On a related note- we also got an estimate for new counters and floors, and picked out new appliances. But this is not the focus of today's blog entry. Because this weekend, dear readers, my husband used many tools- wire cutters, a drill, screwdrivers, a hammer, paint, spackle- and electricity (!) and installed our new kitchen lights.
Yes, we turned off the circuit. Yes, we had a few bumps in the road. Yes, there is still some work to be done. But let me tell you- this was big.
First a picture from "before"
Taking down the old light fixture
Removing the long bulbs.
Taking the rest of the fixture off the ceiling
The lovely holes we were left with. Oh, and the huge square that our painter couldn't reach.
Let the repairs begin! (this was where the smooth sailing ended, and when I stopped taking pictures)
Ta da!
We were so happy to have light and a whole ceiling again, we invited Liz and Tommy over for dinner. After two straight days of Kitchen Beautification Project-- Part I, David still cooked an amazing lamb stew, his crowd-pleasing three potato gratin and yummy shredded brussell sprouts.
So to recap-- David is awesome, I took pictures of his awesomeness and we are on our way to a fabulous kitchen.
