I think most items that are white will turn off white with time. Like painted white walls for instance. Sunlight is probably the culprit, including indirect sunlight.

ProjectH 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2013 Hi Edwin,His hp is in my signature. Why don't you give him a call, have a meet up and get a quotation? My quotation will not be relevant because I didn't do anything for study room. Alot of furniture I bought off the shelf.

ProjectH 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2013 Nothing much done on the flat due to my fault for ordering my lights via TB juz two weeks ago. Luckily they will arrived this week so fingers crossed more action next week. Bought cleaning materials to the flat so that we can clean the living room after the chemical wash so that Evorich can install our HERF. Thanks to Greg who remind everyone who will be using HERF to clean the floor before overlaying the HERF.Have not decide whether to engage a professional cleaning crew to do post-reno clean-up. Need to see what is the remaining funds after the reno. Boo~cleaning stuff by Vi&Seb, on Flickr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boo~cleaning stuff by Vi&Seb, on Flickr Your friend and I considered hiring a professional clean up crew to clean up the house post reno, especially since we need to bring our brothers & sisters down to the new house for some Chinese customs on the day of the wedding.however, one look at our bank accounts and we've decided to take leave and clean the house ourselves.
