The anchor pieces would have to be the Belino 4 Door Chest and the Ocean Blue Laela Accent Chair - both of these pieces speak to a traditional value but are done with contemporary tones. The pop of gold in the artwork is accented by the Highline Chandelier and the Bookends, and is complimented by the touches of gold on the table lamp and end table. There is a theme of Gloss White introduced in the shades of the chandelier, the body of the lamp and the end table creating a true loop of design within the space.<br />
<br />
We love the subtle pattern in the area rug and how it is played upon by the door pattern of the Chest, the variety of blues in the color palette provide a restful and relaxing mix in this harmonious collection of elements. This mix of product would be lovely in a Master Sitting Area, Home Office or Living Room.<br />

<br />Lighting Etc.http://www.blogger.com/profile/02153247189142418996noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362356552046406706.post-56023694979348880602017-01-04T16:11:00.001-06:002017-01-04T16:43:48.399-06:00Loving The Light - January 4, 2017It's the beginning of the New Year....... and as with many folks, I've been thinking about the things that I want to do differently this year......... One of those things is this blog........<br />
<br />
Blogging has been something that I've wanted to do for our business, but it's been one of the places that I've struggled the most...... First - I don't know anything about blogging! LOL! Yes, I read many blogs..... but they are all different...... which is a good thing, because if they were all the same there would be no reason for them! That being said, as a novice, it can be an overwhelming task to try and create "The Perfect Blog" for our business.......<br />
<br />
In the past it's always been about a specific thing...... Chandeliers, Dimmers, Bulbs, etc. The truth is that there is only so much a person can say about those "specific" things...... and then you hit a mental block......<br />
<br />
So - from here on out I will be writing about what I Love...... what <u>WE </u>Love....... and it will always be different! I'm so very EXCITED!!!! I Prayed this very morning...... "God, please show me how to do this blog." and He did! Thus...... "Loving The Light" is now going to be one of our topics! Each time something that I love, or something that we love as a company, happens or is realized I will be blogging about it! Now..... I'm not sure what "proper blogging etiquette" is..... but our blog will have a variety of posts....... "Decor Brought To Light" will be where all those posts land..... but each title will provide the associated topic...... Again, not sure if that's how it's supposed to work or not - but that's how we are going to do it :)<br />
<br />
So..... <br />
When God answered my Prayer this morning with regards to the "Loving The Light" concept - I knew that this very first post had to reflect the things that I love most about Lighting Etc.!<br />
<br />

As 2017 commences, we begin a new monthly post titled Delightful Design - our goal being to bring together some of our favorite curated products into a specific design - all of which is available here at Lighting Etc.!<br />
<br />
This month we decided to feature products that have a traditional flair with a contemporary twist.... <br />

The combination of mixed metals, and the touch of dramatic accent colors play wonderfully together allowing a classic and timeless design with a fashion forward statement.<br />
<br />
We drew from our love of the traditional in the area rug, and then pulled the light blue accent out with the use of the table lamp. The side chair grounds the design with it's deep grey fabric which is also drawn from the rug. The side has a base of twigs which provides the texture needed to balance the design and plays beautifully with the pendant! The mirror provides a reflective reprieve and will allow the light to bounce in the space.<br />
<br />
The bookends are the perfect finishing touch to this lovely design.<br />
<br />

utilized in a myriad of ways to not only brighten a dark space, but to bring a
sense of style and décor to what might otherwise be a blank wall……. Here at Lighting Etc. we like to think of the
lighting as the “Jewelry of the Home” and if that is true then sconces would
definitely be considered the “Earrings” of the ensemble. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

and vibrant light source, sconce lighting sets the mood like no other lighting
fixture. When hung on the wall of your hallway, above your fireplace or in the
bathroom, sconce fixtures offer more than beautiful light. They support the
ambiance that is uniquely yours; the one you’ve worked so hard to create.”<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

Wall sconces add the
perfect balance between form and function allowing layers of light to be
achieved by adding a light source to a variety of areas within a design. They add your personal touch to a space and
help make if feel like home.<o:p></o:p><br />

great source indirect lighting.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Think

