So are down lights. I use them as much as I can through out my house. I also use tall solar outside lights and stick them in my inside potted plants they come on at night....they look way cool. You have to make sure that the solar lights get enough sun light coming through a window during the day. Great idea to put them on a timer. Thanks for the ideas.

Also they could dry the life right out of certain plants! Not trying to be a crepe hanger here just be aware of the issues too. I have seen some decorators actually put them in another container to act as another heat conduit say a metal tin can or something....just food for thought! I'm with you Kathysue, I think less is best!

Your ...OMG...people are so going to love this blog!<br />Your are addressing some very important issues, lighting being one of the most critical. It's amazing how many of us forget how the simplest of tricks can achieve such a wow factor in a space.<br />Just recently, I added 3 uplights behind my couch in my den to throw light up the front of the bookcases that line the wall behind it. I couldn't believe the impact they had. Even though I was thrilled with the effect, I was kicking myself over why I hadn't thought of it for years!!<br />You are a brilliant teacher...<br />Keep it coming!!!<br />Lots of Love,<br /><br />TerriLa Dolfinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10890526795159739411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-930716135850126632010-01-06T08:44:51.814-08:002010-01-06T08:44:51.814-08:00Jeanette,that is a very good idea, kind of like ou...Jeanette,that is a very good idea, kind of like outdoor lighting that is on timers.Great tip!I might have to include that somewhere, thanks, Hugs KathysueKathysuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11272239664279235716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-14205420857887941462010-01-06T08:35:47.816-08:002010-01-06T08:35:47.816-08:00I'm beginning to look forward to checking out ...I'm beginning to look forward to checking out your blog each day to see what you have up your sleeve. You have a big bag of design tricks and it is so fun that you are sharing them with all of us. Ahh, yes, the lighting is so important and you do it so well in your own home. Thanks for the pointers and the reminder about how wonderful those uplights look. I need to remember to turn mine on more often.
