Handy Hubby Strikes Again

When Louis and I moved into our house, one of the first things on our list was to update all of the lighting, the only one we wanted to keep was the light in the dining room. We made significant progress right when we moved in with the hall lights and removing the nasty gold one in the kitchen but we simply never got around to the ugly bubble light in our kitchen.

For Christmas Louis received a $100 gift card for Home Depot so we decided it is finally time to remove the ugly bubble light.

Here is the ugly bubble light before

Heck, the exposed wires were better looking in the kitchen than the ugly bubble light

The new light!!!

We knew that we wanted track lighting but I wasn't so keen on the typical track light and we wanted the kitchen light to match the rest of the lights in the house. We picked this bronze finish adjustable angle light for only $69!!

The new lights are super crisp and clean and give us so much more light than we thought we were going to get. Our biggest concern when replacing the ugly bubble was how to achieve the same amount of light and this smaller and more stylish version gives off WAY more light.

Major props to Louis who basically installed the entire thing by himself. We only have one step stool and I wasn't tall enough to really be useful. I did fix one of the light shades though :) I have a feeling Louis might have a potential career in installing light fixtures.