</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Remember the soft glowing sconces along the wall ……</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">One of the best moments of that movie were
when the harsh lights overhead went off and the wall sconces were dimmed down
so low that you could barely see them……</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">and then the movie began!</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">It’s no
wonder that we love to utilize wall sconces in our media rooms!</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">That touch of nostalgia never gets old, it

Truth be told – we are still in the infancy of LED with
regards to residential lighting applications.
The technology keeps surpassing previous abilities and revolutionizing
what it can and can’t do and how it does it.
Also – the cost of LED products will continue to come down due to Supply
& Demand. The technology has been
achieved, the discovery has been made, now the products will continue to appear
and the price point will begin to get competitive allowing all of us the
ability to afford these solutions in our homes.
The key to successfully utilizing LED in your home is to buy a good
quality product that has a manufacturer that will stand behind it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lighting Etc. has been very careful about jumping into LED
product…… We have seen a variety of
bulbs and fixtures coming into the marketplace during the past 10 years, but it
is just recently that we have been happy and comfortable enough to bring these
products into our Showroom to offer to our clients. Why did it take us so long? Because we want to bring products to our
homeowners that we KNOW will stand the test of time! We want them to be Dimmable, have Consistent
and Correct color, and to be an Easy Solution for our homeowners. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The easiest place to begin the transition to LED in your
home is to change out your light bulbs – The LED bulbs that are now available
look as close to regular light bulbs as we have ever seen!! Here are a few pictures taken from the
display fixtures here in the Lighting Etc. Showroom:<o:p></o:p></div>

Another place that the change to LED can be made in a pretty
cost effective manner is to utilize the retro-fit LED recess conversion kits
now available. Not only will you be
lighting your home in a more efficient manner, these fixtures really allow for
a cleaner more streamlined look in your design.
Not to mention the fact that they put off a brighter light and produce
no heat. The following pictures show
what the retrofit unit look like when turned on and turned off:</div>

Many of us have undercabinet lights in our kitchens and
offices. This is an additional place
where LED is truly beneficial in the abundance of light produced with little or
no heat! Remember those melted
chocolates…….. that won’t happen with
LED!!! <span style="font-family: "wingdings";">J</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
We are beginning to see more and more options with regards
to actual fixtures (Chandeliers, Sconces, Flush Mounts, etc.) that utilize LED
components so that there are no bulbs to deal with at all. As the LED market continues to evolve we will
continue to see new and innovative ways to utilize LED in our homes and
Lighting Etc. will be on the lookout for each and every option! <o:p></o:p></div>

Wanting me to "Blog" about the questions I ask our customers when they come into the showroom looking for a dining room chandelier. You see...... I tend to ask them ALOT of questions....... The main reason for all the questions is so that we can truly meet their needs - for proportion, function and design....</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">So today - we will address "Proportion"</span><br />
<div>
<br />
Let's begin:<br />
How high is your ceiling?<br />
What are the dimensions of your table?<br />
What shape is your table?<br />
Is it glass topped or wood topped?<br />
<br />
<u>How high is your ceiling</u>:<br />
The ceiling height truly sets the basics for the dimension the chandelier should be.... An industry standard that we utilize in our designs is that the bottom of the chandelier should be 5 feet off the floor over a table. Yes - off the floor..... Now this is just the first half of the equation - so stay with me here...... If your ceiling is 10 feet tall and we want the bottom of the light 5 feet off the floor - then that means we have 5 feet to fill....... We like to see proportion/balance between fixture and the chain used to hang it....... So in this case we would want a fixture that is at least 30" tall (minimum) and not to exceed 42" tall.<br />
Now the reality is that there are no "lighting police" (LOL! - although in some cases there should be) - so if you want to hang your dining fixture a little higher.... by all means - it is your home and you should do what you want to create a pleasing design that you can enjoy each day, but we have to have a "standard" with which to begin the process :)<br />
<br />
<u>What are the dimensions of your table</u>:</div>
<div>
The second half of the equation now begins...... With the dimensions of the dining room table we can answer our question for what the width of the chandelier should be........ Again - an industry standard that we use is what I lovingly call "Lean In Room"....... I want to be able to "lean in" across a table and not bang my head on the chandelier (granted I'm 6 feet tall... LOL). What this tells us is that we want 8-10 inches of "lean in" room on each side of the table...... So - if your table is 50" in diameter - your chandelier should be around 34" wide....... </div>
<div>
<br />
<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u>What shape is your table</u>:</div>
<div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
This has become one of the more important variables mainly because of the longer "harvest" tables that we have been seeing in design for the last couple of years. We want to be sure to compliment and enhance the dining room as a whole - so if we have a really long table with a small round chandelier hung in the center it can look unbalanced - not to mention the fact that we probably won't be providing adequate light, but that is another blog..... Needless to say - the shape of the table should be thought about when choosing the chandelier. Keep in mind..... This chandelier will hang over this table 365 days a year, so we want to address the "every day" shape NOT the shape when you put the "leafs" in it a couple of times a year.<br />

