I removed a recessed housing kit from my ceiling. I was ready to install a ceiling fan bar and juncton box kit to hang a "double" pendant(bar light) light from. Prior to putting it in the ceiling, I realized that the hole cut in the ceiling(for the 4inch can light) was bigger around than the canopy for the pendant light would cover.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to retrofit this to make it work for me? I have seen medallions that you can put over a hole for decoration but is there anything else that would work just as well or better for me? I am not the biggest fan of the medallions that I have seen. Thanks!

You could always patch the drywall.

That is my last resort solution. Anything else to cover the hole?

Why is that your last resort? Fairly easy to do. Hardest part is trying to match paint. Would you like instructions?

The matching of the paint is the biggest concern. I have a feeling that is won't match. If you have instructions, that would be great. Thanks!
