Lighting

Anyone who has been in Theatre for any decent amount of time will support this statement. You can build a great set, but if its not well lit, it stinks.

So too with your apartment. Lighting is a BIG deal. I tend to go a little nuts in this department. But hey, it makes a difference.

Bedroom

Ceiling Fan (no overhead lighting)
Switched bedside lamps (3 way switches at bed side and bedroom door)
Overhead light in front of closet
Pull chain lights in closet

Bathroom

Vanity lights above sink
Shower light (recessed in shower enclosure)

Living Room

Ceiling fan (no overhead lighting)
Recessed lights above each window (dimmer switched)

Floor lamp in middle of room (dimmer switched)
Other lamps and indirect sources
Entry hall chandelier
Entry hall sconces
Entry hall closet interior lights (switched and pull chain)
Stain glass “light box”

About 275 feet of two-wire BX cable and 100 feet of three wire BX cable went into the kitchen and half the living room alone. I’ve been blog lite because I’ve been cable heavy.