<u>Is it glass topped or wood topped</u>:<br />
One of the last questions that I ask for "proportional" info is whether your table is glass topped or wood topped. If you have a wood topped table we need to balance the visual weight of that table - meaning - the frame structure of the light can be fuller and heavier to balance out the wood below it. Same is true for a glass topped table, because the glass is transparent the light fixture can have a finer frame and simpler structure so as not to be too heavy looking.<br />
This being said - please keep in mind that "design" is personal. It is your home and you can have whatever makes you happy. <br />

These are just a few of the questions that allow us to "see" a customer's space without really seeing it. They help us to help our customers :) Hopefully, they will help you as well. :)<br />
<br />
Next time we will share the questions we ask to meet the "Design" needs of our customers!! :)<br />
<br />
Until then.....<br />
Thanks so much for the "read" - Have a Blessed day! And we will Light It Up again soon!!<br />

The end result of Love At First SightOne of the coolest things about what we do is that in many cases we can follow a design from paper to fruition...... We begin the lighting process with a set of blueprints - follow it to ground breaking - then on through to the installation of the lighting fixtures. <br />
<br />
But the very best part is when we are asked back to see the end result of a project!! It is something that we truly look forward to and enjoy :)<br />
<br />
We are Blessed to watch our customer's faces light up when they find the perfect fixture for their space!! Sometimes they see it on display in the Lighting Etc. Showroom - or they find it flipping thru one of our catalogs - they might even come across it while surfing the <a href="http://light-etc.xolights.com/" target="_blank">Lighting Etc. website</a>......<br />
<br />
Whichever way they discover their perfect piece...... The end result is what matters :)<br />
Each client's dream begins with Love at First Sight........<br />

Summer is over, and Fall is here!! :)<br />
<br />
Did you realize that more people will walk through your front door between October & January than any other time of the year........ <br />
<br />
Whether it be friends gathering to watch a football game, trick or treaters ringing you door bell or family coming over for the Holidays - everyone will be coming thru your front door :)<br />
<br />
So........ That being said......... How's your entry looking?????<br />
<br />
With this thought in mind I decided to put together a sampling of some of my favorite "Entry's". They are varied and include contemporary, traditional & transitional. Each of these spaces is perfect for the homeowners who chose the fixture and design.<br />

Double entry fixtures have become one of my favorite trends!! So many of the homes being built have long entry's that are open to the dining and lead to the family room - by hanging two fixtures you brighten and showoff that length - actually leading your guests into your home. This entry has a 12 foot domed ceiling with wonderful detailing - and the Revolution <a href="http://light-etc.xologicstore.com/brand-lighting-etc-items/6lt-cage/sku-V3247-rev-cg7465cb?ut=S&browseType=ItemBrowseAction&callingPage=ItemBrowseAction" target="_blank">Alder Cage</a> allows that light to transition up to the dome.<br />

Another example of a double entry is done on a 10 foot ceiling - these <a href="http://light-etc.com/lighting-fixtures?itemNumVal=6921-3-86" target="_blank">Mercury Glass Pendants</a> by Quorum International create a wonderful interest on the ceiling and beg your eye to look up and see their beauty.<br />

This beautiful entry is made even prettier with the addition of crown molding and the smallest Revolution <a href="http://light-etc.xologicstore.com/brand-lighting-etc-items/4lt-entry-cage/sku-V3247-rev-cg7464vb?ut=S&browseType=ItemBrowseAction&callingPage=ItemBrowseAction" target="_blank">Alder Cage</a>.

