Lighting in the kitchen was equally bad - 3 sets of 4' flourescent bulbs on two switches. Was kinda OK as far as just having light, but due to placement when you were actually cooking your body would block most of it.

Lighting is my thing. It part science and part art. If you like or still need help, get me a floor plan and I'll mark out the location for ya. Recess lights? Get undercounter lights. Notice the toe kick light under the vanity cabinet in the bath with the black and white floor tile? We often install that in out kitchen remodel. We use a very, very mall LED hooked up to a regular switch on the way out of the kitchen so when you go to bed, flip on switch and leave that on all night. No fun stubbing the big toe on the way to get a drink of water in pitch darkness. Sure beats the heck out of the $.99 plug in the socket night lights.
