I've seen the light

... and it's ugly.

We have begun to tackle the lighting in the house. I removed the hallway light fixture to reveal a large, gaping hole. Whoever installed the previous fixture had cut a very large opening around the electrical box and covered it with the base of the fixture, a kind of non-descript brass n' glass thing from the cheap rack at Ye Olde Big Box Home Store.

So now I get to make a trip back to said Big Box Home Store to get materials to patch the hole and install our modern Ikea fixture we took from our apartment.

I would like to get a set of the Cove from Satellite Modern Lighting, but cost may put them on hold for a bit until we're more flush with cash.

Original crappy hall fixture.
