New Doors, New Lighting

Two projects that needed work at Canvas were new lighting and a new set of doors. The florescent lighting was quite ugly and didn't even provide much light. And the doors are huge and heavy and block out all natural light in the main room. Here are some before photos:

Recessed lighting was chosen for the two rooms downstairs, as they are the safest and least expensive option. They really help to brighten up the room. We also had to have some smoke detectors and emergency lighting installed. The metal doors were painted blue and new patio-style doors were installed just inside the metal doors. 

Pretty new lighting.

New patio doors!

We had a paint day at Canvas where students and alumni came and helped us paint the house, including the metal doors. Photos from our Canvas paint day will be in the next post!
