You can see how beautiful the natural light looks in the living room, where all of the colors are bright, true, and not yellowed at all. So I wanted to turn on the lights in those areas so they would show up nicely where they were included in those angles. That means that on cloudy days, those rooms can still look pretty dark. Our hallway has absolutely no direct natural light, and the kitchen gets indirect natural light through the breakfast room windows. I hope you’ll consider joining me on my actual blog by clicking here.)īut there were a couple of angles I wanted to photograph that included rooms that didn’t get as much (or any) natural light, like the kitchen and the hallway. (Note: If you’re reading this post on any website other than Addicted 2 Decorating, that means you’re reading on a site that is stealing my blog content. It was diffused light because of the cloudy weather, but it was still so pretty, so I took all of those pictures using only natural light. And while it has been rainy and cloudy here lately, the living room was still filled with beautiful natural light. I took those pictures in the mid-morning (probably around 10:00am) on Wednesday. The whole lighting issue really got to me the other day when I was trying to take pictures of the finished living room. At night when the lights were turned on, it looked dull and way too orange. During the day with just natural light - even the relatively little natural light the music room gets compared to the living room - it was a beautiful, vibrant color. It really became noticeable when I got the new settee in the music room.
As a person who absolutely loves color, I’d notice when I turned on a light, especially at night, all of my beautiful colors in my home would look dull, lifeless, and yellow. Her paid promotion clearly worked on me, because I’ve been replacing old bulbs that go out with GE Reveal ever since.īut I’ve never been thrilled with them. I’ll admit that I chose Reveal bulbs because I was swayed by another blogger who was paid to use and promote that product and convince her readers how wonderful they are. Over the last five years, any time I needed new light bulbs, I’d purchase GE Reveal bulbs, which are LED bulbs rated at 2850K. Did we really have to go muck it up even more with the additional stress of making all of these light bulb decisions? 😀 Halogen? Fluorescent? LED? How bright do you need it? 60 watt equivalent? 150 watt equivalent? And what color temperature do you want? 2500K? 2700K? 5000K? Y’all, life is complicated enough. They were pretty much all 2700K (did we even know about that color temperature scale back then?), so the only real decision we had to make was how bright we wanted the bulb to be. We could pick up light bulbs at the grocery store, the home improvement store, the corner convenience store.
Remember the days when we all used incandescent light bulbs in everything? Things were so easy then.
