The entire process will be done in phases, one of which I completed last night. A new light!! There was a recessed light directly above my kitchen sink; I have wanted to convert it to a pendant light for quite some time. I prefer a pendant light over a recessed light, I think it gives a warmer feel and looks less sterile. The great thing is they make recessed lighting conversion kits; they can be found at most home improvement stores. No re-wiring necessary!!
Now, most of the boxes for the conversion kits say "as easy as screwing in a light bulb". Let me just say this was not the case for me. I even had my husband ready to box it up and return it to Lowe's asap. I refused to give up (I'm stubborn like that) and finally got it to cooperate.
So here are a few pictures, I would recommend allowing a little more time than just screwing in a light bulb but it's definitely a DIY project!
I also FINALLY got rid of that hideous scalloped, wood molding piece above the sink as well!!
