    Nice! I have been wanting to add recessed lighting. You made it look too simple. How do you know about the trusses? Do the recessed lighting come in colors other than white, such as brushed nickel or black? Love a more detailed tutorial on this one to include connecting the wires to the boxes, etc. Thx!

    • @KelseyRomitoDIY
      @KelseyRomitoDIY  Рік тому

      I wouldn’t have known about the trusses but I was changing out an existing light fixture that required me to do a little extra work (long story) but I realized they weren’t solid.
      The recessed lights come with simple, easy to follow directions.

    How are your cabinets holding up with the paint? I'm debating on painting my cabinets but the last batch we had painted..chipped quite a bit. I don't think the girl who did it Primed them...she just added plaster of paris to the paint.

    • @KelseyRomitoDIY

      Sounds like it was like a homemade chalk paint. My cabinets have held up pretty well- especially considering I didn’t do a clear top coat. They took a beating when my kids got hoverboards and were learning to use them. 🤣🤣 I touched them up and they look great.

      @susannovak8263 Рік тому

      On the contrary - the pendants look perfect. In a more open space like this, mixing metals is the way to go. Nothing looks worse in an open space than having all the metals match exactly. It looks construction grade and boring. Mixing it up shows a sense of design and is much more appealing.