<br />
This entry is a wonderful example of a blending of designs!! The front door features beautiful wrought iron details which are mirrored with the frame work of the <a href="http://light-etc.com/brand-golden/9-light-chandelier/sku-V36-1030-9-ch" target="_blank">Chrome Chandelier</a> by Golden Lighting!! The mix of finishes works due to the complimentary shapes within both components!! YES!! You CAN mix transitional and traditional!! ;)<br />

<br />
<br />
Even a shorter ceiling can be shown off with the addition of crown molding, paint and a decorative lighting fixture!! This entry is a great example of a 9 foot ceiling being "elevated" to new design levels!!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Whichever style or design you decide to go with - keep in mind a few of these thoughts:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. Ease of maintenance is key on an entry! The cages that we featured are extremely easy to keep clean!! A "Swiffer" on a broomstick and you are good to go :)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. If choosing a chandelier or pendant with glass - try to select something other than "clear" glass. The fixtures featuring glass that we have shown have either Alabaster, Mercury or Scavo glass which won't show dirt and make maintenance a breeze.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. Be true to "your" home!! The entry is the first opportunity that your home has to say "Hello" to your guests!! Let it reflect who you are and what you love. :)</div>
<br />
As always.....<br />
Thanks so much for the "read" - Have a Blessed day! And we will Light It Up again soon!!<br />
Be Blessed!!<br />

As homeowners we have regular maintenance that needs to be done on various things around our homes. Whether it be seasonally, annually or just when it quits working :)</div>
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcSBlYztbeKP8a-_YELpyPkjK6UVAZfXZGotFyVSX6L9NuhZjgOoNBUoyT1Dee-GWk81Dj4Uj3dj1AUUCFgnGaFliAsyUhdSgKxl9biyputuqnV5HlzWPC0MXHnzbdTtCFIhUWCpj7eg/s1600/Design+Maintenance.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcSBlYztbeKP8a-_YELpyPkjK6UVAZfXZGotFyVSX6L9NuhZjgOoNBUoyT1Dee-GWk81Dj4Uj3dj1AUUCFgnGaFliAsyUhdSgKxl9biyputuqnV5HlzWPC0MXHnzbdTtCFIhUWCpj7eg/s1600/Design+Maintenance.JPG" height="195" width="200" /></a>Of course maintenance on the roof, air conditioner, furnace and water heater are vital since all of these things have to be kept in working order so that our homes are comfortable and functional..... But what about design maintenance? <br />
Coming home to an aesthetically pleasing space can improve our daily outlook. Waking up, living and sleeping in beautiful surroundings can bring a sense of peace and joy into our lives.<br />
<br />
Design maintenance can be as simple as a fresh coat of paint or an update of hardware or lighting fixtures. Many times one change can transform an entire space. This seems to be extremely true with regards to traditional design. Many traditional designs have the bones of classic furniture already in place and when you update one or two things in the picture the entire space begins to take on a "current" look.<br />
<br />
We were Blessed by one of our recent customers who provided us with "Before & After" pictures of their home. There was only one element change in each space, but that one change made all the difference!! Check it out:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
The Entry</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This space is completely transformed with the introduction of a bronze fixture. Even though the new fixture is actually smaller than the original - the bronze finish is perceived by the eye and the size allows the window above the door to be a standout element.</div>

The Breakfast Nook</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In this space the new bronze fixture is quite a bit larger than the original brass one and the new chandelier faces up instead of down which tends to add a bit more elegance to the design. The bronze finish compliments additional design elements in the space such as the wall art and curtains. It truly updates the design.</div>

<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the formal dining the homeowners have a beautiful suite of traditional furniture in the space. The new bronze and crystal chandelier adds an air of formality and elegance that the original brass one just could not achieve. The finish on the new chandelier compliments the wood tones of the furniture and the size shows off the ceiling height as well as the crown molding.</div>

