Outdoor Lighting: Ambiance vs....
Anyone that enjoys entertaining outdoors knows that once the sun goes down, the light of the full moon isn't enough to sustain the party momentum. You need to have some sort of outdoor lighting so that everyone can see where they are going.
The goal of outdoor lighting is a gentle melding of form and function. You want something that provides adequate light that isn't too obtrusive but, at the same time, isn't a decorative nightmare. Electrical lighting tends to be at one extreme or the other.

Creating a Cozy Atmosphere: Dimmer...
I remember waking up in the middle of the night in pitch blackness and heading into the kitchen for a quick drink of water or pop from the fridge. I stepped into the room and turned on the light and was greeted with blinding light.

Green Outdoor Lighting
We all want to save a little money while still being festive while we prepare for the holiday season, but how does "green" or "organic" living fit into either of those categories? Sometimes it's hard in the throes of winter, to remember that greenery, though covered in snow, still survives. I like to pay a little homage to the shivering, icicle plants by dusting them with a little cheer, usually some strands or nets of lights to brighten up the night. It also has some value: the lights are small...[Read More]
Dutch ovens are large, heavy cooking pots with tight-fitting lids. Though they had already been in use for hundreds of years, the Dutch improved the molding process of the pots during the 1600s and...
