Beloved kitchen and lightings

Our ideal kitchen is WHITE.

As white as this...

Minus the umbrellas =P ....and since we are not doing the wall tiles for the kitchen, we will be using a black colour glass backing on the walls in between the top and bottom cabinet. Hmmm...just wonder what the end will look like, since it is not a full length right to the entrance of the kitchen. Guess I gotta wait patiently for my 3D drawing, which will be out hopefully soon. Has been waiting since end Dec!

Picked a square sink with no linings, some taps and basins for the common and master bathrooms from Poh Seng. It is located at Jalan Besar. Prices are quite cheap, one kitchen sink at about $250, toilet bowl at $120, master vanity sink at $200 and common sink at $80. Royal Franco is located quite near it, they have a package for Baron toilet bowl & sink going at $288. What a headache. So many choices!


Rain shower. Seems like rain shower has lots of features too. Brownie was saying it comes in different MM and the significance of the MM plays a part in the pressure of the water. I prefer square whereas Brownie prefers round. Sugar takes both, as long as it's like rain! Brownie's job to study more on the specifications!

Brownie wants it to mounted on a false ceiling so it looks like this.


That is much too expensive to afford. I am okay with just this...



Master basin, we spotted a cool one in black! Simple, square, black. It's a bit costly, but we're keeping that in the back of mind, have to wait for the 3D drawing first, to see if the colour matches. So far, we have not given any colour themes for the master bedroom and rooms. Only kitchen was firm. Guess, its WHITE again. Haha!

Surprisely, sanitary is cheaper than what we have budgeted. We have to buy some from the sanitary shop that Beverly recommends, since she is giving us a $1,000 sanitary voucher.

But guess we will buy stuffs that are expensive and non-bargainable at most places, including Poh Seng, such as toilet paper holder, toilet towels holders, etc. Then we shall use cash for sanitary that we can nego outside. That would then put the voucher into full use. Wonder if they will still give discounts on top of vouchers? Hmmm...

We went to Chan Huat lightings at Balestier. They have a row of shops there, 3 to be exact. Prices are okay but designs are ugly. T5 and PLC lights can be bought from there, if necessary. We have yet to find an electrician! *scratches head*

We spotted this lights for our toilets, concealed, neat and free of dead flies for sure. $35 with GST

Kitchen lights at $46 with GST, they come in 3 sizes. Picture doesn't looks good, but the actual set is very nice. White cabinets with black floor tiles and black lightings! Too bad the dining table is brown..


Two common rooms lights at $35 each with GST

The rest will be using T5 and PLC down lights. A rough idea of what they do carry....there is one shop at the far end of Balestier, near the Thomson hospital, which carries reasonable fixed price called Lightings. This shop offers good designs!

Brownie wants this as a dining light but is having second thoughts now. *giggles*




Chan Huat is good for buying tubes and other misc stuffs. They sell toilet ventilation fans medium size at $25! Must buy for smokers at toilets!
