Installing lighting can be tricky. Too high or too low and the whole room will feel off. But like many things in design, getting it right comes down to numbers. I’m sharing my tips for hanging wall sconces and lights over a table and kitchen island.
This past week flew by in a complete blur or maybe it’s just that one day seems to blend into the other. If it weren’t for putting together the Tuesday 10 every week, I’m not sure I’d have a sense of the day or week. While I hope you enjoy my weekly collection of links from around the web, know that I do this for me, more than you! 😉
Sometimes the most beautiful things are those that are less than perfect. There’s probably a life lesson in that statement. But I’ll save that for another day. Today I’d like to focus on burl wood, which is just that kind of thing. The intriguing, kaleidoscopic swirls are actually due to a mutation that causes an outgrowth of a tree trunk after some form of stress. The resulting marble like effect is striking while adding a beautiful depth and sense of calm to a space. Burl wood is the perfect mix of rustic vibes and modern elegance and I can’t get enough. I’ve rounded up some of my favourite burl wood accents below.
