curtains and light fixture
Nov. 27th, 2021 04:59 pmOn Wednesday, Cindy put up the new curtain panels, and we moved the brackets outward to make room.
The light fixture was finished and they called me to pick it up on Tuesday. I installed it today.
You can see the edge of the window frame on the right side. I wanted the curtains to be back far enough that they didn't block the view of the thermometer. And I didn't want them to block any of the view. So we had to extend the rod to make room for the curtain panels when they were all the way open. Now we have to move that picture to the right, to center it. :-)
The lamp looks nice, but it's going to take a while to get used to the color. It's very yellow. The glass is a little yellow, so I tried bluish light bulbs, but they made a greenish cast, which was worse. So warm light bulbs behind yellowish glass makes a very yellow light.
All the different colors in there are driving me crazy. The undercabinet lighting seems to have a slight reddish/magenta tinge. The bulb over the stove is a standard incandescent bulb, and the ones shining from the left in the first picture are probably the whitest, most neutral bulbs (the second picture is balanced toward yellow to compensate for the overhead light, to make the curtains look more natural).
