Lighting up

As I reported recently, I’ve had to finally Do Something about my kitchen lighting. I just couldn’t stand that harsh light in the single fixture.

So on Tuesday the electrician—Jeff Littlejohn from JML Electric; if you’re in NoVa, he’s the man for you—came out. In less than 90 minutes he installed three flush-mounted recessed lights. When he flipped the switch, my ratty old kitchen looked like a showroom. It was amazing.

You cannot believe what a difference those three lights make. No shadows on the counter wherever I’m working. It looks…positive.

(On the downside, I can see every single place where I missed something when wiping down the counters. This is going to end up with more work for me.)

I’m going to think about a dimmer; I think I need to live with this brightness for a while. But I’m so happy I finally got this one ticked off my 2017 move-in list.

And yes: I'll finally have to call a guy to patch and paint over all the holes in the ceiling.
