Mood Lighting

We moved into our house a little over a year ago and have absolutely loved it. But one corner of our kitchen is so dark. That's why I haven't been so good about cooking for Jacob :) We've wanted to change the lighting all year, and on Friday we went to Home Depot to look at track lighting to replace our long florescent lighting. But instead we came away with these cool little lights that attach to the underside of the cabinets. Jacob's dad came over, and they were able to do all kinds of electrical magical, and here are the results! Can I just say that it's nice to be married to such a handy capable guy :)

Without the lights...
...and with the lights!
And the magical underbelly of the cabinets. Part of the magic is that little black circle. That turns on the lights. And it has 3 levels of brightness. So yeah, you can create mood lighting in our kitchen. I think/hope it will inspire more cooking from me :)
Hmmm, Jacob just informed me that he actually still wants to replace the florescent lights. He said this was just a little weekend project to whet his appetite. I'm game as long as we can find some mood track lights :)

I love it! That's such a great idea. I like the fish tank too. I don't think I would be brave enough to do it, but I think it looks pretty cool. :o)
