This is a picture of the giant ugly florescent light box in my kitchen that I have hated since the day I moved in. Yes, it is hanging by chains from the ceiling. While it has always been ugly, I seem to notice it more and more as I do upgrades in my kitchen. Ever since I got granite counter tops and new appliances last year, that light box has stuck out like a sore thumb. Getting beautiful hardwood in my kitchen was the tipping point. This morning an electrician came out and replaced my box florescent light with recessed can lights. I love them! Removing that light box has totally opened up my kitchen and it is not only brighter, but looks bigger too. Here's the end result. I still have to fill in the holes where the chains hung, but the major work is done!

Oh My Gosh. That looks so much better! I am happy to take all the credit for this. Years ago you had us over for fondue and I told you that fixture needed to go.
I am glad that you took my advice.
Wow! What a difference! I can't wait for you to have a re-warming house warming party so I can see all these upgrades in person!
Incredible! Now I want to redo my kitchen lights.
Wow! Your kitchen does look a lot bigger now!
Now you should post the picture of the puffy valance that your house came with. That, along with the old light fixture, old countertops and appliances - would make a great before and after picture :) It looks great!
