Different Variations Of Outdoor Lighting
Jul 19th
There are many different kinds of lighting available for your outdoor living space. You could choose a post light, pathway lighting or even flood lights, but for many people the lighting of choice is the outdoor copper sconce. The outdoor sconce is a light that is held up entirely by the wall, meaning there is no base touching the ground as in other forms of lighting. Traditionally the light is directed upwards, but there are also modern variations which direct the light downwards to help reduce unnecessary light pollution.
Pathway lighting is another popular form of lighting. Pathway lights are usually close to the ground and are help up by posts pushed into the ground on either side of a path. This casts a pleasant, warm glow over the path, and is often used on path leading to the front door of a house. There are two main variations of the pathway light that need to be considered, the solar light, and the wired light. Of course both variations have their pros and cons, and it largely depends which appeals to you the most. The solar light has a much easier installation, usually just pushing the post into the ground, and are completely independent of your electricity. Unfortunately, solar lights tend to be dimmer, and require direct sunlight during the day for optimum efficiency. Wired installations usually require a trench to be dug to bury the electric wire running to each light, and they will have a small effect on your electric bill. On the flip side they tend to be brighter, and will work no matter how cloudy it was during the day.
As you can see we just touched base on two forms of lighting, but there are many different kinds of lighting available. While many people love the glow of pathway lighting, other just can’t resist the focal point, and the classic good looks of the outdoor sconce.

Wool Area Rugs Are The Real Deal – Ask Sarah
Mar 3rd
I called over to meet my friend Sarah at her apartment last week and when I arrived I noticed that she had redecorated her living room. It looked really great and the focal point of the room as I saw it was the wool area rug in the center of the room.
‘What a great rug’, I said. ‘How did you find such a perfect rug to match the décor?’ Sarah laughed and told me that she actually did the opposite. She found the rug first and then decorated the room to suit the colors and design of the rug.
‘It has worked out really well for me’, she added. ‘And the really great thing is that a rug like this is a lot less expensive than getting other types of floor coverings’. I asked her about wool area rugs in general. This one looked great but would it last the pace, being in her busy living room. She reckoned that she would have no problems on that score. ‘These wool area rugs are very hard-wearing’ she said. ‘My parents have a similar rug to this and have had it since they were married ad that was not yesterday’, she laughed.
Sarah went on to tell me that she has other friends that have several wool area rugs and they swop them around and even have different rugs for different times of the year. ‘Wool are rugs do not go out of fashion, so I don’t expect to be getting rid of this one any time soon’, she said.
I asked her where she got it and she told me that she went online and found a great range of rugs. ‘I visited a site called http://postdelicious.com and took it from there. I got the rug delivered to my home with free shipping, which was great’.
After I said goodbye and left Sarah’s home, I decided to go home and to do a bit of research on these rugs for myself.
