Drop Ceiling Remodel

Our kitchen is beautiful and we love it, except for the drop ceiling that had two 8ft (two lights each) florescent light fixtures. When they all worked it was like walking into the sun. They also buzzed and it was annoying Robert. In the past we simply took the bulbs out of one which made it bright but bearable and the buzz was half as loud. This worked for 6 years until one of the plastic covers fell from the ceiling and broke. Robert decided it was time for a remodel and Emma decided the remodel was going to be a lot more complicated. Robert wanted to put in recessed lights and texture inside the box. Emma wanted bead-board and crown molding. You can see who won...



For someone who doesn't know the first thing about remodeling kitchens, it worked out pretty well. Took a few days before it looked GREAT but we are sure happy with it now.

Next: sewing a jean blanket, starting to learn the violin.

Wow!!! Looks to me you can do anything you set your mind to. I can't wait to see the jean quilt and to hear you play the violin.
