pinkwhale 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2012 Hi, Read your t-blog and really like how you did the kitchen counters. Congrats on your new place and your moving in soon (now end april)Could you pm me your contractor's contact details and the rough figure for the kitchen if possible? Can advise where & price of the bird nest stool on the balcony? Thanks.Hi SunsetskyI had pm-ed you my contractor's contact. Thanks... The bird nest stool I got it from oddjects at orchard central, think the usual price is around $69, I got it at 30% off... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pinkwhale 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) Nice house! Can i check with you on how did you use hang the bulb from Ikea for MBR toilet to give the"spider" effect? We wanted to do the same but can't think on how to do it. =)Hi WoonThanks... This is how we did it. I think there are other better and nicer options, but I chose to do it the more industrial way.If you want to do it the same way as mine, you just show this pic to ur electrican they will know it.

Strawbeari 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2012 Hi^^ Thanks for dropping by again.. For my case won't have this problem cos my haiku fan had a drop down of 25cm so it is below the cove light. And I think the haiku fan is almost same height as my downlight so both cove light and downlight no problem for me.. Maybe my contractor calculated for me?? Or I'm pure lucky.. I was super worried also beforehand but my contractor keep telling me no problem no problem Maybe u check the fan u buying if the stem height can be adjusted? If can then u can try to do it the same height as ur L-box then I think no issue cos cove light shine up and down light shine down... And of cos most important u must have enough clearance of at least IMO 50cm between fan and light. What do u think?Hello Pinkwhale Thank you for your respond!Think I may bring my floorplan to KDK and ask them for advice. Adore the way your installed the lights in your bathroom. ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are such concrete structures cheaper than normal wood and laminates? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But my self condolence theory is that after 1 or 2 yrs I can easily re-apply the white cement for those area that I cannot stand and they can start all over again and this can be easily DIY at a super low cost just need to spend some time. But still I will not recommend if u want very very easy maintenance. Otherwise u can choose black grouting instead of white. Now I got little bit regret for not doing white tiles and black lines haha... To make my kitchen looks much brighter..As for the price I think it's not much cheaper but also depending on which material you use... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