Funny, but people really do say both in the same breath!! :)<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Back in the day, (we won't say what day because I don't want to give away my age)....... the average homeowner only dealt with a couple of design choices and basically they were:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Traditional or Contemporary</div>
<div>
Brass or Chrome</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With the availability of information and options from both the internet and design TV - the average homeowner now has the ability to develop their sense of design at a much deeper level:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Contemporary</div>
<div>
Eclectic</div>
<div>
Minimalist</div>
<div>
Old World</div>
<div>
Retro</div>
<div>
Rustic</div>
<div>
Shabby Chic</div>
<div>
Traditional</div>
<div>
and Transitional - just to name a few........</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And lighting is right there, every step of the way, to allow you the design elements of your dreams! Today we are Blessed with a plethora of choices and those choices can be mixed to create a unique composition for each and every home.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The hard part for many people is being able to envision from showroom display or artwork, to actual placement in their home........ This is where you have to "trust" your professionals :)<br />
<br />
A prime example is the Veil series by ET2. At first glance it may seem as if it can only be used in a contemporary setting. It is a very current design - transitional and clean. When viewed in a catalog or online it can be hard to think that it may have a broader range of applications....... </div>

<br />
This is where you have to trust what you like!! :)<br />
<br />
This fixture added the perfect amount of fun and whimsy that this beautiful kitchen needed!! It allowed the homeowner to truly put her personal stamp on the space!! Exactly what she wanted!!<br />

Another example of current design in a traditional setting is the Carabel series by Fredrick Ramond:<br />

It can sometimes be hard to imagine introducing a "current" design into a space with traditional bones. This is where "Loving the Mix" can truly be inspiring!! Embracing the layers of color, form and texture can truly bring a space to life!! But you have to see beyond the "cataloged" picture.</div>

<br />
<br />
Last but not least is one of the current favorites of many in the lighting world. The Orb!!<br />
This particular orbital chandelier adds the elegance of crystal in a traditional draping inside the frame - allowing the fixture the ability to play a whimsical role in a traditional setting.<br />

Not only is the style of the fixture a step away from the "norm" for this space but the "Winter Gold" finish allows the light to truly shine in the space!! By having this lighter color above the dark wood of the dining table the space truly opens up with the light!! <br />

<br />
These are just a few examples of mixing various design styles, elements and finishes. I guess what I hope you will take from this post is that YOU need to love YOUR space - because at the end of the day...... You live there :) Don't be afraid to take a chance - Don't be afraid to try something different.<br />
This is why there are soooooo many choices :)<br />

Thanks so much for the "read" - Have a Blessed Day! And we will Light It Up again soon!!<br />

<br />
In most cases the "flinging" refers to the lightening up of items in our homes...... it is a time to clean house, maybe update and freshen things up. It is also a new opportunity to help someone else in the process.<br />
<br />
Many times, we have clients in the <a href="http://www.light-etc.com/" target="_blank">Lighting Etc.</a> showroom who are in the process of a remodel - so what exactly does that entail???? You may be updating your cabinets, appliances, hardware, lighting, etc. Our homes are a reflection of who we are, and that reflection can change over the years.... Also, if you have recently bought a pre-existing home, you may have fallen in love with the property itself and the construction of space, but it may not reflect your taste in the finishes and design elements used. <br />
<br />
It is often that the items that we are replacing are still functional, but may just not be the design that we wish to have for our homes. Those functional elements can be a Blessing to someone else!!<br />
<br />
A few years back we developed a relationship with <a href="http://www.habitat.org/" target="_blank">Habitat For Humanity</a> through their "<a href="http://www.habitat.org/restores" target="_blank">ReStores</a>". What exactly is a "<a href="http://www.habitat.org/restores" target="_blank">ReStore</a>"?<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif;">Habitat for Humanity ReStores are nonprofit home improvement stores and donation centers that sell new and gently used furniture, home accessories, building materials, and appliances to the public at a fraction of the retail price. Habitat for Humanity ReStores are proudly owned and operated by local Habitat for Humanity affiliates, and proceeds are used to build homes, community, and hope locally and around the world. </span></blockquote>
<a href="http://www.habitat.org/restores" target="_blank"><img alt="Habitat for Humanity ReStore" border="0" src="http://www.habitat.org/sites/default/files/pgbanner-restore.jpg" title="" /></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is a perfect opportunity to "give back" - if you are in the middle of a remodel or planning one in the future - allow yourself the opportunity to Bless someone else - Instead of putting those old items at the curb - or attempting to sell them on Craig's List - donate them to the Habitat For Humanity ReStore!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
Happy Spring Flinging everyone!!!<br />

