Lighting Ideas For The Powder Bath

All of these bathrooms have unique and interesting

light fixtures.  They all appear to be halogen which

is a wonderful white light.  It is more energy efficient

than incandescent and lasts longer too.

The following link takes you to a blog with many

pretty pictures for powder bath lighting.  Enjoy!!

Clean and Coastal

I just love these rooms by Lynne Morgan Design.

I'm loving these simple pendants in this contemporary kitchen.

This monorail system works beautifully for task lighting and decorative lighting.

ooohhhh, aaahhh...love the tile backsplash...love the simple art

and what about those cool pendants.  The beauty of the MR16

lamp (light bulb) is that it allows designers to create all kinds of

interesting light fixtures.  The quality of an MR16 is

wonderful.  It makes everything sparkle like a jewelry store.

These pieces of art are from art.com or newera.com

Tolix Chairs In Many Colors

"We owe the revival of the brand Tolix to Chantal Andriot. It was with

 passion and loyality for the company that this, ex Financial Directrice,

 launched into the adventure, along with a handful of employees,

 and bought back Tolix.

 The only woman in a man’s world and with her knowledge she was

 able to give back a new vitality, in perpetuating the dual standards of

quality and innovation to an industry skilled in the making of functional

furniture. Today, half of Tolix’s annual turnover is for export, half of

which, is for the United States."

Do you have a favorite color?

Vintage Louis Vuitton

What a great use for vintage Louis Vuitton suite cases!

This bedroom feels sort of masculine.  Do you think

your guy would like this room?

You could use the trunk in front of a sofa as your coffee table.

There is a Louis Vuitton exhibit in Beijing--wish I could

go.  It ends on August 30th.

Shell and Sea Glass Chandeliers

I love these chandeliers.  With designers using chandeliers in just about every room

 in the house, it is nice to have a great selection to choose from.

Traditional and Contemporary Chandeliers

These spaces are rather eclectic, but are great examples of how

a traditional chandelier or a more contemporary chandelier works

equally well.  Do you have a favorite?

Colored Chandeliers

Loving All This Color

Color seems to touch us at a soul level.  Depending on the

lamp you choose (light bulb) your colors will look different.

I had a client who chose beautiful taupe tile for her kitchen

backsplash.  Her electrician brought her the wrong lighting

for under her counter.  Her taupe would have ended up looking

very rosy.

You can use different types of lighting as long as their color

temperatures are similar.

By The Beautiful Sea

I love, love these pictures.  Blues and emeralds just tug at my heart.

My son loves to make fun of me when I drive by the beach near our

home and start to ooohhhh and aaahhhh at the color of the water.

Love the drapery panels on the bed in the first picture.  There is

something so romantic about panels rustling in the breeze.

Look at that beautiful ceiling!  It's always a great idea to put a fan

in a bedroom.  Fans save energy by cooling in the summer.  And...

did you know, they can be reversed and used to warm a space in the

winter.

Crystal Ball Chandelier

The amazing thing about crystal is how it works in all sorts of settings.

It works well in a Traditional setting or a Contemporary setting.

Schonbek has some amazing chandeliers.

I'm installling several for a client this week--very exciting.

Sand Sculptures

These were created in a day and will be washed away at the end of the day.

AMAZING!

Hope you are having a wonderful Sunday.
