      Beautiful! The room looks so bright now -- how a kitchen should be! Great lighting selection with the two pendants over the island & under cabinet lighting.

      Amazing job, the colors really give the room a brighter more open feel.

      Thank you!

      The longer light fixtures make the ceiling looks taller.

      When designing small spaces we love to use various 'tricks' like that to make the space look bigger, more inviting and comfortable.
