Forgive me, audience, for I have procrastinated. It has been 4 weeks since my last post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More additions to the light plan<\/span><\/strong> Mirjam and I both have a thing about lights. The lighting in any area has to be just right; Not too bright, not too dim and preferably adaptable to the situation. One of the first things we did when we moved into this house, was changing the lights to suit our taste. It makes all the difference. In the past weeks, we made two additions to our light plan:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lanterns on the outside of the porch<\/u><\/strong> There were two floodlights attached to the porch, but we feel these lanterns look more inviting. The lanterns outside match the style of the lights inside the porch and they were spare lights we found in one of the sheds!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lights over the kitchen counter<\/u><\/strong> A wish we have had since we moved into this house 5 months ago: to have countertop lighting that comes from the wall side, so you can never stand in your own light, like when it comes from behind. We had found lighting strips with a remote control at Ikea. I made two shelves and stained them with the same stain that is used in the rest of the house. Together we fixed the lights to the shelves and hid the electrical wiring in the wall. It worked out quite well and it makes all the difference.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
