Lighting: It Does a Condo Good

After having some fun playing Guitar Hero and DDR with some old friends, I (and one of the friends) installed some strip lighting in the main room, to (a) replace an old light fixture that screamed early 90s, and (b) used 200 watts of power without much effect (it used a bunch of the candle-style incandescent bulbs).

My Condo - the Main Room

The main room is just about complete... I am going to focus a little more effort on getting the bathroom and kitchen in tip-top shape (both in cleanliness and style), but for now, a well-light main room is nice!

On the far left, you have the TV, game and sound system, a little wall table, and two lamps. Then you have the large patio doors (three panes of glass across the whole length!), covered with sheers (I think those might be gone soon). Next is the couch flanked by two in-wall speakers (left/right surround) and capped by a large canvas print of the Saint Louis Arch (picture by yours truly, from a few years back). Next is a media/book shelf system from Lowe's using spiffy shelves attached to the wall (can't hold much weight, but they look darn spiffy!). Finally the Last Supper is depicted on the wall above the small dining table.

Not pictured is a little wood end table on the far side of the couch... I'm thinking of getting another small table on the opposite side (facing camera) of the couch, because it's so nice to be able to set your drink down at an arm's reach.
