Let there be light!

My ability for photos has returned.
Here are some good shots. First is the living room, next is one of the bedrooms. The living room baseboards need some TLC and are getting it.

The electrical is nearly finished with today as the final day. To be honest, I felt a reversion into some cromagnon phase of development with the complete lack of light. Now, there is plenty.
Unlike the last project, I elected to have recessed lighting installed in the living room/dining room area. But rather than have the lights beam straight down, thereby incinerating anything beneath them, I had them pointed towards the walls. This creates this "museum" effect whereas nice pictures on the walls are highlighted.
When the idea of track lighting was suggested for the hallway I agreed immediately. With this 20 foot corridor, visualizing little lights shining against the wall and carrying the "museum" effect through thrilled me.
It’s not a large leap in logic to assume the renters who do take this house will already have nice paintings or pictures to put on the wall.
Then there’s the recessed lighting in the kitchen.
Once again, I am creating a house I don’t want to rent out but keep for myself.

The house you want to keep for yourself will appeal to other professionals with the same taste and the ability to make the rent payments. Nothing you have done is so personal or exotic that potential trnants will be put off.
Sorry to hear that you are no longer working with Mikki. People like her are hard to replace.
AI, I’m sure your correct. My statement is meant as a reflection of places where I have lived. It is my desire that one day, some house I rehab will be mine.
