On The Light Track...

The wife and I have been trying to update our house one small thing at a time; one day a ceiling fan, the next a faucet.  This weekend it was time to replace our kitchen light.  This task wasn't exactly high on our list, but that was before I decided to inspect the old fixture and accidentally rip it from the ceiling (that's a story for another day.), thus creating a large, gaping hole about the size of my son's melon.  Not only was Christina less than impressed, but she wasn't about to live very long with a couple of live wires dangling from her ceiling.  Therefore, I moved this task up a few rungs.

Overall we both wanted recessed lighting.  Knowing we neither had the time nor the money to get this done quickly, we decided to try track lighting.  Normally I am not a fan.  Track lighting looks to industrial and modern... give me traditional any day of the week.  However, Christina has mentioned to me on more than one occasion that we live in a contemporary house, not traditional.  Fair enough.  I'll play along.

We went to Lowe's and Christina picked out an average set.  We went home, and after fixing the ceiling, I put up the fixture.  Not bad, to be honest... not bad at all.  I will put in recessed lighting at some point, but this will do for now.
