You Light Up My Life - Lighting your home.

Image by:qole pejorian
Typically you think of lighting as an important functional part of a home. You use light to see to cook, to brush your teeth, to read a book. Lighting has evolved into so much more than that.

The words, "You Light Up My Life", has played an important role in many wedding ceremonies. It has meaning in home decorating as well.

Light can be used to tackle everyday tasks.
Lighting can also set a mood and  provide architecture and interest, by casting shadows and creating movement.
Light can define a style.

Windows Style - Picture Windows As Architecture

Image by:pink sherbet
Windows style is much more than just part of building a house with 4 walls, a door, and a few windows.

Really look at windows in a different light, and picture windows as architecture with a purpose.

Look at the examples below and see how some bring in light, while others allow air to come in. Notice how the frame around the window can add interest.

Windows that don't even open can add tons of color from light shining on the glass.


~Just as important notice how windows are used. Looking out or perhaps peeping in ~

What do you see when you look out  of or into a window. What is the view beyond the window style. So the next time you contemplate windows style and architecture ask yourself, "what is the purpose I want to use for this window in my home or office and even my exterior.
