It’s time. Actually it’s long past time we take our kitchen from the 80’s and forcibly toss it into the new century. Or at least try. We’ve been living with green counters, broken appliances, chipped paint and a soffit? What the heck is a soffit? Don’t worry, I didn’t know either. Here, let me show you. It’s that UGLY white box housing the lights in the kitchen. Ug. The 80s called. They want their lights back.
Pretty right. So finally a new era is dawning. We will knock that sucker right off the ceiling. Banish florescent lights from our lives. Repaint, and add a pretty little lightfixture in it’s place. The problem. It’s just not that easy. Do you have any idea how many lighting choices there are? Can you begin to fathom how much light that hideous florescent light used to throw around my dated kitchen? Let me tell you, it was a lot! SO a challenge is a foot. To find the perfect lighting. Lightning to pull the entire kitchen together. Lights that are both practical and pretty. Lights that don’t break the bank? Here’s what I need. Something stylish yet timeless that will go with my maple cabinets, new white quartz counters and stainless steel appliances and accents. Take a peek. Do any of these begin to fit the bill?
A)
B)
C)
D)
Tell me what you think? Actually scratch that. HELP! Which direction would you begin to go?
I can’t wait to see what you choose! We need new light fixtures too, but we don’t have an island, so pendant style probably wouldn’t work. Our current lights have white marble-like shades that look wonderful, but block a lot of the light. We’ll look for a shade that lets the light through better, next time.
I’d choose B but that’s just my personal style preference and although the others are beautiful, I simply like the overall look in B
Would love to see the finished product once you’ve made your choice and got it in – these things do take a lot of time and work don’t they?!
choices, choices, choices!!! Personally I’m all for D, but it depends what your personal preferences are
I do like D best, sleek, modern and decorative at the same time. However you have to live with the choice that suits you, your family and your style best 🙂
