22 April - painting works for whole house & door frames done!

Our white living room. It was supposed to be a very light grey colour but somehow the lighting made it seem white; like no difference from the previous paint. :thumbs up: But I've no complaints!

The same colour as the living room was selected for bedroom 3 but now since the area is smaller, you can see the greyness.

Mint for the middle bedroom (bedroom 2) She's in love with this one.

Darker brownish grey for the master bedroom for the cozy effect. As you can see, the half recess wall was also done leaving a small box above our bed. T5 light will be installed at the bottom.

Looking for good contractors? Click here for your request

Went to check our place yesterday to see the master toilet tempered glass shower screen and frosted glass toilet door installed. :good:

The frosted glass door is more suitable to be installed in our room instead of the common toilet cos firstly, it's costly and secondly you can still see the shadow of the person in the toilet from outside. Loving it!

Our storage heater 25L JOVEN was also installed. Got it from our contractor's contact since the one at Hoe Kee was out of stock. It was delivered together with our Rinnai hob + hood + oven and kitchen sink.

Finally our purchase from Taobao arrived last Saturday! 65daigou offered 10% off shipping fee in April so we tried buy-for-me since it was our 1st time. We are very satisfied with their service and delivery! Everything was packed nicely and no defects found.

Corner racks for the toilet

Hi nice choice of colours! Can you share the paint code for the light grey and mint paint?

Tks in advance!

Hi, thanks for the compliment! The light grey is romance and the mint is cameo green. Both from dulux.

27 April - Lightings installed! We got the living room + dining + walkway + service yard + kitchen lights from Tampoi Lighting and the rest from Taobao. :lol: Thank god the shipment from China arrived just in time for installation. Below you'll find the comparison between the day and warm white effect in the toilets, living room and common bedrooms.

The dining area and tracklights are in warm white while the ceiling fan light is in daylight. Loving the dining pendant lights!

Now here's a pic with both lights on. Mr R said it's still not bright enough. :huh: but we're so into the cozy ambiance.

Another one from Tampoi Lighting for the warm "alley". I like how the shadows create those nice patterns on the ceiling. :D Can't wait to decorate the blank walls.

The lovely toilets:

Somehow warm white (T5 strips) seems to look nicer than daylight, don't you think? (But not for the bedrooms, you'll see why below) The LED lights in the common bedrooms come with remote control to adjust the light settings. This time round, the true colour of the walls is seen better with daylight. (if you don't already know :P )

Rushed to our place last Saturday to have a look at the reno progress. The carpentry has started and we can now see the laminates we've selected. Actually the missus wanted to change the master bedroom laminates but sadly it was already ordered. So gotta live with it! :bleah: But it turned out well; a darker tone for our room. We decided to have the same type of laminates for both rooms but in different shades. Shoe cabinet and kitchen laminates have to be the same so it's uniformed and not too messy with different textures and looks near to each other. Nothing too fancy, just simple, practical and most importantly, within our budget! ;) Both of us have agreed on not spending more on the laminates.

The common bi-fold door's installed too. The top and bottom part are similar but since the top is near to the light, the colour changes.
