Mid Century Modern is a style a lot of people like; and if your home was built in the 50's or 60's, it's fun to decorate it in furniture and lighting from that era. The good news is that you don't have to scour all the estate sales looking for lamps and light fixtures and hope they'll work when you get them home. There are retailers like Rejuvenation that offer new lighting that looks exactly like the original versions.
Rejuvenation also carries a line of Victorian period lighting that's available in electric and also in gas to maintain authenticity. If you actually have a home that was built in the 1800's, it's nice to be able to get new light fixtures and furniture without having to purchase replacement pieces from an antique dealer. Now you can check lighting off your to-do list if you've been looking for either Victorian or Colonial fixtures.
Of course, you don't have to stick with any specific style of lighting, no matter when your house was built. You can just furnish your home with specific pieces that appeal to you and create an eclectic home that feels comfortable and has your signature all over it.
Illuminated backsplashes are an alternative to under-counter lighting to lighten up your dark kitchen. Backsplashes serve two functions in a kitchen: as the name suggests, they protect your walls from splashes of food and grease and they also give visual interest to the space. Although glass can scratch, it does resist staining and is easy to clean, so it works well protecting the walls and it certainly provides a visual interest to your kitchen.
Eluma offers their LED backsplashes in both white and custom colors. The lighting is energy efficient and dimmable. The panels are installed in a frame that comes is 5 finishes and the panels themselves are available in numerous styles of etched and patterned glass to provide a custom look to your kitchen. You can select the exact colors and designs to create the perfect ambience for your kitchen or you can have a simpler lighting extend to your shelving to show off your glassware or china.
| Skylights are a great way to add interest and light to a room. Using decorative skylights adds even more to the space ranging from a little splash of color to an artistic piece that becomes the focal point of the room. The idea of using decorative glass to lend color and light to a room is nothing new -- churches have displayed beautiful stained glass windows and ceilings for centuries. | |
As you can see in the picture of the skylight with the sky view and palm trees, the walls are white, the furniture is gray and still the room is very colorful. Without that skylight, the room would be very boring. A decorative skylight can also be used to help mask an unattractive view, like attic windows that may have a view of only a roof or mechanical units. If you have a small, dark entry way you can lighten it up with a skylight and then brighten it up with a pretty design or bright color.

Ever forget to turn on the bathroom vent fan before taking a hot shower? I have and then trying to finish getting ready in the humidity is not such an enjoyable experience. Today we're sharing a ventilation fan that does the remembering for you!
The WhisperControl humidity and temperature sensor anticipates condensation and automatically turns on the Panasonic ventilation fan. Unlike traditional sensors, which turn fans on in response to a rapid rise in humid air and therefore could cause them to switch on unnecessarily in certain climate zones, the maker says, this wall-mounted unit detects hot air and humidity based on dew point. The two models—the FV-WCCS1 and the FV-WCCS2—feature a blue LED light and a manual on/off switch and come in white or almond; the FV-WCCS2 also includes a manual on/off light switch.
This is a simple solution and makes a big difference in a humid bathroom. So if you have a pet peeve about getting ready in a humid bathroom, we suggest you considering this smart product that does the remembering for you. It would make your morning routine a tad bit more comfortable.
The ODL 10″ EZ10ECL Tubular Skylight with Solar-Powered Dimmer enables you to bring natural light into up to 150 square feet of interior space and control that light with a solar-powered remote-control dimmer.

A three-button remote-control dimmer is easy to use, and the dimmer is solar powered and comes with four rechargeable batteries. What a way to be "green"!
