Japanese Minimal/ Scandinavian Living On A Budget

[blueeeeie 0]

Yup that's the dining area. I marked out the place for them to mount the lights. But it's a bit too bright. They are Philips 20W E27 tornadoes. Going to try use 11W instead.

Haha.. I had a few lights installed in my house with 20W bulbs.. blindingly bright!!

Had to downgrade to 11W lights too..

Went to ikea to buy some small 4W round E27. Found 11w still too bright for dining area.

Anyone has recommendations for blinds? Is it possible to get my house fitted with blinds for $600 to 800 budget? Wanted to get from ikea, but the Tupplr 2m were all out of stock. We are not into curtains because we are lazy to wash them regularly.

Anyone knows where I can get the hanging light at the bottom of the picture? The grills guy broke mine. and I don't have time to make another shipment from taobao.

Hi wowach,

Just sharing. I had ask a quote before and he had quoted for my 3 room windows $790 included installation. Find it expensive, so I bought the blinds from Qoo10, which cost $231 (including shipping) but without installations la. So I got my ID's help to install for me.

I think I saw the 'bottle' lamps at Chan huat if I remember correctly...

Yup. My contractor has graciously agreed to pay for my new lights. Not that urgent, but everything was supposed to be ready tomorrow. Kind of disappointed.

Thanks for the suggestion! My contractor did offer to help me install the blinds, but I just can't get the blinds in time from ikea. Decided to spend more to get my custom blinds because I have 2 rather odd sized windows.

Thanks for the note! But have already ordered again on taobao. Another 3 weeks wait...

Has your handover date been postponed?

[wowach 0]

Handover was supposed to be tomorrow. But I doubt. They got my gate wrong and need to send it back for spray painting.

The only real last item to be done is my glass door for the toilet.

Hope all goes well for you. To spray paint the gate shouldn't take too long I guess. When is your toilet glass door coming in? And when are you shifting in? Share more pictures

Will be shifting in only in June, after my wedding. but supposed to hand over by this week.

Hello!

Am looking for dining lights like that one you had! Mind sharing with me the taobao link where you purchased the lights from? And also your reviews on the seller and which freight forwarder you engaged?

Thanks!
