The Lakehouse That Lights Your Fire

I have this little lake house with some dreadfully cruel lighting. See, I’m approaching the age of 40, and despite the fact that fluorescents might have looked like a good thing at the time to the person who was designing this small house? They are a nightmare to quality taste healthy lighting to aging skin. They’re intrusive, noisy, and throw off a yellow-tinted bright light that makes me seem like Grandma Moses.

So when I was redoing the remainder of the house with paint, wallpaper, bead board, new tile, new vinyl, carpeting, home furniture, drapes, rugs, linens and toilet room stuff, I understood I had new nautical lights to look forward to. I made a decision to go with a nautical motif for understandable motives, and also as a result of the fact that it in actuality does appear nice. There are an immense amount of guidelines you can utilize, be it fish, tropical themes, boats, lighthouses, the coast, that I’ve gone in a few different ways, but it really all ties together.

When it comes to the lighting, I’ve been going a bit silly with my naval decor. After widespread World wide web research, I’ve discovered some sites even gift you with free shipping for all online transactions.

For my bedrooms, I ripped out some ugly old-fashioned hanging lamps and replaced them with free-standing lamps and lighthouse table lamps from Authentic Models for the dressers. Within the boys room, I went with the beach cabana table lamp and a plain black pole lamp, and created the whole room with a seashore theme, based all around the cool table lamp. With yellows and blues, the boys room feels like its in the open air, and often waiting to have to wipe sand off your feet when you go in or out. They like it, because I’ve hung up framed beach scenes and maps. They’ve loved their towels hanging from decorative hooks right in the entrance of their room, and any SpongeBob things fit right in.

For my master bedroom, I made a choice to go with an AM USA lighthouse nautical lamp. They have more subdued colors compared to what I chose within the boys’ room, which permitted me to play with bamboo, sand-colors and grays and blacks. Our bedroom is a little more subdued and in good taste than the boys, but still well-lit for reading or dressing, lacking the overhead unpleasantness that comprised the light in there before.

For the family room, all of us voted and came up with an antique silver tripod floor lamp, and two oil lamps for the end tables. The boys fancy the idea of the whole set of lamps, particularly the concept of filling the oil lamps before using them and the way they work. The decor allows a good fit with these options, the entire house tying into the nautical theme seamlessly. The lighting itself isn’t overhead, is more hushed because of the lower-wattage bulbs, and the oil lamps unquestionably lend a softer glow that is very complementary to both people and settings.

The chrome accents within the silver tripod lamp match well with the transition from main living room to kitchen, where all my chrome appliances and kitchen things appear to marry to the motif well. I have seashell accessories within the kitchen, with grass mat wallpaper and bright colored dishes and plates, and it all generally works.

I’m so pleased I decided to go with a nautical theme for my little place at the lake. It can go in numerous directions, and allowed me the flexibleness to get creative.
