I've owned reptiles for at least 15 years now.  In the past, it was hard to find the correct lighting for any kind of reptile-you had to search for stores that carried the products, then pay an arm and a leg for the specialty item.  A lot of pet stores would have told you in the past to use aquarium lighting.  If you're a good reptile mommy or daddy, you know that these g...

Early this year on a particularly frigid day, the outdoor light that is located by our front entry door decided to blow.  At the time we had a very simple round white globe as the fixture, one that I'd always wanted to replace but as it was in perfect condition, we didn't see the need at the time.As my husband removed the globe to replace the light bulb, the entire globe simply sha...

This Portfolio Interior Ceiling Fixture, was purchased to replace some ugly factory installed fixtures in a mobile home. It's a nice looking fixture compact in size with a neat clean appearance. I comes with all the wire nuts and mounting hardware and screws you need to install it flawlessly, The fixture can use only one bulb up to sixty watts, which is fine for a small fixture like this in...

If you have a flourescent light fixture in your home, sooner or later you will find that it will quit working altogether one day.  That means your ballast has burned out and needs replaced.  (Note: If just one bulb has burned out, it is just that bulb, and not the ballast.)  When looking for a replacement at The Home Depot, I found this model made by General Electric.  It wa...

Maybe in your neighborhood there are nice lights on the street, but in the remote mountains where I live there aren't even sidewalks.  You are lucky to find a street sign.  I noticed this small street light at Home Depot and saw that they were having a Christmas sale on them for only $150.00.  I thought that was way better than those nasty bright industrial lights (like the o...

This light fixture is made to fit the Harbor Breeze Baja ceiling fan. It has the same aged bronze finish that the main parts of the ceiling fan does. Together they are beautiful. If you happen to purchase the ceiling fan, I would highly suggest purchasing this light fixture along with it. This fixture has 3 frosted opal light globes on it, each in the shape of an acorn. They each use a max...

We bought two of these outdoor wall fixtures for either side of our front door a couple of years ago and they have held up fairly well.  There is some very slight rust and wearing of the finish, but not enough to notice unless you get right up to it and really examine it.  These have to put up with all kinds of weather conditions as they are right out in the open.  They are on th...

We bought this Murray Feiss hanging light for above the island in our kitchen about three years ago.  I loved the style and size of the light.  It has a bronze finish and is about 36" long with three lights that take a regular bulb. The shades are frosted a light tan color.  It is about 21" tall.  It gives off a lot of light, we have 100 watt bulbs in the fixture a...

Once you pick a metal finish for a bathroom you sometimes end up wishing you hadn't, as finding all the pieces you need turns out expensive or just impossible.  In the "blue" bathroom I picked a brushed nickel, and I thought for sure I would be stuck somewhere along the line.  The shower fixture needed to be reliable ( I just hate faucets that you can't get to delive...

Price Pfister is a very well-known maker of plumbing parts.  I'm not a huge fan of brushed nickel finishes, but when these folks did it, they did it right.  Many of the cheaper versions tarnish or even rust, and mineral deposits ruin the finish quickly.  I don't know (and it's probably a secret) how they did it, but the brushed nickel finish on this faucet is bulletpr...

I bought this ceiling fan for our bedroom.  It is a beautiful fan and it cools pretty well.  It does have an airflow comfort rating of 3 out of 5. I bought this brand because they have been around for many years.  I also like this model because the fan blades are reversible.  On one side it is dark walnut color and the other side is medium oak. It is super quiet when it...

When we moved into our new house, the old brass kitchen chandelier had to go. While shopping for other things on http://www.disneyshopping.com/, we saw the Mickey Chandelier and knew it was perfect to go with our Disney decor.The Mickey Chandelier is a 5 arm hanging light fixture that has a black scrolled wrought iron looking finish. It takes 25 watt pointy medium base bulbs and came with the 5...

 My place is known for cane woods and its products. There are a number of products including flower vase, sofa sets, tables, decorative items, recliner, etc. made out of cane woods. Moreover, cane woods are extensively used for interior decorations and roofing of cars (occassionally). The sofa set in the picture is made out of cane, which was purchased about six months ago for 6400 Indian ...
