I bad a huge secret from my wife for an entire year, and today's the day we finally surprised her with it. You see, growing up, everyone has that one thing that if you ever get it, it signifies to you that you've made it in life. Could be a cabinet fridge, maybe it's having two dishwashers. But for us, it's always been a kitchen with crown molding in these fancy lights. So last year, I installed a secret outlet when we built our kitchen. And today, we're surprising Kylie for Valentine's Day by installing these GE sink lights. I wanted these because they won't be accessible, but I can always control them from my my phone or Alexa, and they have a bunch of different customizations that you can do. And I even installed the light bulbs too, so now my entire kitchen is synced together. But my only worry is that it might not look great with the crown, so now we have to get that installed to see how it looks. Anyone that's installed crown molding before, unfortunately, knows the struggle, but this little device made it so much easier. Once I made the cuts, Kylie's mom and I yes instant glue to bond the corners tight, and then we nailed them in. Kylie and I love how this turned out. This is This is cool. So if you wanna spice up your kitchen on a budget, GE's rank lights allow you to customize your space and set the mood no matter if it's game day, Valentine's Day, or just your everyday life.
