Shed a little light on the subject
I’ve embarrassed myself and regaled you, my readers, with the tale of how badly I screwed up my last home remodel project. I’m pretty sure there will be other stories at my expense in the future. My thirty-something year-old home still has almost-untouched bathrooms and kitchen and I’m champing at the bit to get working again. The wiring in my house was not top-of-the-line when it was installed, so I’ll have to start there. I may not be the slickest pebble in the stream, but I know better than to try to re-wire the whole house myself. That will be done by a professional later this year, I hope. Once that little task is done, I can move on to the fun stuff. I love shopping for building materials. I’ve already got the paint on hand and I’ve selected the flooring I want. The shed is full of birch and a cabinetmaker is standing by, waiting for my call. Next up will be the fixtures for the kitchen. Today I bookmarked some Kitchen Lighting that I really like. I know that I want to be able to focus spots on my prep area and stove, so I’m looking at track lighting for that. I’ll also have an undercabinet florescent fixture over my sink where so much of the action is. I haven’t decided yet whether I will install lighting in the glass cabinets that will hang over the bar, but probably so. I like that look. Of course, there’s the possiblity that I may change my mind a dozen times before I actually make my selections. I’m still in the dreaming and early-planning stages right now, but I’ll be sharing my stories and misadventures with you in the coming months.
