How to Install Recessed Lighting

Jun 15

Written By Bill

Lighting really helps to set the mood and energy of a space and the lighting in my kitchen was too bright, too focused in one place, and just too ugly to stay the way it was! It made for an uninviting kitchen, so I changed it. In this video I show you how I replaced my ugly existing kitchen light with recessed lighting! It looks fantastic and really brings a new energy to the kitchen. Let me show you how to do it!
