Designers are paid to make carpenters lives harder. They get paid well and are very, very good at that part of their job. The designer on my current project has made some fucked up decisions for the homeowner. It's a huge open air kitchen with a vaulted(23') ceiling. There's recessed lighting that provides more then enough coverage in that area. She decided to have two pendent lights hang down and center on the breakfast bar.
They won't be installed for another 5 months. But when they are installed guess what the view out the rear sliders and glass is going to be? This great mountain view with two dumb fucking pendant lights in the middle of it. lol
