There is one thing that anyone can do in their home that immediately makes it look and feel better. Make that two things.
2. OPEN THE BLINDS
Please, I beg of you, if you are having people over, eating breakfast at your table, doing the bills–turn on the lamp and open the blinds. It will change your life, mood, and age, I’m sure of it.
We have two mismatched lamps in our room right now. But, when I pull up the blinds ALL THE WAY, I get perfectly free light! It makes the room look so welcoming.
Are you still doubting the power of lamps after Lampapalooza? Lamps soften a room and add warm, comforting lighting. Turn them on when you are using the room! I couldn’t believe the difference it made when I switched out one lamp with a black shade with two lamps with a light shade. I think the room was twice as bright.
PS, It was brought to my attention that I did not send out the prizes for the Lampapalooza winners–I am so sorry! Prizes going out next week!
