[L135]Lawn And Garden Lighting

by Thomas Fryd, Tho

Through clever innovation melded with traditional and classic designs, Kathy Ireland has built a vast, multi-billion dollar enterprise specializing in home interior and garden designs. Recent additions to her collection include a line of French garden lighting which includes chandeliers, sconces, buffet lamps and floor lamps.

Of this set, the 21-inch wide French Garden Ceiling Light Fixture has proved to be one of the most popular pieces. Its golden oak finish and twinkling shower of glass beads make it perfect for both modern and older homes.

Wrought of crystal and hand-worked metal, and adorned with beaded shades of gold, the French Garden Beaded Chandelier is another of the beautiful and elegant pieces from this set. The shades emit a vibrant golden glow when lit, while the beaded crystals dazzle with a rainbow of colors.

The Amber Raindrops Grand Chandelier is yet another charming chandelier from this set, featuring clear and unassuming beads next to amber and ruby-hued crystals.

Sconces are a classic lighting source that dates back even further than the chandelier, and can add a touch of stateliness and elegance to any room or hallway. The Kathy Ireland French Carriage Wall Lamp is the perfect example of this, casting a soft white glow around its vicinity which can easily be coordinated with the color patterns of any room.

Table lamps can prove to be a centerpiece of many rooms, and Kathy Ireland offers a wide variety of these as well, in a wide variety of styles and suitable room types. The Italian Lattice table lamp, with its sweeping curves and earthy tones offers a laidback and stylish flair to any room. If it's night table lamps you're looking for, the Garden Blossom Night Light Table Lamp may be just the thing, with its variable light settings, perfect for reading or just gentle illumination. Styled in the classic French vein, this faux alabaster glass lamp is connected to its square base through an intricate flower leaf support.

Floor lamps are ideal for lighting those darkened corners, and are perfect for rooms or areas where other light sources are too intrusive or inappropriate. Continuing with the French theme, the Kathy Ireland Collection features a European Country Garden Blossom floor lamp very similar to the aforementioned table lamps. These would look stunning in the same room together, but circumstances would probably dictate that they be placed in separate rooms. Do not forget to look outside to the wide selection of options.

This new French collection of lighting from Kathy Ireland is truly an illuminating experience, and one that any household, no matter the style can benefit from.

Anyone who knows me well knows that there is no place I would rather be at the end of a long day than out in my garden enjoying a cup of tea. In the cool fall and spring months, I prefer a cup of hot peppermint tea in my garden, and in the heat of summer I apt for a cup of iced lemon tea. There is something magical about being in my backyard garden that I just cannot get enough of. I have read more books, journaled more pages, and shared more great conversations with my family in our garden than almost anywhere else. The atmosphere of my garden was recently made even more magical when we strung garden lighting throughout the entire thing.

I have no idea why I hadn't thought of using great garden lighting before, but I was definitely open to the idea when my artistically driven teenage daughter suggested it as we sat on our back porch one night with tea cups. She thought that garden lighting might do something special for the mood of the garden and that it might make us want to spend even more time there.

Before I knew it we had sat our tea cups down and were headed to a local gardening store to see what kinds of garden lighting we could find. We were amazed when we took time to look through the store at how many garden lighting options we had. We choose a few strings of tiny Chinese laterns that we in bright teal and olive colors. We both loved them and knew that they would be the perfect garden lighting for our needs.

We rushed home and decided not to wait until morning to put the garden lighting up. Instead, we went immediately to our backyard garden and began stringing the lights from tree to tree to tree. After checking to see that all of the bulbs worked, we decided not to let ourselves turn the garden lighting on until we had it all up and hanging in place. I'm so glad we waited because when we finally turned on our new garden lighting it was amazing. The small and colorful Chinese laterns did a lot for the look and feel of our garden. The garden lighting only made it more inviting than it was before.

We gathered the rest of our family and brought them outside to see our work. They enjoyed the garden lighting as much as we did and within minutes we were making popcorn and had plans to enjoy the backyard garden together that evening. I love the way my garden lighting looks, but even more than that I love the way our garden has become a gathering place for the people I love most.
