Tom Dixon Light Crush.

I’m enamored with Tom Dixon’s lighting designs. Edgy, sexy, sculptural, and "bling" are some of the adjectives that come to mind w...

Are you well lit?

“The best-lit rooms have layers of light that blend well together,” ~ architect and designer David Rockwell.<br /><br /><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-5jlTfwsQj38/USdyzXcpaJI/AAAAAAAAFgQ/tHrLciuq1SA/s1600-h/lighting%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="584" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-tc2uR6h-IDQ/USdyz7lpmoI/AAAAAAAAFgY/LbeePRtQYAI/lighting_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="" width="584" /></a><br />Ambient, task, accent, and decorative are categories of lighting that we should think about when lighting and choosing lighting for a room. Natural light is best but when natural light sources are limited there should be plenty of light sources.<br /><br /><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-8PKVqyY9qCs/USdy0pooWNI/AAAAAAAAFgg/9lhAJTjj4WQ/s1600-h/lighting4%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="lighting4" border="0" height="540" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-dgBeDBNxjz0/USdy1V2gVxI/AAAAAAAAFgo/rX9-adbgMC4/lighting4_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="lighting4" width="700" /></a><br />Layering is important because natural light changes throughout the day. Sit in all the rooms of your home throughout the day and you will notice where lighting needs to be supplemented. The right kind of lighting in the right space will add a glow and a warmth to your surroundings.<br /><br /><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-jiUG8j5BfDs/USdy2EzlqhI/AAAAAAAAFgw/drW3gVccHIg/s1600-h/lighting6%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img alt="lighting6" border="0" height="779" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-BuFw50tScr4/USdy2zgehkI/AAAAAAAAFg4/T-9ckQ66pv0/lighting6_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="lighting6" width="624" /></a><br /><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-R4_JKNYWwjM/USdy3TEddhI/AAAAAAAAFhA/rizf196EuKM/s1600-h/lighting8%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="lighting8" border="0" height="779" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-5R7riIvHjzA/USdy4PbkylI/AAAAAAAAFhI/Q1TDqJnN7pU/lighting8_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="lighting8" width="624" /></a><br />This <strong><a href="http://www.mailorderlighting.co.uk/ceiling-lights-c1/flush-t132"><span style="color: #c0504d;">flush ceiling light</span></a></strong> paired with the lamp for task lighting makes this office efficient. The natural light makes it even more liveable and inviting.<br /><br /><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-r2KslohjDxQ/USdy4sG44CI/AAAAAAAAFhQ/uWAmnj0wb60/s1600-h/lighting7%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="lighting7" border="0" height="924" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-jVxPxQXzPV0/USdy5JhKDeI/AAAAAAAAFhY/z8C-hEyWbAo/lighting7_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="lighting7" width="694" /></a><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://www.mailorderlighting.co.uk/dar-lighting-m8"><strong><span style="color: #d16349;">Pendant lighting</span></strong></a> is a great way to light your dining table…</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-dIKsvDk86qs/USdy5gqi8FI/AAAAAAAAFhg/WsxtcdkWVqM/s1600-h/lighting9%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img alt="lighting9" border="0" height="916" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-wUNA4ziDpco/USdy6jpXv3I/AAAAAAAAFho/si9Bom5ZSyQ/lighting9_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="lighting9" width="684" /></a></div>How is the lighting in your home?  Some of the rooms in my home could definitely do with some more layers of lighting. In addition, I have been meaning to add dimmers to some very key lighting areas. I think dimmers are essential in some areas. What do you think? <br /><br />In other news: Both kiddos have been quite sick with horrible ear infections, coughs, runny noses, lack of appetite and fevers<img alt="Sad smile" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-sadsmile" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-_Fyo-Oe4J6I/USdy6xD6bLI/AAAAAAAAFhw/QZbp-dH-fxA/wlEmoticon-sadsmile%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none;" />.  I am hoping there will be a breakthrough for them this weekend and they’ll feel much better!   Blessings and happy weekend everyone!
