Living Room Lighting

The lighting in our homes living room is expected to serve dual purposes. The general purpose is for everyday living. The second purpose is for entertaining. Many of us expect our living room lighting to switch from general lighting, to the softer lighting that we prefer when we entertain.

Recognizing that we expect the lighting to suddenly ?morph? into the entertainment mode is half the battle. The other half is in selecting the lighting that can actually accomplish this.

When looking for the proper lighting, it is also important to consider the room?s features.
For example, do you have a darker room with darker furnishings, or do you have a lighter room with lighter furnishings. What style furnishings do you have? Which features would you like to accent, and which feature would you like to draw less attention to.

A chandelier is a major source of light and should always be considered in the living room. A chandelier can light up the entire room, or, with a dimmer, you can provide the glow that you would like to achieve for an after dinner party gathering. However, you need to make sure that the chandelier you choose does not overwhelm the rest of the room. The chandelier needs to be proportionate to the room, and blend easily with the style of the room.

A variety of light sources seem to make people the most comfortable. So combine different types of lighting. For example, add the proper amount of table lamps with the chandelier, and possibly some candles to the mix. Candles, along with an ornate candle holder, always add to the tranquility of the room. Thus, making your guests, and yourself, feel more relaxed.

With so many varieties of lighting available these days, it is difficult to choose. But when you consider that each source of light is also a work of art, your decision is easier. Or possibly, more difficult. Just remember the style that always makes you feel more comfortable and make your choices around that.

Kate Knittel fell in love with Capodimonte products several years ago. She made it her goal to originate the opening of The Capodimonte Shoppe to introduce these Italian made beauties to the general public. She invites you to take a peek at the Capodimonte Table Lamps and Chandeliers at The Capodimonte Shoppe.

Mirror’s Edge Review

Fri, 21 Nov 2008 19:34:54 -0800
Whilst I often carefully consider my purchase of a new game, Mirror’s Edge seems to have cleverly evaded my careful evaluation of which game I should buy next. The mere fact that it seems to be doing something completely different gave me a sufficiently compelling argument to say “stuff it” and just go out and get it. Now, most of you reading this will have seen the trailers; consequently, you will all be thinking how cool this game is right about now. There is probably a lesser volume of you

Christmas Bathroom Decorating (Part 2)

If you're using fabric instead of a shower curtain, you'll need to make it standard shower curtain size, which is about 72" x 72". Cut the fabric 73" x 73", fold each side over one half inch, press into place, and hem each side to make smooth edges. Purchase plastic rings (usually found near the curtain rods) and sew them to the top for shower curtain rings. If you don't already have a second rod, pick up a tension rod. They are inexpensive and simple to install. The next step is finding a gre
