We all adore a well-lit garden or landscaped area on the exterior of our home but aren’t too fond of the hefty electricity bills that often come with them. Thankfully, solar lights have proven to be a game-changer in the realm of outdoor lighting. They’re efficient, eco-friendly, and capable of adding an enchanting ambiance to our gardens.
Lighting is an important part of any room, and the type of lighting you choose for an area can help create the mood and feel you are going for in that particular space. Recessed lights are functional but do not provide a lot of style or visual appeal. Brooke and I wanted to add some character and sophistication to our downstairs hallway, so we decided to convert our recessed lights to flush mounts. If you’re looking for a way to quickly and easily update the look of your space without breaking the bank, consider converting those recessed lights to flush mounts or pendant lights that will add something more to the area. This guide will walk you through the steps required to convert a recessed light to a flush mount light with minimal effort.
Lampshades add a warm, inviting light to any room, but they also need to be cleaned regularly. Dust and dirt can accumulate quickly on lampshades, making them look dull and dingy.

With a few simple steps and some common household items, you can have your shades looking like new in no time!

By doing some basic troubleshooting, I was able to determine the cause and get it fixed in no time. In this article, we’re going to discuss what can cause dimmable LED lights to flicker and tell you how to fix it!
I love incorporating lights with built-ins, especially bookshelves. There’s just something about that extra detail above the shelving that creates so much interest. When choosing the perfect bookshelf lighting, there are a few things you need to take into account. The first thing to consider is the size of the light. You want to make sure that it is not too large or too small for your bookcase. Secondly, you need to decide where to place the light. Some people prefer to have lights on either side of their bookcase, while others like a single light in the center above. Finally, you need to choose between picture lights and wall sconces. In this article, I’ll go over all of this and show you some of my favorite lights for bookshelves.
