Despite my many murmurs of doubt, Stephen proved that he can indeed install lighting. I was just worried he would burn the house down or electrocute himself. I grew up thinking my dad was pretty handy (I don't remember a lot of repair men around the house) but installing your own lighting (where none previously existed) seemed a little beyond normal homeowner capabilities (in my head). So wrong! Stephen made it look easy. I told my friends when he threw the switch the first time it was like he had invented fire! I am in awe.

Our old dining room light- wood base! So 1970's and such yellow light |

New dining room lights |

The light (and lack thereof) we used to deal with in the living room |

with the new overhead lights on! and proud installer (that's track lighting to the right) |

These 2 pendant lights match the dining room lights- they are little orange for us, we may change to white or yellow |
He has also replaced all our hall lighting with recessed lighting- it's so nice! We are getting our feet wet in do-it-youself home remodel, floors are next!
