Natural light sources are an important element in bringing out the best in the color scheme. If light enters through side windows, a dark ceiling will make the room look gloomy. If the light comes in at an angle it is wise to paint the floor a pale color.
Here are ten household helpful hints for natural light sources:
1 Control the light using blinds and curtains, always adapting it to the needs of every moment.
2 Soften the contrast produced by window and the dark surrounding wall by focusing artificial light onto the latter.
3 Emphasize the beauty of an especially compelling piece of furniture by spotlighting it.
4 In work areas the specific lighting must be from the left for right-handed people and vice versa.
5 The direct light from a hanging lamp must always be below eye-level, otherwise it will blind us.
6 Use subtle general lighting so that the transition from a bright area to a dark one is not painful for the eyes.
7 Make sure that the light in a work area is compensated by the surrounding lighting so that you do not strain your eyes.
8 Use freestanding lamps and floor lamps in spaces where the furniture?s is frequently rearranged, these types of lamps offer adaptable solutions.
9 A highly reflective surface (the whiter the better) helps to multiply the light and to diffuse it all over the space.
10 In small rooms pale-colored walls give acceptable lighting. A darker ceiling breaks the monotony and provides contrast.
Bearing in mind all these factors, you should analyze the daylight in your house throughout the day and then plan the artificial lighting.

Are You Making a Sacrifice?
Are You Making a Sacrifice?
by: Debbie O'Meara
When I was a university student, an ice cream-loving friend of mine gave up ice cream for Lent. It became a joke among all of us as we watched him suffer through keeping his promise, and almost a party when we brought him three gallons of butter pecan just after midnight Easter morning! We often talk about Lent as a time of sacrifice. Of the sacrifice Christ made for us. And the sacrifices we should make.
The idea of ?sacrifice? isn?t a pretty one?it?s a painful one! But it implies temporary pain for future gain. In our study of creating greater abundance, what do we have to sacrifice? We have to give up our old ways of thinking. That?s not easy, even if those old ways are hurting us.
Old habits are comfortable. They?re familiar. We carry out the habit, we know what?s going to happen. And it may not even be pleasant, but it?s predictable. What happens if we break the habit? That?s the problem?we...
