Our 4 Room Love Nest..modern Scandinavian Theme

[Feliciachua 3]

Finally managed to edit my images above to bigger size instead of the tiny pictures..finally have time to upload the pics in my wordpress and copy the URL links and Ta-dah!! finally have bigger images...pardon my "newbie-ness".. ..

my Evorich Vinyl floor completed in a day:

seeing them cut and fix..very skillful... ..we selected Markham Oak Medium as we prefer darker color...

Final Product:

We realized there are shiny spots on the vinyl when there is a direct light shining on it..is it normal? or it is because it is very new?

Timber Skirting:

Contrast with Evorich floor and Homo-wood like floor:

The contrast with two different kinds of tiles..hubby commented it will be better to do whole house vinyl i find it boring with same kind of tiles for our whole house, so decided to play around to have a different feel...hope i wont regret in long run..

Carpentry more or less confirmed, next will be the fixing of wooden doors, bi-fold doors and shower screen before starting on carpentry..carpentry is the most headache part in the whole reno process..

hope can see new things tmr...

Some updates:

Pop by our love nest and surprised that electrician have fixed up our lights..FAST!! we thought the fixing of lights will be delayed..FINALLY we have lights! some pics to share..(pardon the poor visibility of some pics)

Cove lights: Love the cove lights (warm light) effect and fan..

Service yard lights: (lighting point was at the top, its a little dim perhaps due to the wall color we chosen, it gives us a dim feeling)

Bed room 1 (study room): Fanco fan with light..its a little dim which we regretted. Will need to buy a higher watts..currently it is 3 bulbs with 7W..Alternatively will try to remove the cover of the lights so that it is brighter..

*If anyone thinking of buying fan with lights, got to consider the brightness..

My toilet lights are the brightest..LOL..two colors (white and warm when open 2 togther)

cove lights at master bedroom: (2 sides)

This week will be able to see my evorich tiles / skirting....showerscreen and doors.

Hihi,

I guess perhaps we got the same Fanco fan with light from Tampoi as you, we are now using both the 42" & 52" in bedrooms and living room. Indeed the lights are not bright enough even when currently using 2 Philips LED 12W. Good thing is our LED downlights are very bright, so it does help to brighten the place a bit..

011..hehe..still discussing with hubby..our problem is: there is no a better space to put a wall hung mirror at our living room.. ..so most likely have to combine mirror with the brick walls..sacrifice the fully craft brick walls.

Hihi! haha..cool!! same Fanco fans.. ..we are using 9W currently.. .it stated the maximum is 20W..we noticed that the main problem is due to the cover (opaque), we tried taking out the cover and it is soso much brighter..

Our living room has LED downlights but not in our bedrooms so we will try to buy a higher Watt and try it out again..update again!

Some updates:

Ta-dah!! our track lights are up!! we love our track lights effects.. .. we bought the track lights from taobao..everything came in good condition including the tracks..satisfied!!

7W warm lights: (current house condition is still in a mess, haha)

my chandelier lights are up too..our electrician help us to setup the stand of our chandelier lights to the wall, and we hung the crystals ourselves..we bought this chandelier lights from TB..everything came in good condition too except that we broke 1 crystal ourselves..

We bought this highly raved Philips steam iron from the Philips fair last weekend..

Function:

There was a live demo during the fair, and the attractive point is that we can iron any garment from silk, to linen, to cotton, to cashmere, in any order (100% safe on all fabrics), without adjusting the temperature, without the risk of burn or shine or wait. It is said to reduce the ironing time and we were

Hope to see my new doors this week..

No updates of the house?

Yes, there is!..haha..was busy with the house this few days, didnt have time to blog..will blog the updates soon!

Updates on door and carpentry

My kitchen bi-fold door from besglas..we love the sail white with clear glass to match our white brick feature wall..we did top track only..so there isn't those ugly bottom tracks. It is slightly more expensive to do top track, but we had no choice. We wanted a swing door for our kitchen previously, but the concern was that it will hit our fridge door if we do a swing door so we opted this bi-fold door from besglas. we love the effect!

Doors for 3 rooms:

The original color - nyatoh doors for 3 rooms..Painter will paint it grey over it, and we opted black for the door frame..will update the final look of the door.. ..oh yes, we bought our own door knobs and our ID helped us to install.

Toilet suspended vanity cabinet

We wanted a bold bright color for our toilet vanity cabinet as we wanted to make the toilets a "different" feeling..orange laminate for common toilet and pink laminate for master toilet...Luckily, hubby didn't object to my pink laminate.. ..hope the mirror and sink will make it
