Hello! Your kitchen looks really lovely! Love the grey laminates and sleekness of kompacplus. 

Totally understand your issue on the lighting point! Initially our dining light point location and kitchen oven was somewhat not in center too due to some miscommunication and it just feel weird to see it that way luckily it was shifted easily. Hope you resolve your issue soon 

 

Considered it solved today.

Still keep going back to your blog to show for inspirations like Taobao and stuffs.

So today I just came back from overseas to have a discussion with J&E and electrician on how to solve the lighting point issue...

When we reached, Electrician is already inside with my lights on the high table...

Some lights were installed... Plumbers were also here early, and my WC and basins are up... but... forgot to take out the bathroom accessories from Taobao, and hence dint discuss the placement... Spend an hour discussing where to put what... as the WC was installed before the accessories, we were nearly unable to install the bidet spray in the masterbathroom... Hence i recommend getting everything out, and place near the location you want so at least plumber know what needs to be installed... They are so nice that they put up my ikea mirror in common bathroom as well.

 

Today's works

Light Installation

Fan Installation

Plumbing

Tile installation

 

So after discussion with J&E and Electrician, finally came up with this.. the conclusion is below (taken from middle of featured wall and high table)..

very very very very difficult to shift the shoe cabinet.. hence shifted the table nearer to the windows, lighting point change to 2, so the middle point is not so obvious (supposed to be 3 with the middle in line with fan point)... Fan point maintain, if not will be too close to the curtain pelmet... Luckily the good thing about this is, the house is more bright, and could even feel the fan at main door... A problem with ikea's pendant light.. too light that it moves when strong wind blows... hence electrician suggested to put shorter pendant at high table... *things that i would not know.. great recommendation*

So here are the pics with lights on, and plumbing.. the place is quite bright, just that my camera adjust the colour and brightness... so the pictures does not really show true colour..

 

Living room

 

Kitchen (still loving it)

 

Bedroom

Masterbathroom and service yard

 

Remember the stupid unleveled tiles?? here is the vinyl tile..

It is not FUGLY, but yes, quite an eye sore if you take note of it.. I may put a rug over here...

 

Noticed I hasn't shared the laminate selection process...

So J&E passed us a book of lamitak with lots of selections... many in very small pieces which you cant see much of the wood grains (if you are selecting)... they asked us to select a few to shortlist, then they can help to call the A4 size or show the 3D... thats all.. no advice etc... So we had a hard time to select.. We made an effort to go to Lamitak warehouse in Sungei kadut, Twice.. spending nearly 2 hours there to see and select laminate... They could call for A4 size for you to keep, or smaller, and show you the whole piece of Laminate in their warehouse... It is very very very very important for wood laminates, you could see the wood grains on the whole piece laminate.... These A4 size are easy to bring around to match with furniture as well...

The number of shortlisted wood grains...

Used the first 3 for my Living Room, Bedrroms and bathroom vanity...

And the number of greys I got..

 

 

Finally its near the end of the reno, only left with touching up here and there, and oso painting.. the rest should be considered 80% done...
