See The Light

I'm so happy so many of you loved yesterday's post about my team... As I mentioned please check out if there is a Common Threads program in your town because our children need good activities that they can enjoy and have fun with!

 Cool and white silhouetted effect on this simple accessories

As we talk about illumination today I want to share another type of illumination to all of you. As I walk all over the place taking pictures of everything around me I can't help to be attracted to light and the great effects it has on things.

 Love these flowery chandeliers with lots of charm

Light can create or make a space... Restaurants that are too dark and you can't see what you're eating have a hard time bringing people in but on the other hand there is nothing more romantic that a dinner whit the one that makes your knees week lit by soft warm light.

I find this image so classic and in a way romantic with the golds, 
soft round shapes and warm light... anyone says dinner party?

Have a great day and hope you see the "light at the end of the tunnel" of this week

  1. I have this pretty chandelier in my bedroom and I'm always staring at the pretty light patterns, haha :)

  2. I'm not a fan of very bright overhead light, but love playing with smaller lamps placed strategically around a room. I definitely know what you mean about the dark restaurants and likewise, I find too bright lights horrible as well (it's like being in a hospital). Adore those flowery chandeliers!

  4. Such a pretty glow off that last one, isn't there? I have to say, my house has pretty good natural light, but I need to work on my lighting. So many projects to do!
    Thanks for the sweet comments on my cakes and cupcakes - you really made my day!

  9. You're so right! Lighting is everything, especially when it comes to photography! Lighting can make a photo look soft and ethereal or powerful and dramatic!

  18. You know, I have always had a thing against over-head lighting. I have always preferred soft, mellow lights. And I too agree that nothing beats dinner with a loved one by romantic light.

    Have a great weekend ahead.

  19. The right lighting is imperative as it can easily create or break inspiration! These are pretty shots -- have a great weekend!

  21. Gorgeous pictures! And I absolutely agree about light: when we lived in NY my husband and I once went out on a date and ate at Giorgio's of Gramercy, and the food and drinks were fabulous and the service really wonderful, but OMG was it ever dark. And with dark red walls. I would still go back, but I generally prefer a bit more light when I am eating ;-)
