Kitchen Light
I feel like all we have been doing the last three months has been renovations. Being at home we have constantly seen all the things we want to do, and thankfully we have had the resources to do them since we are home and not spending money as we usually do. One of the small things we wanted to do in our kitchen this year was to change the light fixture. We hope to do a big kitchen project next year, but our original kitchen light fixture was awful for how we used it. It was too low, and people would constantly hit their head on it. And we really loved our kitchen light fixtures in our previous house and wanted one for our new one. So we contacted our local light company and they delivered it to our car. Then we hired an electrician to install it since our ceilings are too tall for us to do it!
So here is the original light fixture. As you can see, anyone who sits in the two chair below it are at risk of hitting their heads on it, ha! The light fixture isn’t ugly, it just isn’t what we wanted. It is made for a table to be centered underneath it, and our table was too big for us to do that with the space we had. It also pointed all the light down, and if you were the two people lucky enough to sit under it, you would get really, really hot from it!
And below is our new fixture! It is just like the fixtures in our previous house except bigger and we just have one. We get so much light from our windows, so the lights pointing up are perfect. I don’t feel like I need to center our table anymore, and no one is hitting their head on it!
