The Single Most Important Home Accessory

The correct lighting selection will greatly enhance your room--

     
     The "bones" of your room are selected.   You have placed the sofa, chairs, and tables.  You have a few pillows on the seating pieces for color, and you have hung a couple of pieces of art.  Something is still missing.  Your room will never come to life without the properly selected lighting.

     Here are some pictures of beautiful rooms that are complete with the selection of the single most important room accessory --the lighting.

 There is no doubt this is a beautiful room already.  Sometimes a room can be enhanced with beautiful lighting and sometimes the lighting is needed for function.

 

This is another beautifully designed and interesting room, however the living room can be the hardest room to properly light.  The addition of the extra lighting solves that problem, and gives an additional accessory to the room to and provides lighting function.

Does You Home Need Interior Therapy?

       Today I am featuring one of my favorite celebrity designers, Jeff Lewis.  I have loved watching his series "Flipping Out" for five years and his new show "Interior Therapy".  You have to add "Interior Therapy" on Bravo TV Tuesday nights at 9:00 pm, there are several other times it is shown, put it on to DVR because you will soon be hooked.  The clients he helps are in need of "life therapy" as well as "interior therapy".  Jeff listens very carefully with their wish list of things and proceeds with what he really thinks they need.  All always ends well, with the help of his capable, calm and soothing assistant Jenny.  Jeff's acting is very entertaining and as for his design skills...see for yourself.  I feel like arguing with him just so I can have him into my home!  You will know what this means when you watch his show.  Do Not Miss.
