If I got time, will draw out where are my lightings. Then will know where is the dark area. I like ur foyer light veri cosy. thanks. Hopefully it does not look too fanciful.

xinyi_reiko 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2007 The washer and fridge base is done up. Patrick told me that possible hand over time is around 25th of Apr. This means that my reno took almost 3 weeks to complete. My platform so far only the skelaton was done up, tml they will lay the parquet over. It will took 1 week for it to dry up. Carpentry will on start on next wed onwards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will ask patrick for suggestions.I guess I din tot about the dark area when defining the lighting points. The 2 lighting points each has it own use. Now I am panick about it. I now wondering should I do Lbox with cove lights or down lights. Standing lamps does not seems to really solve the problems also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
