We've slowly been working on the kitchen since I removed the hanging cupboards, and last week we had an electrician come in and install can lights in our kitchen. This was one project we didn't feel like tackling ourselves- wiring new lights wasn't something we wanted to mess around with.

Bad picture of the old mismatched lights- I forgot to take a picture before I started changing out the lights.
The 2x4's and crown molding on the ceiling were taken down quite a while ago.
The electricians took down the large nipple light (yuck!) and put a can light there as well as four more. They also installed a box for the pendant lights over the sink.

Both the nipple light and the pendant lights also just had holes punched in the drywall and wires hanging down. I'm really not sure why they cheaped out on these, since there's lots of other details in the house that are upgrades. Maybe it was just the electrician who did a crap job?
Holes waiting to be patched
Next up on the list: patch the holes, then finish painting the kitchen ceiling and the kitchen walls and install crown molding.
Even though it's not finished, the kitchen is already so much brighter and looks so much better. I love the light yellow on the walls- it's so cheerful.

New light over the dining table, where LMS is doing schoolwork
I'm thinking of putting some beadboard on the walls in the dining area. Not sure if I'd paint it white or light gray, though. What do you think?
