Scary Cabin

The pantry was pre-wired for a light, but it had an ugly little light fixture. The box that the light fixture attached to was right above the doorway. This location doesn’t leave a lot of options for something better. A normal ceiling light is too big to fit there. What we ended up with is a LED under counter type light bar. It fits and it’s LED. With a bit of hacking, it mounts to the existing box. Still not real pretty, but it is the under-stairs pantry.

We’re starting to think about what we want to do in the living room now that the hearth is gone and the walls are stripped of their paneling. We tore off the sheetrock on the wall where the hearth was located so we could see what we have to work with. We do want a gas fireplace installed here. To level out the floor, we had to add in some 3/8” particle board where the hearth was located.

We also spent time working on the hallway so that we could get it textured and primed.

Speaking of gas fireplaces, there are quite a few different brands and a few places around to look at them. Finding a dealer that will install and support in Clipper Mills and we’re comfortable is a bit of a challenge and that will determine what brand of fireplace we get.
