Thrilled with new chandelier & kitchen lights
Comments (10)Thanks guys - am happy with the new chandelier - it looks like it was always there! "Tell me how your electrican put lights on your existing cabinets?" He hardwired them(LED light strips) to the existing outlets, using a wire from the light to the outlet. The strips themselves have on/off switches. The wires are tucked up alongside the underneath of the cabinet, and are not visible unless you look. Do you need a pic? I thought that there was enough of a lip on the front of the cabinets to hide the fixtures, which are pretty slim. Not so much, but I don't think it's a huge problem....See Morevote for new Chandelier/foyer light
Comments (12)First, I love your house! I drool over woodwork like that. Next, your foyer flushmount is the same fixture I have twice in my hallway and I absolutely hate them and want to replace them. Because it's a hallway with standard 8' ceilings I'll use flushmount. Now maybe I'm not understanding something based on the other comments here, but I would do a hanging light over your table and I'd definitely do a hanging light in the foyer with your ceiling there being so high. My inclination would not be to go to a modern looking fixture in either place, as I love those that would be more in keeping with the wonderful period of the house. Even though I do like the first one you featured. You have something special with that house that is not found in the newer houses, no matter how pretty they may be. I drool over antique fixtures like THIS, and THIS, and THIS, and THIS, And THIS French deco, and most certainly THIS if you can afford something like that (I can't) or find it for less -- I've seen similar on there for less, ... and judging from the number of bids on many of them I'm far from alone. Of course you can and should use a modern looking fixture if that's what you reallly want. :-)...See More? kitchen- install new can light to connect to chandelier wiring
