Your Mood and Lighting...The Connect

As we continue our lighting series, I want to leave you with just one thought that just might change your mood:



“There’s a visceral connection between our surroundings and our mood, and the amount and quality of light is the first element that dictates those moods.”
Lighting Designer Marcia Zia-Priven

Change your mood by changing the lighting in your home.

Lighting a Room with Lamps The Right Way

I first must make a confession when it comes to lamps. I have them in every room in my house, with the exception of the bathroom and workout room (even though I am not opposed to having them in the bathrooms). I love the mood lamp lighting creates, on top of the fact that they can make quite a statement to any room.


Underneath Cabinets

This lamp is perfect for creating a nightlight in your kitchen by placing it underneath the cabinets.  It will also look fabulous lighting hallways or even in bathrooms because of it's petite height. One of my favorite lamps at Pink Door Decor.










Adding style to your desk will create punch.  This compact task lamp is adjustable at the arm and head, making reading at your desk easy. It works better as a desk reading lamp than a corner reading lamp in your bedroom because of it's height. The vintage silver finish compliments the style on this lamp.


Table lamps and floor lamps are a key source to lighting a room. Selecting lamps versus picking out overhead lighting (track, canned, chandeliers) is an easy option for everyone, however there are many things to consider before purchasing. For example, will the light shine directly in your eyes while you are sitting next to the lamp. Will the shade color create the brightness and color you desire in the room? Make sure if you decide to only use lamps in your room, all sides of the room are lit. Lamps are enhancements to overhead lighting.  Too many lamps take away from the coziness of using only a few lamps.

The Conversation Piece

                                

OK, this is the big reason why I love lamps. They can be a piece of art and interesting fixture on a table or shelf. They will surely create a conversation from your guest as well as an added light source to a dark corner or room.
Share with us how you use lamps.  Do they make a statement or just serve as a lighting source?

Industrial Chic In Traditional Spaces


Let's face it, industrial style decor is here to stay, at least for a while. That's a good thing if you have gone all out and decorated your place this way.  One of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta has beautiful industrialized decor.  You gotta check out this place if you live here or passing through.  Not only for the food, but also for the decor.  I digressed there for a moment thinking about my last meal at the restaurant.

Getting back to decor, if you are looking for a few great pieces to add to your industrial chic collection or just getting started decorating in this style, periodically go to www.pinkdoordecor.com and window shop.  New pieces are added weekly.




Table? Yes Indeed

This Vintage Steel Shoe Locker makes for an excellent side table or night-stand. It is very functional and provides storage space. As a matter of fact, I can think of several places this locker would look great: Office, Teen Space, Powder Room, keeping in mind style.



This wine rack is a talking piece.  It has style and fits quite well in an industrial space and even in a space where you are blending styles (an entire blog topic all on its own). 



Shabby, industrial chic is how I would describe these metal flower vases. They are by no means traditional, but would look fabulous holding a romantic boutique of flowers to soften a rather rustic loft, don't you think?


Don't Forget The Walls!


Hey, I just remembered that the Watershed has a very large Peace Sign hanging on their walls 
(yes, I am getting hungry).  This is a very cool looking piece of art. Of course, people will ask where you found your Peace Sign Wall Decor.  Tell them www.pinkdoordecor.com.

Operation Valentine "Put a Little Love In Your Heart"

We are proud to bring you this posting.  The month of February is all about giving at Pink Door Decor! This will be the second year running our Operation Valentine campaign.  Our goal during this campaign is to donate as much as possible to an organization who is taking a stand and confronting the unthinkable of childhood sexual abuse and exploitation.


10% of all sales of our USA made soy base candles will be donated to Wellspring Living, during the entire month of February!


I was brought to tears reading the facts about childhood sexual abuse and exploitation of young girls. Wellspring Living's purpose is to "confront the issue of childhood sexual abuse and exploitation through awareness, training and treatment programs for women and girls."

If you could, "Put a Little Love In Your Heart and purchase a candle or make a direct donation to Wellspring Living during this month of "Giving Love."

Office Space For Him

Creating an office space for a guy who has modern taste can be tricky.  You want wiggle room to add a  pop of color.  Here's an office space created by Posh Interiors, LLC for a client who loved the final look.  Many of the accessories are found at Pink Door Decor.

What is great about this board is the fact that it is neutral.  Think about it! You can add any pop of color to accessorize the bookshelf and bring this room alive.  As for the customer, he wanted dark furniture and chose the striped fabric over a blue linen fabric.  Since blue is one of his favorite colors, residential designer Terrell Dinkins will incorporate some shades of blue in this room. The blue will look fabulous with all of the silver tones and metal.

Striped Fabric Purchased Through Designer
