Bathroom Lighting

The main bathroom had some horrible florescent lights above the sink.  The ballast appeared bad as they didn't work so I decided to replace them with some recessed lights from Ikea.  Here is the original fixture:

I had temporarily put a different fixture in so that I could have some light, but there was an issue with that light, causing it to flicker.  So, I decided to get cracking on the recessed lights.  Here is the work in progress:
And the final result:

Lighting is much improved.  I used a piece of wood from the basement and painted it a flat, dark olive green.  The lights are wired in parallel.  I had originally planed to wire them in series, but they were very dim in that configuration.  The fixtures aren't quite sitting flush.  The wire I used was so stiff that it's pushing them out slightly.  I'll have to tinker on that later.  However, overall the look is much better and the lighting is greatly improved.

Accent Paint

Here the paint is about 1/2 done, so with one coat it's a little splotchy on the wall, but gives a good feel for the color.

Harry Potter Hole

Harry Potter Hole, as my friends started calling it, has had its internal trim installed, and I've put paint on the shelving below it.  This will look good once the flooring is installed.

Accent Wall

Been meaning to add some color to the main living area for a while.
