went to meet my reno-designer just now, he draw out the changes we wanted, as well as the location of the lighting, TV, telephone points for us, as well as recommend the colours to use for my painting.
also the contractor asked us again if the tile problem really irritates us, cos if it does, instead of just changing the problem tiles, we should just hack out everything return the tiles and pick a different tile cos we have to look at it everyday. He said homogenous tiles all have a colour variation... just that for mine the variation is huge.
but he said even if we opt to re-tile, it will still be on schedule to complete before end of the month. now the only catch is ... i haven't ask him the costs yet...
also, a few tips on lighting. he said if we wanted to use LED lights, get the german ones. lifetime warranty. but cost a $150-$200. as opposed to the china ones which are about $50. there's supposed to be a visible difference. LED lights consume only 1 watt vs the 13 watts for energy saving bulbs. probably gonna use that for a wall light on the passageway, and my door entrance down light cos these will be the ones that will be left on overnight.
