cooktop/sink, and the other two in a straight line from the cooktop/sink can towards the banquette. While DJ and I were looking for a pendant light for the breezeway, we found a set of fixtures that we really liked and we decided to use multiple fixtures of the same style to tie together the front hall, kitchen and breezeway. You can see a photo of the pendant light we're going to use over the kitchen table. We've got a shorter fixture for the front hall and a fixture that is tight to the ceiling for the breezeway.So, one of the cans was moved on the light plan to be over the prep sink. That ended up getting moved twice because it was over the cabinets, then it was over the crown molding. It's now a few inches past the crown molding, and still mainly lined up with the sink (that it is no longer above). Hmm. I'd been stewing over this for a few days because it didn't really make sense there and I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it. I did think of moving it to hall near the bath entrance. That area seems very dark now, but it didn't before. I think it just seems dark because the kitchen is brighter with the new lighting and the plastic and barriers are blocking a lot of light. I never really felt we needed a
light there before so I dropped that idea.John came by yesterday and scowled at the same can light. He didn't like the way it was close to a cabinet and was off center of that cabinet. We can't center it because there is a joist in the way. John suggested adding a second can, so there would be one lined up with each door of the cabinet, and to add wall washer trim kits to the cans. That would direct the light towards the cabinet doors. Accentuating these doors will be very nice since they are the glass cabinet doors. We'll want to drop the wattage of the bulbs in those cans to make it an accent, rather than main lighting. I think this will work out very nicely. Thanks for the idea John!