Bronze, Silver or Gold...... <br />
<br />
Theses same three metals have been of great discussion for quite a while with regards to lighting selections as well.<br />
Let's take a moment and look at each finish before we decide where on the podium we will stand:<br />
<br />
<h2>
Bronze</h2>
A warm, rich color with many variations. Some bronze finishes are dark, with an "Oil Rubbed" quality that has hints of copper - while others have a warm sheen which can reflect a myriad of rich color tones..... There are dozens and dozens of varieties in the bronze finish, but all of them work well within a rich, warm color palette.<br />

Gold</h2>
This is not your Mother's brassy gold - this is the new era of Gold. It is a demure, elegant tone that can be done in either a matte or brushed finish. Although it can also have a sheened finish - it is rich and luxurious, and is often considered a faux with high and low tones.<br />

<br>
We are Blessed to be able to run our business the way we think it should be run. We are able to treat our customers the way we want to be treated. The "Golden Rule" is a real thing in our world.<br>

<br />
What an amazing Market we had!!!<br />
<br />
For those who don't know....... Twice a year, January and June - we go to the Dallas Market Center for the Lighting & Home Decor Market. This is where we preview and order the season's lighting and home decor items.<br />
<br />
For the past 3 or 4 years it has been challenging to say the least....... During the housing downturn the lighting manufacturers did not introduce many new items..... There were always a few pieces, but nothing that made my head spin.<br />
<br />
January 2014 was a WHOLE different story!!!<br />
We saw soooo many new fixtures and finishes!!! Design and Style was the focus this season!!!<br />
We bought, and bought and bought!!!<br />
<br />
All in all - we probably ordered between 300 and 400 new items for the Lighting Etc. Showroom :)<br />
( Yes! That's a "smiley" face )<br />
<br />
The showstopping HOMERUN, in my humble opinion, was the Quorum International Introduction!!<br />
<br />
The photos do not do justice to the beauty of these fixtures!!<br />

Quorum truly provided a complete range of design from contemporary to traditional with all the elegance needed to provide long term versatility.<br />
<br />
The Aged Silver finish was beautiful and was shown on two of the new introductions.<br />
<br />
The use of Mercury Glass with a Bronze finish achieved a new level of "Tradition".<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Another "Favorite" was the Maxim Lighting & ET2 Showroom!! We can always count on Maxim & ET2 to bring their "A" Game!! <br />
<br />
This year we found an incredible mix of form and flair on the Maxim side and a wonderful amount of Bling and Edge on the ET2 side!!<br />

I am sitting here today reflecting on this year of 2013........<br>
<br>
I have to start this blog with giving credit where credit is due...... And all of that Glory goes to God!!!<br>
We have been so very Blessed this year!! There truly is not enough time to put into words the wonders that God has done for us this past year!! That being said...... I'm going to attempt to share the "highlights" :)<br>

</tbody></table>
January is always a busy month here at Lighting Etc. - Not only is it the start of a new year, but it is the month of Market. The month that we go to the World Trade Center and walk hundreds of showrooms to find the new and beautiful treasures that we will sell for the next 12 months...... January 2013 had one additional element, and that was the addition of my Niece, Jennifer, to the Lighting Etc. staff. Jennifer was an answer to Prayer! We had certain administrative needs that had to be addressed and Jennifer was the solution to those needs!! A true Blessing was realized when brother and sister joined together to establish the future of this 3rd generation company.<br>
<br>
April 2013 marked the one year anniversary of our "Technology Endeavor" - Yes! One year since we had begun to use the Ipads in the showroom!! What a Blessing that turned out to be!! LOL!! And to think...... I didn't want to "waste" money on them!! Forrest had a vision for the future (And Praise God that he didn't listen to me :) - and the path to that future included a completely redesigned website as well as a foray into social media!! <a href="http://www.light-etc.com/">Lighting Etc.</a> can be found all over the place!! <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LightEtc">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/LightingEtc">Twitter</a>, <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/lightingetc/">Pinterest</a> & <a href="http://www.houzz.com/pro/lightingetcnrh/lighting-etc">Houzz</a> (just to name a few). The future is going to be exciting!!<br>

