*Lights!*
Lighting for the house could well be the easiest of all the decisions we made. We simply hopped down to Balastier and went to a few shops to get a feel of the general pricing. Then we simply got everything in one shop. We did not get the best deal but we did not get ripped of either.The uncle at the shop was a very proficient sales person. His assumption close was damn classic. We simply grabbed the most basic lightings and got it over with. We splurged on the fan though. It better be fucking good and last till the end of time. But honestly I've never heard of ceiling fans dying before.
Speaking of lights, I must get Shuyi one of these for her vanity top.
Some backstage old skool glamor for ya!This is the wicket basket light that we are hanging in the balcony. We got it at $40 which, in my books, is not cheap for a light bulb in a wicket basket. But most shops along Balastier are selling these at $80-$100 a pop.
a steal?Back in 2006 when Shuyi and I were in Venice on our tour, we frequently pass by this little push cart shop manned by this Pakistani man. We bugged him for discounts for days on end and on the last day of our trip, I finally managed to get the discount for the hanging lights shade that we decided that we shall use for our new house in the future.
Well, we finally got to assemble it.
Shuyi seems to like it...
woooo
arggghhhh
da queen in her domainThe shade will be used at Shuyi's little cosy area (ex study room). She decided to call it the AHU: Animal Holding Unit. It worries me.
