Next thing I knew, I was sulking in the lighting aisle at Home Depot glumly eating a slice of pizza as R shopped for a power tool attachment that could drill 6″ holes in sheetrock. R insisted we could handle it and reminded me of all the money we’d save by doing it ourselves ( assuming we didn’t burn the house down or turn our ceiling into a piece of Swiss cheese). When R told me that actually his vision was to install the lights ourselves… my enthusiasm for the project plummeted wavered slightly. When R told me about his vision of replacing the brass-and-wood ceiling fan in our living room with recessed lights, I gave two enthusiastic thumbs up.ĭespite our open concept floor plan, our living room is kinda small. Eliminating a bulky light fixture and replacing it with tons of bright white LED lights hidden in the ceiling seemed like a great way to trick people into thinking the room is bigger than it actually is open up some space and bring more light into the room.Īnd since we already had recessed lights in the kitchen, it would be a great way to tie the two rooms together and establish continuity. Because drilling a bunch of holes in the ceiling isn’t terrifying at all, right?
