Let their be Recessed Light

     I felt that the original lighting for the main level was lacking. Kristin liked the idea of lots of lamps but, while a great idea I needed a bit more general over head lighting. Recessed lights it would be. I laid them out so that they were in four specific groupings. Two in the living room and two in the kitchen area. This way you could manage them and not have too much light. The Living room area lights were also put on dimmers. Finally CFLs (compact Florescent  lights) are dimmable. We went with 5" cans in the living room and 4" in the kitchen. The 6" lights just looked to big for the room.

The Kitchen Lights

The Kitchen was grouped with three over the cabinets and three over the soon to be built island

The Living room lights

Ben and I spent many a long hour in the attic wiring all of these things. In the end definitely worth the effort.
