Lamps

I've been working on a project that I'm excited to show you all. I'm just finishing up tonight and can hopefully get pictures taken to post for my Fabulous Friday post this week! But to give you a hint about what it is I'm doing a post about lamps. Lighting is extremely important in any design. Lamps specifically though are something that are not too expensive that can completely finish off a design. With a lamp you can add color, drama, glitz and glam, and character to any room. They're also a lot easier to install then any other type of lighting, and are easiest to change if your tastes change. It's much easier to switch out a lamp shade or spray paint the base a new color then it is to remove a sconce or ceiling mounted light fixture. I found a few awesome inspiration pictures to show you just how flexible and vibrant lamps can be. Look back tomorrow for my own lamp project!Use them to add color to a peaceful bedroom.Try something different and put the lamps behind the couch instead of on end tables.Lamps can also add symmetry and a sense of balance to a room, so instead of mixing try matching!
Add a lamp to the entry of your home. Not only can it add character and something interesting, it also can light up a dark entry and make it seem much more welcoming.

Lonny

The newest issue of Lonny was released this week. Be sure to go check it out, they always have some really interesting articles and the best part is that it's free! You can't beat that. I hope you're all having a fantastic summer. I've also decided to change the fabulous Friday post to every other week and then do more posts in between. I was spending all my time finding something for that one post that I missed all the other days of the week! I'm also working on some fun room's on polyvore so be sure to look for those coming up shortly. Enjoy!

Fabulous Friday

This Friday I wanted to share some inspiration for some outdoor covered porches. Now that it's nice enough to spend the evening outside, I just can't help but wish I had one of these where I could just curl up in a chair and read a nice book while listening to the sounds of nature. I've been working with my very first client this week, they're building a house is a quaint country town and one of their requirements was that they have not only a covered porch out front but a covered deck in the back of the house. I hope you enjoy the inspiration I've found!
