Once-was-chinese-hat

There is something about me and not being able to accept things for what they are.

The damn chinese hat. (Covered in cobwebs.. but whatever)
Classic piece of design right there. Its such a simple, well known, affordable piece of everyday design that has become part of a trazillion lives around the globe (whether they like it or not). Though, i will give it some credit, it serves its purpose well and has been rewarded by years of sales and i'm sure will be rewarded for years to come.

But it irritates me... I have two sitting right in front of me. I randomly feel the urge to modify, to create, to change it. So out comes the knife and i begin to shape it into petal forms. I'm not saying i have recovered the chinese hat by any means. But i feel such satisfaction looking up at my 'once-was-chinese-hat' creation.

A better image of our new LED Under Cabinet Lighting

Oh look, some light!

Given that i work in lighting... I thought it was only about time that i should get off my bum and install our new LED under cabinet lighting.

I spent this weekend making a channel in our wall kitchen cabinets for the LED profile to recess into... Finally got the lighting installed and the cabinets back on the wall today.

Here they are... This is daylight too so sun streaming in the window doesn't help show the awesome bench lighting that these produce. Pretty much don't need any other lights in the kitchen - thats how cool they are!

Nothing better than some exaggeration to top my story off. Realistically there will be more lights to come...
