Thinking about a kitchen remodel.
 We are starting to give serious thought to remodeling our kitchen.The picture on the left is the kitchen as it is now. Though the existing cabinets give the kitchen a cozy country cabin look, that isn’t really what the house is all about. We want to bring the kitchen more into the mid century modern look in which it was originally designed. One thing we will be doing is putting on different cabinet doors that go better with the style of the house. We are also planning on installing new counter tops. We are still looking around for a material we like but haven’t made a decision yet. It will definitely not be granite. We are planning on putting an Energy Star refrigerator in the space where the fake bricks currently are and moving the oven under the stove. The lighting for the room is inadequate but we haven’t figured out what to do with it yet. That is definitely going to be a challenge. At this point we are still in the “early confused stage” of planning. However, we are to the point where we are ready to have a contractor come out and discuss how realistic our preliminary ideas might be. Once we’ve talked to the contractor we will regroup and figure out what we want to do next. |

Hi,
My husband and I are retro renovating our 1950’s kitchen.
We are in the process of looking for lighting. Where did you find the track lighting that is on your kitchen ceiling?

The lighting in the kitchen came with the house and we don’t know what it is.
We recently had an electrician look at it with the thought of adding additional lighting to match it. He couldn’t find a brand name so we still don’t really know what we have.
We have learned that what we have is called monorail lighting, not track lighting, so if you look for that you might be closer to what you are looking for.
We know how confusing figuring out lighting can be. Good luck in your hunting.
