Thanks for tagging along! I'm not too sure why AO went under but I hope it wasn't because they had problems with their tanks lol.

Funny you say that. My buddy came by today and that's what we came up with. He's got a stud finder for me. I figured the wood strip is the best way to centre the light since I can't count on the studs to work out perfectly even for me. Just need to make it look half decent so the wife doesn't give me an earfull.

I think I may try to attempt something similar to this project - http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/ny/f...ct-2009-076138

I'll have to find some type of glossy white paint.