The summer months of 2013 were also full of Blessings!! The first came in the fact that our beloved "Big Robert" came back to work in June!! We are so very Thankful!! Robert has been part of the Lighting Etc. family for over 10 years, and his absence was felt far and wide in our business.<br>
July brought the addition of another family member - Tabitha answered our ad for a showroom sales position and moved here all the way from Minnesota!! Talk about a leap of Faith!! We Thank God for Blessing us with both of these people, as well as the rest of the wonderful staff here at Lighting Etc.<br>
<br>
Fall of 2013 proved to be one of our busiest season's in three years!! Builders built, Remodelers remodeled, Designers designed and Homeowners DIY'd!! We were Blessed with God' Grace!!<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
New deals were made with many manufacturers, new product was bought and inspiration was found. We brought in over 1,000 new pieces! We revamped the entire Lighting Etc. Showroom!!<br>
Softer finishes, cleaner lines and new designs brought excitement to the design table for 2013!<br>

As we close out this wonderful year that was 2013, we will always remember December 13th......<br>
The day that our PawPaw passed away. We are Blessed to know that God's Promises are true :)<br>
We will see him again!! <br>
<br>
As we look forward to 2014 and the keys to the future that it holds, we will continue to stand on Faith and His Word:<br>
<br>
Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying.<br>

<br />
This blog has been one of the items that I have "juggled".......... I regret that........ Today that changes........<br />
<br />
Our family business, Lighting Etc. was started by Bob and Norma Cooper over 35 years ago.......<br />
They have always been lovingly known as "Paw-Paw" and "Granny" - even our customers know them that way.<br />
<br />
Paw-Paw retired first..... about 15 years ago, Granny retired about 5 years ago.<br />
Although retired - they loved to stop by the showroom and see what we were doing :) What new product we had bought and how we were displaying it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDF4oixNF_fyV4YALTSLkjX9Co3DENyduBmZfi5BOgn9WZFM_sHEL3cOCSgK1dHFlrGi6Pgzx8T8gBEaQHwDSqHCqzppj3g9ALMnmc02NhVsATPLSz3AlrYoAFelraYVY5bwgncBEAkw/s1600/PawPaw.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDF4oixNF_fyV4YALTSLkjX9Co3DENyduBmZfi5BOgn9WZFM_sHEL3cOCSgK1dHFlrGi6Pgzx8T8gBEaQHwDSqHCqzppj3g9ALMnmc02NhVsATPLSz3AlrYoAFelraYVY5bwgncBEAkw/s1600/PawPaw.jpg" height="400" width="298" /></a></div>
<br />
Paw-Paw also loved the all the new technology that we were bringing into the business, such as our web-site and use of Ipads and all of the Social Media we had begun. He was the first subscriber to the blog.........<br />
He loved reading it every time I would publish one. He would tell me how great it was. I don't know if anyone else ever even read it, but I know he did. :) And he always told me to write more........ Beginning today - I will.<br />
<br />
Paw-Paw passed away this morning. And now, in honor of him I write this post.<br />
<br />
He was a man of few words, but when he said them they had immense meaning.<br />
He was a man of incredible character that shaped and molded this business.<br />
He was a man of strong love that will always be with each of us.<br />
<br />
Thank you Paw-Paw for always being you.<br />
<br />
Heaven is shining brighter today.<br />
Until next time (which will be soon)<br />
Peace and Blessings<br />

