LOVE your Terrazzo tiles, so pretty! :wub: How much are they psf? My kitchen colour combi is somehow similar to yours - white and wood. Do you reckon the green terrazzo tiles can fit in nicely in the kitchen?

Btw, may I know where did you get the track light with E27 holder from?

Hi! The terrazzo was actually from the original Hdb flat! We just had it polished and it looks brand new. Love how it's cool beneath your feet on cold days and the retro look. I think an huat sells terrazzo though, I saw some when I was there.

Don't think you should match wood kitchen cabinets with terrazzo floors though. I was quite Intentional about keeping the texture of the kitchen floors 'flat' cos I was a bit concerned about clashing patterns - cos the terrazzo is already quite patterned and could clash if your wood grain is too distracting.

We got the track light holders from lights n lights at balestier. I'm trying to sell 2 holders cos they're brighter than I anticipated, let me know if you are interested!

You have a walk in wardrobe with a door beside the bedroom door? Wow, cool! Can take more pictures to show the walk in wardrobe?

You mentioned earlier that the master bedroom toilet was tiny, how did you extend it? The wall tiles are the small squarish types, it is the original wall tile from HDB? How do u make it so shiny white? Overall it was bright n nice!Congrats!

Hi all, we bought these E27 holder track lights for our kitchen - and realised we may have bought too many holders cos it's actually quite bright! going to let go of 2 holders - they are enough for a 1m track and would probably be sufficient to light a room. comes with energy saving 'tornado' e27 bulbs in cool white.

we searched high & low for these E27 holder track lights - they are not the usual halogen spotlights or LED spotlights which are glaring and directed task lights - but provide ambient light because of the E27 bulbs, and you can just change the E27 bulbs cheaply.

they are WHITE - and exactly like the pic below but in a smaller size. Width is about 7-10 cm. In the pic below the holder is the bigger version and it has a PAR38 bulb but mine comes with energy saving e27 bulbs

please PM me if interested thanks!

do you still have the E27 tracklight holder available? Pls let me know ASAP. Thanks.

hi! will try to take more pics when i can - a bit hectic now (: yup i partitioned off part of the living room for the walk in wardrobe. it's a partition wall - can't drill stuff into it, not hollow block. can see the layout from the floorplan in one of my initial posts!

wow yes mbr toilet was tiny - can only put 2 of 3 things (shower, toilet bowl, sink)!!! the wall with the window is where the initial toilet wall was. we hacked the wall and built an 'L' shape wall with a new door frame. muuuuch better now. :sport-smiley-004:

hmm no we re-did the toilets entirely - original tiles were too old and grimy. the mbr toilet tiles are large rectangular tiles - 30 x 60 (i think) and the common toilet we used subway tiles. we chose glossy tiles - they reflect light and make the toilet bigger! mbr toilet is semi-matt though. thanks! white toilets were something i really insisted on (even though contractor kept saying it's hard to maintain) cos the space is small and we wanted it to look larger :D

You are so lucky to have found a place with terrazzo, can save quite a bit on tiling! Will check out Ah Huat.

Regarding the track light, don't think I'm buying any time soon cos I haven't confirm my lighting plan. Thanks for asking :)
