Light next to or near the bed usually has a task function of illumination while reading in bed. These may do that but they seem disproportionate to the bed in the 2nd and 3rd picture. Perhaps is it the symmetry issue as was already said. I like my lightig to flank the bed ~ like a frame of sorts....Paula Grace Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13896143816460472747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296235624601130259.post-22115453676608675552009-07-16T20:49:36.390-05:002009-07-16T20:49:36.390-05:00I must say I quite appreciate the third installati...I must say I quite appreciate the third installation featured, I like the fact that it threw a bit of spontaneity into an otherwise somewhat predictable layout. In spite of a former comment, I found it rather organic as the placement was a bit off centered and I really like the fact that the fixture is directional, not sure the direct overhead lighting in the first two photos would be all that flattering, it is not typically great in a bathroom so I would not imagine it to be any kinder in bed....and I really want flattering lighting while in bed;) Again, I really liked the third installation, thanks for the post!DOXA Homehttp://doxahome.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296235624601130259.post-36546639760020776752009-07-16T20:34:27.873-05:002009-07-16T20:34:27.873-05:00I'm in love with the first picture.I'm in love with the first picture.Yansyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04976602859032253160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296235624601130259.post-10580266814419025792009-07-16T20:20:50.819-05:002009-07-16T20:20:50.819-05:00Not feeling it.
