Kitchen Lighting

Following last year's kitchen remodel, we figured it was time to replace the kitchen's dated florescent lighting. The before picture is from the middle of our kitchen remodel last year. The after photo is what it looks like now.
 

 We started by yanking out the existing can lights and trim. It's easier than you might think.
 

Installing the new can lights is actually easy, too! They look great. The pendant lighting isn't too bad, either.


Patching up the drywall is where things get more difficult. Here it is before we painted.


And the final result! It has a much more modern and sleek look. It's also a very cost-effective remodel, running us around $350. That's far less than the full remodel, but it generates a very visible change to the kitchen. Probably a smart move if you're planning to sell and don't want to invest too much in changes.
