I'll probably live with what I've got in place for now, at least until I can do some additional wiring and schtuff. I have some over-the-sink halogens and the range hood light which is pretty good for now. And since the part of the wall with the electrical feed from the basement is open and exposed, it will be relatively easy to change the wiring that I need to.
I'll just add it to the list of stuff I need to do.
