I'm sorry my Cure posts this week have been a little off schedule. <a href="http://giveaways.apartmenttherapy.com/2009/holiday">Apartment Therapy's 2009 Holiday Giveaway</a> launched today, and we were working really hard on it yesterday to get it all set and ready to go. (We're so excited about all the awesome gifts and think you will be, too!) But back to the Green Cure: how has your week been going? You've probably been making your way through your bathroom, but we also want you to focus on <i>lighting</i> in the rest of your apartment. Good light can transform a space, no matter how small. A well lit room should have at least three unique points of light that vary from bright, concentrated light to soft, ambient light. We advocate using energy-efficient light bulbs, of course, like LEDs and CFLs, but many people have trouble finding one that gives off a pleasing glow, much like an incandescent. Well, we have some recommendations for you!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.re-nest.com/re-nest/the-green-cure/the-green-cure-greening-the-bathroom-and-lighting-the-home-week-6-show-tell-102073">Read Full Post</a> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/OXty5ES3lK8-x-XgElisdxcWyyk/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/OXty5ES3lK8-x-XgElisdxcWyyk/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/OXty5ES3lK8-x-XgElisdxcWyyk/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/OXty5ES3lK8-x-XgElisdxcWyyk/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/apartmenttherapy/re-nest/~4/au56S7KKLps" height="1" width="1"/> Cambria Boldno@email.com http://www.re-nest.com/re-nest/the-green-cure/the-green-cure-greening-the-bathroom-and-lighting-the-home-week-6-show-tell-102073 <![CDATA[How To: Make Your Fireplace More Efficient Mother Earth News]]> http://www.re-nest.com/re-nest/how-to-make-your-fireplace-more-efficient-mother-earth-news-101960 2009-11-19T11:32:20+00:00
