like the fancy dining light and wall light, each light with 10 x20w and 3x20w halogen bulb respectively... my kitchen with at least 15 nos of T5 with 28w each.... living hall with total 19 T5.... even if i on the standard 6" square down light instead of T5 for kitchen, each with 2x 18w energy saving, there are 6 nos of down light.... pengsan! remember during the testing by my electrician with all lights turn on, w/o aircon being turned on, its scary to look at the meter....

my next trial will be using only 1 bulb instead of 2 per down light, not sure it will be bright enough or not..

frankly, pendant light with energy saving bulb is more sensible (the breakfast counter) 3 bulbs and it's bright enough.

will try the 22w bulb...

5+1 rooms 4 bathrooms, downlight + T5 + all decor lights should be more than 5kW

100k only enuff for wet works + wiring + ceiling
fittings and bathware, appliances, custom furnitures, furnitures, lighting, doors, grille, alarm, soft finishing.... and the list goes very long. i'm really dried up. time to make more money....

having 3 jobs and only sleep 3 hours a day..... LOL

2hp AC ~5.5kW

that was my initial budget but...... the rest is history

it took close to 4 months which it should be around 2.5 months. i was busy during the initial stage and the wet works took way too long as i was not monitoring. the contractor did not work for 2 weeks and only place 2 indon for demolition, wall erection, floor and plumbing works. after 1.5 months structural works, wiring and plaster ceiling were done. then tiling started followed by painting and finishing. the last 1.5 months were the most hectic and stressful part where id works, door, grille, bathroom fittings, lighting, aircon all took place at the same time.... i was at the site almost everyday
if you were to ask me to do this again and hell no i'm not doing in coming 10 years, i have enuff stress for this time... however, i am happy with the end result despite some area could have been done better.

as for the light above and under the kitchen cabinet, it was wired with 1 switch. it's either i on the cabinet light or the ceiling light.

not too much concern on this though.... not going to change this but if you told me before i bought then different story ...hehe

well din really on the T5 evryday, only occasionally and when hosting guests.

definitely can.

well, if go with the cheapest material, for the same setup, around 12k can get kua...

the marble is the existing 1'*1'. from what i understand it is not expensive. not sure the price though...

50k is very far from the overall cost....

the full leather storage bench is actually meant for bed frame, where you place it in front of the bed, and yes, it is full with my kids' toys now..... i got it as display set from Miva with special price after i tekan them when i was negotiating for my bed frame and mattress... rm 350 hehehehe... don't think you can get with that price for a full leather one.

hi emily, plaster ceiling is the cheapest scope af them all.... i did the entire 2.5 story including bath rooms, car porch and back yard garden. all in all around 2850 square feet for rm10k+.

flat cailing is rm2.70 per sf, then plus the light L box, some design bla bla bla

ceiling and lighting goes hand in hand to create the ambient and i suggest invest a little bit in there..

all bedrooms have at least 8' L box above bed's headboard with T5 in there. good for reading on the bed and not glaring

they really have very nice modern curtain.....bought during the year end sales 50% off. its ready made from baagus but they provide cut to fit as i engaged them for curtain tracks as well. all in all spent 5k at baagus.

thanks yvonne for helping!!

you can buy online, or check the shops location

yes i am and thanks.... but still have no time for wall paper and decor items...
you will i believe, looking at how your budget is ballooning! lol

well depending on the scale of the reno, with furniture and appliances definitely not enuff. if you don't touch major in bathroom including tiling, RM 50k could be good for ceiling, wiring, minor tiling, custom furniture and kitchen if you spend wisely. if you are not familiar with reno, try to give Tim a call to have it budgeted accordingly.

it is called "wave board". that was an add on after i've chosen it to be my drawers (see that?). the column was the wastage of my 3 tiny drawers LOL
and to make use of the wastage, it ended up there. thanks to Tim's idea.

Agreed. u need to double up your budget...
wet works for kitchen and car porch with tiles~ 50k
concrete stairs with tiles and railing~8-10k
wiring close 1 eye 4-5k
leakage in bathroom??? u need to hack everything to do waterproofing, meaning rebuilt the entire bathroom+ min 5k
new gate with autogate 4-5k min
.
.
.


good luck dude!

the grille in the kitchen??? that is probably the only grille i did as that was the extension part... the rest i reused the existing ones. i'm not sure as it was part of the kitchen portion.
