Home Lighting

We have moved in to our new home for about 2 months now, we are still unpacking our stuff which have been placed in the store room and other corners of our house. Those are the stuff which are not urgently needed so we could take our sweet time to take them out from the boxes.

Most of the room lighting installation are in place now that we could noticed we need some floor lamps to brighten up certain corner of the house. A lamp light will make a room looks cozy, make us more relax and at ease after a hard day work. Unlike table lamp, a floor lamp does not need a table, it can just stand on its own wherever we want it to be, it is highly portable.

I would prefer to have a Victorian style table lamp on the bed side tables and desk lamps with suitable lighting would be best for our girls' study tables. These are the lamps in our wish lists since we do not have any of them at the moment.

There are many designs and some are very stylish, whichever we choose they will have to match our existing home furniture.

Lights for the house

Since last week Clet has been wanting to bring me to an electrical shop in Inanam where there are some nice ceiling lights for sale on discounts. We went there last night just half and hour before the shop closes.

We spent our half an hour there looking up at the ceiling for those lights and chandeliers. Honestly getting a nice and suitable lights for the house is not easy especially with tight budget to work with.

Personally I pretty much prefer to have a chandelier at the entrance / foyer of our house, it makes the house looks grand some how, but the price is not cheap too. I am thinking of getting something resembling of a chandelier but with much cheaper price (lower grade chandelier so to speak).

I quite like this one

and this one

This lemon light caught the eyes on my girls

this is not bad too but insects tend to land on the centre piece (the middle bowl)

My girls wanted me to take photo of this light because of the hanging stars and the moons

This is also one of our choice. Gold trimming, I need a lot of gold...:D But the price is too high for this type of ceiling light.

It must have been the shape of the butterfly fairy wings that made Pearl took photo of this light.

We did not buy any of the lights yet, still searching for the ones that really to our liking and with most reasonable price.

House repair

The tenant of our house that we bought last October has surrendered the keys back to us on the last day of March 2011. When we bought the house, there was a ready tenant, we let them continue to stay there until a couple of months back he was unable to pay for his rental on time so he decided to move out for good.

Last Saturday, I brought my girls to view the inside of the house for the first time (I have never been inside the house when we bought it) when Clet was clearing and cleaning up the mess there. A lot of cleaning up and touching up for this 20 over years old house. We decided to touch it up a little in an inexpensive way just to allow us to move in as soon as possible before another month is up to pay for our rented house.

We do not intend to do any renovation work at the moment, there is no budget for it. Clet will do the touching up of the house with the help of one or two workers . the work started yesterday. According to him, a lot has been done to remove the broken cement ceilings yesterday and today another worker came in to cut the long wild grass at both the front and back yards.

Clet is working his mind out to get the house in shape for us to move in. Will update on the progress again in my coming posts and I have a lot of catching up to do with my blogger friends as I have not been blogging and visiting their blogs for a while now.
