Stairs dangerous! Pregnant fall down how? Old ppl fall down how? See how u clean! etc etc.

Ultimately... what matters is that the 2 of u LIKE it. =D

Haha, ya, my designers dun like my fans, except the balcony one, which my lady ID sorta insisted on.

As apartments get smaller n smaller in SG, where else to find such a luxury of space? I was telling my SO, cannot imagine where to move to next time... cannot get used to smaller space right?

There is actually quite a few of us "EM-lovers" around, you, me, Soichiro, Kobelala, ymjp100, etc.

That's right. Not intending to move out anytime soon. The EM has so much to love and the space affords room for creativity. Wonderful....
