Help with cove lighting fixtures
Comments (6)The valence lighting is the right solution for your kitchen. Why not look at the new T5 strips, instead of the t8? I buy mine in Canada from Visioneering, but I'm not sure that who they are available from in the US. They simply plug together with 4' connectors, allowing you to overlap them , getting rid of those dark spots. All you would need is a plug installed by the electrican, and then you can do the rest.Going through the cabinet is OK as long as the wire is protected, and the Wiremold will do that...See MoreHelp! Getting conflicting input on cove lighting.
Comments (6)I installed Juno mini trac lighting which is pretty simialr in concept to the Seagull, Kitchler, and Pegasus linear lighting but uses a compact track instead of wire. I'd have to agree that for something with odd shapes the wire system would be much easier and quicker to install. I can't recall which of the linear lighting companies recently improved thier fixtures to help fix this problem. But once the fixture is installed, maybe a zip-tie can help secure it in place? Our transformers do hummm.. very slightly. They are Juno branded, but are cheaply made transformers made in India. The QTran seem to be quiet but are pricey and hard to get if you are a consumer. It depends on where the transformer is located. I placed mine on top of the kitchen cabinets so they are not far from my ears, and when the rest of the house is silent, I can hear them. But I have to try. It is not a big deal. If the installer were going to put the transformer inside a cabinet I'd bet you would never hear it. I think the linear lighting will put out more light and offer some illuminatin vice but a decoration. Right now I have the overcabinet and undercabint lights on in the kitchen, dimmed, and they provide more than enough light to walk through, get to the fridge, sink, dishwasher etc. Not enough to cook, but certainly more than just decorative light splash. Make sure you get a dimmer! Meastro kicks butt....See MoreChoosing paint for coved ceiling
Comments (0)We are re-painting the living room and dining room of our 1930s home, which have these beautiful coved ceilings as shown in the picture. My question is- should I paint the coved part above the molding the same color as the wall below the molding? The previous owners did not, as shown in the photo, but I feel that this cuts off the wall and makes the ceilings feel artificially lower than they actually are....See MoreNew build with kitchen cabinet too large for door cove crown molding
Comments (41)I am so grateful for this feedback I have received today. And thank you again PPF and Bryan911 for all the helpful details. I am going to see about a new upper cabinet. We’ve put too much into this project to let two upper cabinets good us up :) I had a lot of people including a designer I hired for a short time out eyes on this, and we still missed it. Just goes to show you how difficult it can be to build a house and get all the details to work out as hoped. PPF — the reason we broke up the expanse of the pantry door with shaker panels was since we wanted it to look integrates with the cabinetry and to break up the tall doors since we have 10’ ceilings. I do agree also about hinges that can be hidden. It also annoys me that they are such a bright gold when my lights and cabinet hardware will be more of an aged, satin brass. Is it easy to switch out hinges and not mess up the doors?...See MoreRelated Professionals
