Clifton Table Lamp from William and Sonoma
By Nick Olsen, The Deal Hunter, Domino Magazine, on Mon Jul 21, 2008 9:16am PDTIn terms of overall style for the money Williams-Sonoma Home is probably my favorite chain, but their prices are always just a smidgem on the high side. That's why God invented sales, you say? Agreed. They're having one right now and I think this polished steel lamp looks mucho chic-o for... Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (0) | Blog

How to soften the light of CFL bulbs
By Domino Magazine, on Mon Jun 30, 2008 8:13am PDTIn a recent poll, 81% of Domino readers said they had made the switch to energy-saving light bulbs. Are you one of the remaining 19%?

Good news for CFLs, plus projects for old incandescents
By Valerie Rains, Shine staff, on Tue Jun 24, 2008 11:35am PDTOddly, although I was at Home Depot just this morning working on a video segment about lighting, I learned about the company's new CFL-recycling program from a post on Apartment Therapy that I spotted once I got back to the office (read: living room). (Also discovered today: Dimmer-friendly compact fluorescent bulbs from E3Living. Yay! Did everyone already know about this?) In any case, if CFLs are truly all they're cracked up to be, you're going to have to remember this information for a really, really long time, since the bulbs are touted to last approximately forever; still, it's good to know that you won't have to worry about the mercury issue quite as much since there's someone out there taking care to dispose of burned-out bulbs safely and properly. The recycling service is free, open to anyone at any HD location in the U.S., and available every day. (They don't handle broken bulbs, though; anyone know how to deal with that conundrum?)

While we're on the topic of recycling light bulbs, it makes sense to mention that there's also been a sudden spate of (incandescent) bulb-repurposing d.i.y. projects on the web lately. Take a look. (Photos after the jump.) Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (5) | Blog
