The first part of "Lighting Your Home Inside and Out" will tell readers everything they need to know to design lighting for their home. Rather than live with an odd collection of lamps and fixtures, readers will learn how to create lighting schemes for every room as well as their yard. You will learn how to select lamps, fixtures, and bulbs that will work together to create safe, useful lighting that complements their furnishings, creates the mood they want, and increases the value of their home.
Equipped with their lighting schemes, readers are prepared for the second section of "Lighting Your Home Inside and Out." Here, they will find large full-color diagrams and foolproof step-by-step directions for bringing their lighting plans to life. Readers will learn to run electrical cable, install fixtures and switches, and even how to rewire that great old lamp they found at a flea market.

Here, full-color photographs and checklists offer inspiration and practical information on beds and linens, wall and floor treatments, and closets and other storage, and help the reader to reconcile the day and night functions of the room. Functional guest rooms are addressed, and an entire chapter is devoted to children's rooms, with colorful, safe ideas for beds, sleep-over accommodations, and toy storage, as well as tips on adapting children's rooms as the children grow older.
