Last month, I attended a seminar about interior designing and landscaping with my friends. The curator was so great. She could make a simple looking room look cozy or even elegant. With just a change in the paint or the furniture and fixture in your bedroom, it will make it look brand new or it would seem like you have been in that room. She also said during her lecture that the home lighting greatly affects the energy in the house. That is why after hearing her 3 days seminar, me and my friends have decided to redecorate our home especially the lighting.

I have spent a week looking for the most suitable light fixtures for our home. I went to the shops the speaker had mention in her lecture. And true to her words, the lighting fixture were very nice. I bought some bathroom light fixtures for the 3 bathrooms in our house. Those lights made our bathrooms have the essence of being in a bedroom. I also purchased some kitchen light fixture, the speaker said the better the lighting in the kitchen and in the dining room the more energy it will generate. And lastly, for our living room. I got some very nice chandeliers. They did complement and change the image of entire house.

Some people think that if they reach the age of 55 or older, they have no sense at all.  Others says it was just the beginning of life.  As for my aunt who had just filed her retirement, it is the time that she will enjoy her life to the fullest.  She had rendered service to the company she worked for forty long years and her time to finally retire has come.

I visit her at her house the other day and I found out that she was very much happy with her life now.  She told me that while she was working, she manage to get a house in one of the best retirement towns.  The place offer numerous amenities, modern recreational facilities and activity centers, breathtaking surroundings and livable home designs that make active adult communities a great place to live and relax.

A few weeks ago, i visited our friend Cindy, who is finishing up the renovation the style of their house.  I noticed that the style of the house looks like for a summer.  And I found it striking, how some houses really do seem to have season.  The first house that they own was a tiny two-story, that was in its best during winter, when the sunlight streamed in the floor-to-ceiling windows.  And in the shade of summer the same house felt dark and confined, with just one narrow door to an unimproved backyard.  later, they find another house and lived in the perfect autumn house, with a deck overlooking woods that supplied brilliant color all season long.

But a house that lives large in summer may be the most desirable of all, because that’s when our days are longest and often -most leisurely.  Some of our best conversations with other friends have taken place around the patio table, with a pitcher of iced tea and our kids playing in the yard - or more recently, popped home for a visit.  That’s the great thing about summer:  You don’t need to go too far to feel refreshed and connected.
