She recently moved a few doors down to a new space which I have not seen yet. She came over to tell me that it is freaking her out a little because it is soooooo big and the ceilings are soooooo high. In fact, she says that there is so much room that I could put an office in there and she wouldn’t even notice me. I am whizzing down there tomorrow to check it out and to see what ideas we can come up with to make it more user friendly. We were talking about how selecting the right lighting is extremely important when you have high ceilings – and especially important when your business is photography. I am preparing for my visit by spending extra time looking at photos of interiors – and I can’t seem to stop.

When I do buy two of anything, I tend to make sure they don’t end up in the same room (unless we are are talking about something like pillows or shoes). I am starting to think that maybe some of my lamps need to come together and enjoy each other’s company for a while. Adding balance to my rooms might just add some balance to my life. I doubt it is that easy, but I am willing to give it a try.
