Let There Be Light!

The other day Julie wrote to me, "Do yourself and all of us a favor and go get those portable lights so your design wall doesn't have that dark spot... you will be SO glad when fall comes and the summer light fades into wintery dullness."

Well, it took me a week, but I finally visited one of the big box hardware stores and after having a slightly testy conversation with an older sales guy ("Is this inside or out? Is this a dining room?" This after I said I wanted a work light to illuminate a wall six feet wide by about eight feet tall from a distance of between 10 and 12 feet), he suggested this small light. "The other ones will work, but they will also generate an awful lot of heat."

It was only $20, and he said it ought to work just fine. "If it doesn't just bring it back."

So this is the "Before" photo, in normal daylight on a slightly overcast day.

And this is "After" with the new light.

Yeah.

Once again, this is BEFORE.

And this is AFTER.

Sometimes the solution is a lot easier than you think.
