Handyman Keith came by yesterday and deciphered the wiring for my Sputnik Lamp. Far as I can tell, I think we were both at fault. Truthfully, I probably could've figured this out on my own, but hanging light troubleshooting is a royal pain when you only have one set of hands. And the metal electrical box above was kind of loose anyway, so he reinforced that. Though they look dim in the photo, the el cheapo five-watt bulbs seemed to work out ok (they total 125 watts)- they should be enough light. They don't even get very hot.
Also installed more plates and switches, including the Lutron dimmer below for six of the recessed lights. Not sure how easy it is to see in the picture, but there's a tiny slider to the right of the switch. Neato. (as you can see, I still have to do a little paint and patch job on the bottom. Ugh.)
As a general update, I've been pretty busy with life (i.e. work), so renovation is slowed. My plan was to finish all the kitchen cabs, but it's become apparent that I should get all the plumbing and electrical for the sink/dishwasher in the island happening before going any further with the cabs, so I'm gonna call the plumber this week and start that process. Scary!
