Here are the 'befores' from the work. I am taking these pics from my new MacBook, not a real camera so I wasn't able to pick up on the details. And I, stupidly, waited too long to take the "afters" so the lighting blows on the pics I have. I'll have to post the 'afters' tomorrow.

We got three different quotes for the work, two of which came in right about $600. The main expense of the work was going to be the addition of the flood light, because they had to wire it to the wall switch on the inside, and needed to cut through the indoor walls (and repair the walls) to get it up. A friend suggested we call one of their family friends and he came out right away and quoted us a third of the price. We scheduled a date (yesterday) and he was as dependable as can be (I understand this is a rare quality in his line of work).

Really? Because I just put these in my basement and I happen to think they're quite attractive!

Glad you like yours, though!
These pictures of your home are gorgeous. Love the wall color as taken from a photo looked at over the internet, as opposed to living it live...it looks really good! Can't wait for the After pics!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour home is looking spectacular, and p.s. your MAC takes really good pictures! Keep it up!
Kristina - according to "high-design," track lighting is a no-no. But I still have it in my home :) haha. Good work on getting your track lighting to be BEAUTI-ful!
