The lighting fixtures for the house are a very personal decision that will not only influence the décor of the finished home, but are inspired by the design of the house in turn.  Some houses with an up-scale look and feel might opt for elaborate light fixtures in trendy finishes or crystal chandeliers, while at the other end of the spectrum log homes might opt for rustic iron fixtures and wood or antler adorned lighting to create a “lodge feel”.  The options are nearly endless.  We wanted our house to have a bright, but casual appeal, so we choose simple lighting designs with satin nickel finishes and white frosted glass. We choose the "Bedford Collection" from Progress Lighting for all of the fixtures. 

    The ceiling lights are hung and wired to the gang boxes that were installed by the electricians prior to drywall.  Each fixture is connected to a single switch or a series of switches throughout the house in the appropriate areas.
