Damn you light fixture!

So, we hit a point in our kitchen remodel where we had to make some decisions aside from whether we buy 4 or 5 pieces of sheet rock. We needed to figure out our lighting decision. We want to take down the crappy fluorescent light and replace it. But that is the easy part. We headed to Lowes and Home Depot to check out their light fixture section. Agh. Of course, I didn't find anything that really blew me away. Damn, why am I soooo picky??? (Mom, I'm looking at you...). So we found a fixture that we thought would look okay (but not great) so we bought it. I worked on some dry wall and dinner while Jim put the fixture up. I have to say it looks pretty good, BUT it doesn't give off enough light. Shit. It would make a good extra light fixture, but not as a main light.

We are going to head out to some specialty light shops this week, so wish us luck!!

Ta-Da!! The new (but soon to be returned) light fixture. We didn't put it all the way up... there is supposed to be another section to the right of the junction box (thingy in the middle). We figured that we didn't need to put it up since we are going to return it. This picture also shows the dry wall that we put up on the wall.
