CSN Stores Review Teaser. The Importance of Lighting

I happily received an e-mail the other day from a kind rep at CSN stores offering me the chance to do a review of a product from one of their 200+ stores! Being an interior decorator, and A.L.A. (American Lighting Association) expert, I immediately thought to look for lights.

Lighting is really important, especially in gloomy Vancouver where we get very little sunlight throughout the year. I like to have portable lighting that I can move through different rooms and take with me when I move. This is important for apartment-dwellers like me.

While it is preferable to use natural lighting to illuminate a space, environmentally, this isn't always practical  in every situation. CSNlighting.com has a 'go green' tab on their store page so that you can take a look at energy-star rated lights for every room. I definitely recommend using fluorescent or other energy-efficient lighting (fixtures or bulbs) when possible, while also keeping in mind the different types of lighting you might need: task, general and ambient lighting.

Here are a few of the lamps I selected to show you the wide range of styles and prices within this 'go green' category:

Gamma Delta

Robert Abbey

Cherry Tree Designs

B. Lux

I haven't quite decided what item from the many CSN stores I would like to review, yet - there are too many great things to choose from!

Blog Brew Review

I have been reviewed on Blog Brew today! I would say that it is a generally favourable review. The only thing I don't agree with is my commenting. Other than comments for the giveaways, I feel as though I am generally on-top of my comments. I hit reply and don't email, because that way everyone can see my comment. I don't know if people subscribe to replies, though? If not, maybe people don't come back to see that I have responded. With Intense Debate commenting I can reply to specific comments easily and people can subscribe to just the replies to their comment, which I really love!

Anyway, I hope that no one feels as though I am neglecting them! When I see someone has come over from Blog Frog, I like to visit their blog to see what they are up to. I like to visit other people's blogs, too, when I see that they've commented. I hope that more people will leave their blog addresses with current post in the form! I guess maybe I am just sensitive about the comment thing, but that's because I feel sad when people respond to (it seems) everyone else's comments but not mine. Sometimes I end up not bothering to leave more after that. I just hope no one feels that way about my blog. Oh, I will go check comments now (on non-giveaway posts) just to check!

Thank you AJ for my review! You can check out Simple Sweet Inspiration for more from her.
