Lucy Ave. - Details

11Sep07

200709110731I thought it might be nice to show some of the details we have been working on lately. We are starting to install light fixtures, switches and outlets. We have selected all of our light fixtures and a few are shown here. It has been hard to make final decisions even on simple things like can-light trim. We are quite happy with our light fixtures in general and feel like we spent the minimum price for lights that we really like. The only fixture we spent more than $100.00 on was the front exterior light and it is our favorite. Shown to the left are some other finish details (click to enlarge). I promised somebody a long time ago that I would show a photo of our window trim detail. There is actually no trim whatsoever but just the metal sheetrock edging that fits in to a small slit in the window jamb. A small bead of caulk will be placed where the window and metal meet. Then the metal edging will be painted the wall color. Also shown is one of the steel brackets that hold our beams together. These were custom fabricated out of a metal similar to the stairs. This will later be varnished to prevent rust.

    Can you share where you bought your light fixtures?

    allmodernlighting.com, lumens.com for all but the the dining room “cerebrum” which was purchased at Modern Materials in Salt Lake City, UT. It took lots of searching to find affordable, tasteful lighting. We did also find simple ceiling mount fixtures for bedrooms at Lowe’s.
