Hi dear,

your kitchen is a inspiration. Was reading your blog a min ago! Hmm ... i m assuming ur pendant lights are white and warm lights are from which source?

actually you will see three phillips ceiling lights...that is where my white light source is. the pendant light is warm...along the kitchen counters, behind the glass backsplash...i have hidden T5 lights in warm lighting

Hi ProjectH,

This is all depends on you. In my kitchen, I have two types of lighting. one is bright white light using Philips T8 extra bright tube light. This is an essential need for cooking , baking , storage , cleaning etc...etc.... Warm light does not help for this practical purpose.

Another type of light I have is a hanging pendant light ( warm light), this is more for sitting at the table in the kitchen and enjoying the food and relaxing with a cup of coffee as well as to add aesthetics to the kitchen. You can look at the pics in my tblog.

My advice is to look at how you are going to use the kitchen and design accordingly. If you do a lot of cooking or spent a lot of time in the kitchen , it is best to have bright white light to help see well .

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the advice! Guess I should be practical and go with white lights

Hi ProjectH,

My parents used to use warm lights for the kitchen, however, they switched to white as warm white is too dim. Hopes this helps.

Anyway, a huge shout out of thanks to those for the advice and support! In the midst of renovation and alot of stuff to consider. Doesn't help when hubby everything also 'ok, up to you' ..I shld be a happy lady for a supportive hubby but a little stress coz if the decision sux, boohoo...

Oh well, not all decisions are up to me. He got his 2.2m dining table even though I felt it was too big.

So how you find their workmanship so far? Did you manage to get Ah Meng for the tiling?

I still haven't start my TB shopping, going expect some delay too... am going to leave Alan to the man so that I can focus on TB shopping. haha

Actually we wasn't around during the day so not sure who is our tiler.

Better start TB shopping early. It is a loooooong wait. But I recalled you aren't kanchong to move in then slowly do lah. haha...

why not both? Then you have options...ceiling lights i got were relatively cheap...at about $80 each...and they are philips...zero flicker...turns on immediately. I got it from lighting.com.sg

ha. I am not as eloquent as you all, plus I am too lazy to start one.

We also have no theme...just want to get the whole reno over and done with. It's been a tiring process.

Looking forward to see more pictures of your house done up. From the few pictures of your purchases, can predict your house is going to look nice.
