6-inch recessed cans lights in 8-foot ceilings?
Comments (10)We had ceilings that were a little less than 8 ft in our last house and used 6" recessed cans. We also used them throughout this house, which has 9 ft ceilings downstairs, but 8 ft ceilings upstairs. They have the white trim rings, so blend with the ceilings and I think they're fine. I don't know if it helps, but here are photos that show the ones in our bedroom and in the fridge/pantry alcove of our kitchen, which both have ceilings at 8 ft. The one in the kitchen shows up more because of the green ceiling, and the camera captures a glow that makes it look more obvious than it does in person....See More7 foot tall fridge, 8 foot ceilings
Comments (13)dang this new ipad. I can't figure out how to cut and paste pics from my photo bucket account here. I've had it for five mins so forgive me. I'll explain what I have and try to get a pic tomorrow (it's in photobucket igloochic lake house kitchen if you know how to search photo bucket). Anyhoo I had the same problem and I love our solution which was a fridge debth cabinet which is open in the front (just a 9" opening and then molding). In the back of the deep cab I keep trays and serving platters we only use for parties. But in front of those I have my yellow ware bowls and they are a lovely accent for the kitchen plus easy to reach since we have a kick stool in the kitchen. It's a very functional space....See Moreshow me your island lighting for 8 foot ceilings!
Comments (25)My kitchen came with builder grade florescent and I hated it for 18 years but it did provide a lot of light. When the electrician installed the pendants, I initially thought I might hate them because I was used to nothing across the line of sight. Now, I love my whimsical pendants. I have LED bulbs in them, about 3000 Kelvin because I like that light quality....See More7 foot doors with 8 foot ceilings - pictures?
Comments (27)E K, after extensive deliberation, we have decided to keep standard height interior doors throughout (6'8"). We are going with higher windows and sliding French doors in rooms with higher ceilings. I ended up deciding that the 6'8" interior doors looked fine and that windows can be set higher than the doors (I looked at lots of pictures and actual houses). I actually drew several walls to scale with the 6'8" doors and higher windows to ensure I would like that look. I decided the 7' doors were an unnecessary expenses and wouldn't look that much different from 6'8" doors. I think the higher windows will bring in more light and help the ceilings to look taller. There is one bedroom where I have one 8' wall that slopes up to 9' and I will have windows on both these walls - that was my trickiest problem. In that room, I've decided to have 6'8" window height on the 8' wall and 7'8" window height on the 9' wall with 6'8" windows. Its not built yet but I hope it looks ok. Below is a house that helped me think through my decision. It has higher windows than doors. In addition, in one room the windows on two walls are set at different heights. I think it looks ok and I think the sloped ceiling in my room will make the varying window heights look even more intentional.

In fact, I will be doing 8' sliding doors and windows set at 8' in our master bedroom that has 9' ceilings. This room will also have 6'8" interior doors. I can post pictures but it won't be built for several months....See MoreUser
