• Above the sink, the homeowners have two lights (figure C) that are not appropriate task lighting. Raburn suggests a sconce light on either side of the cabinets.

• The bar area only has one decorative light above (figure D). Raburn will put under-cabinet lighting in, remove the one decorative light and replace it with three pendant lights over the dining and bar area.

• Off the kitchen is a desk area (an alcove underneath the stairs) that has a lone light (figure E). It's extremely dark. Raburn suggests a ceiling fixture that hangs down since there's no room (due to the stairs) for recessed lighting for this area. The lone lamp will be removed.

• All of the cabinets are dark, so Raburn plans to replace the wood cabinet fronts with glass and glass shelves inside. Here is where the puck lighting will be utilized to illuminate the decorative items inside the cabinets.

• One final touch will be to illuminate the framed art that hangs on one of the kitchen walls, which is way too dark. A 4" recessed can light with an eyeball will solve the problem in this area.

In the next segment, the workers get started with installing the lights.
