Reno Project : Final Stage.

As I’m typing this, we are in the middle on settling into our new home. Yeayyyy!

Each time I thought we’re done with the moving checklist, yet a lot more is coming. Too many things, too little time. Plus, to add more drama into this situation, we have to revise on latest progress payment of our renovation project. As predicted, we are at 10 % exceeding the initial budget *whoppps* and still calculating. After plenty of serious discussion, we decide to hold on certain want-versus-need things. We’ll take one step at a time and hope for the best.

Reno Project : Hunting for Lightings.

I have to admit that I was all excited when it comes to look for lightings. err... beautiful chandelier to be exact. Well, girls will be girls, right. Being typical, I always adore that pretty-with-dangling-crystal kind of chandelier. Been scouring around the net on ‘cheap lightings’ and ‘kedai lampu murah’, most of the results directed to one of famous lightings store in town; The House of Lightings which is located near to our house in Bandar Bukit Puchong. Bingo!

 

Most of the fancy lamps here are super cheap!

& My neck was about to ‘patah lima’ since have to hold my head up all the time :p

 

We bought most of the main lightings here and another store called GC Lightings in Seri Kembangan using some vouchers we had during 2012 Perfect Living Expo. Both stores provided a very good service with affordable and reasonable price. We spent less than 2K which include 30+ pcs energy saving bulbs, T5, down lights, LEDs, two chandeliers and not to forget, ceiling fans for the whole rooms and areas. Plus, GC Lightings been offering one-year warranty on their Megaman energy saving bulbs. What a bargain!

Reno Project : Glass Tiles.

Each time I look at this picture, I fall in love, over and over again! Via Meringuedesigns.net

I have been following the long road, looking high and low for glass tiles of my dream. Yet, cannot find the perfect one. Here in Malaysia, most suppliers doesn't have a wide range of glass tiles to choose from. I want sea glass, blue-grey hue, crystal clear and in rectangular shape, something like these;

Hari-hari tatap pun jatuh chentaaaa! Why on earth Malaysia dont have something like these huh? *pulling hair*

   This is the closest scheme that I managed to get but with mosaic pattern. The original price was RM 16.80 per sqft but the salesperson quoted me RM 15. Bought at Super Ceramic Tiles & Design; a recommended store for variety type of tiles.
