Hi lots2sew, It's not a bad idea at all to put some pendant light fixtures, if you wanted to add some pizzazz and glam to the ceiling space so it's not so dull looking. We're just speaking from the perspective of practicality, as we are a custom lighting design manufacturer. Creating a certain mood or what have you falls under the purview of an interior designer or lighting architect. On that note, we can refer you to these businesses that are both a showroom and provide interior design consultations: Peaks and Rafters Toronto 585 Dupont St M6G 1Y8 Tel: 647-350-3500 Email: toronto@peaksandrafters.com Monday-Friday 9:00 am – 5:00 pm Saturday 10:00 am – 6:00 pm Sunday Closed We have worked with Kelsey Catcher and they have purchased several table lamps from us in the past.

If you are planning to re do the ceiling, I would drag that power up to the ceiling and put in either a junction box or a recessed light. you could do a hanging fixture that way and regain that wall for more practical purposes. Since you will be muckin around up there anyway it should be fairly simple for an electrician to change it up.

Hi Yun, there are a few questions to consider: - First, from the pics I don't see an existing recessed can "on right side where stair case" - do you mean above the stair case lighting the steps? - From the pic I think the chandelier is placed where I circled in BLUE, and that looks like it will throw to the stair landing (enough in combination with an over-stair light). The question is this chandelier, which is primarily a bejeweled piece for the purpose of wowwing guests at the Entry, looks to only have a switch at the Entry. Because you might want this existing light location for the Powder Room use - would you leave it on after guests have settled, or, during daily use, walk over to the door to switch it on when using the Powder? If daily or Powder use is a concern, then maybe there should be (3) recessed cans instead of a chandelier. And, maybe there should be a 3-way switch from the Kitchen for any hallway lights to get to the Powder. - The closet hallway should have a light as indicated by the GREEN circle regardless of the chandelier situation. - It looks like there is an open doorway frame right at the Kitchen (in ORANGE), so I think whatever you do here in the hallway can be considered separate from the Kitchen layout aesthetically. If I am reading the picture wrong then you may want to consider the Kitchen lighting layout with the hallway. - As far as the CO detector, this is connected by wiring to other units, so it is a little more complicated than just "patch and paint." Depending on where it moves to, it may need a new longer homerun of wire. You can check Ontario code, but for reference per IRC you need at minimum a smoke per floor and COs are at bedrooms, but you probably have a combo which doesn't hurt. Putting them at the stair for each floor, when there are no bedrooms nearby, is competent placement.

What I meant was, bring thr upstairs fixture downstairs, move the downstairs upstairs and place the downstairs fixture closer to the front door, rather than in the middle of the hallway and add another fixture toward the end of the downstairs hall or augment the fixture with recessed lights.