<br></div>
People are always asking me - "What style is this chandelier? Traditional or Transitional?"<br>
<br>
It seems to be a great concern for many people - but the reality is that today's design can handle both elements at the same time! :) <br>
<br>
Lighter wood cabinetry with cleaner lines can be mixed with darker distressed floors, and transitional lighting fixtures and finishes can be blended together in a home filled with traditional furnishings, creating a very current design.<br>

Don't be afraid to love more than one idea at a time!! I truly believe that today's homes are filled with many different designs - and labels are unnecessary. Do you like it? Is it special to you? Would you enjoy waking up each morning and seeing it in your home? If the answer is yes, then there is a way to work it into your design.<br>

We love a moment of surprise in the room - bringing in a bit of fun and whimsy can do wonders over the dining table you have had for the past 8 years.<br>
<br>
Think out of the box - look at different finishes, there are so many to choose from! The beauty of today's design world is that it doesn't all have to "match". <br>
<br>
That's why faux finishes are so wonderful. They play with different color tones and textures, and allow for a mix in the room.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
On the flip side of that coin....... If you prefer contemporary furnishings - don't be afraid to step out of your box and add a little "bling" to the space.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, that's right - Think about adding crystal to the mix!! Sure - there are tons of contemporary fixtures with very clean lines and stern structures, but that's almost too easy! When we say "step out of the box" we mean REALLY step out!!</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dim your lights!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's true!! By dimming the lights in your home you bring the layers of design to life and you create depth in the space.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Not only does it look better - but you also save money doing it!! That means you get to buy a new pair of shoes..... right??</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Seriously though.... Let's look at "Light Control" and the benefits of it:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the average home most light switches are simple on/off - this means that your fixtures are putting out the same amount of light whether it is day or night, whether it is needed or not... Through dimming, you can control the amount of the light, which in turn improves your space utilization.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Light control is the ability to regulate the level and quality of light, it enhances the experience in a space and it helps to save energy - which in turn saves you money.</span><br />

head in this season. The color exudes a sense of restoration. In fact it
combines the results of two wood staining techniques, pickling and white

restored feel. Its a way of recreating a look that was established with more of

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Seriously though......</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are three basic types of lighting that should be utilized in your home:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u>General Purpose Lighting</u> - provides overall illumination, allowing a comfortable level of brightness. This type of light is easily achieved through the use of recess cans and allows you to move safely through your home.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(ie: you can see the toys on the floor, as well as the shoes left by the couch). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u>Task Lighting</u> - provides direct illumination where you need it, this can be accomplished through undercabinet lighting, pendant lighting, track lighting, floor lamps or desk lamps.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u>Decorative or Accent Lighting</u> - adds drama to a room, makes a statement and ties the design together. This lighting can direct the eye where you want it to go. It is the "Jewelry of the Home".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dimmers can be applied to any and all of these lighting types - and then the layers truly come to life!!</span><br />

<div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">And so it begins......</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">We have a "Blog"....... Whoda a thunk......</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Let's start with a little background:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><u>Who We Are:</u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Lighting Etc. is a Faith Based, 3rd Generation Lighting Showroom - We have been in business since the early 1980's.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><u>What We Do:</u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">We meet all of your lighting needs and we help you decorate you home. Lighting Etc. believes in taking a unique approach. From your front door, to your back door, and every room in between, Lighting Etc. will fill your home with timeless elegance and bring your decor to light.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><u>Where We Do It:</u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">We are located at 6040 Rufe Snow Drive in North Richland Hills, Texas - We have been in Tarrant County Texas for over 30 Years and with God's continued Blessings, we don't plan on leaving anytime soon. Third generation is here in the showroom - learning the business and beginning the process of their reign. :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><u>Why We Do What We Do:</u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">What can I say - We are lighting geeks..... We love pretty, shiny, unique things.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Anything that lights up and doesn't look like a "me too" is something we love. We buy in limited quantites so that each piece can truly be considered "custom" - that being said..... we can usually get more - but we don't want everybody's houses to look the same.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Well - that's about it for the background.......</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">From here on out we will "blog" about different lighting ideas, fixtures, trends, designs, etc...., etc...., etc......</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Thanks so much for the "read" - have a Blessed Day and we will Light It Up again next week!!!</span></div>
