What To Know In Selecting And Installing Chandeliers

Chandeliers are ubiquitous -- as they are found in elegant homes in the United States and elsewhere.Having had its roots in the Medieval period, the earliest known chandeliers took the shape of crosses with spikes on which candles could be securely placed. During that time, the presence of chandeliers could only be found in places of assembly. How times have changed.Now the chandeliers are more intricate in design and they've found their way into private abodes, specifically in dining rooms. But what makes chandeliers in style? They are popular because no other furnishing can command as much attention.How To Choose The Right ChandelierIf you're thinking of buying a chandelier, the criteria for choosing the best one is actually NOT based on your personal taste, but rather in (a) the size of your table and (b) on how much illumination your dining room needs.The common feature across all light bulbs is that they all have multiple bulbs that give off a great deal of illumination. But how much illumination does your dining room need? Measure the size of your room. Multiply the length of the room by the width, then you multiply the result with by 1.5. So if the size of your room is 12 feet by 15 feet, the formula would look this way: 12 x 15 x 1.5. If you do the math, you will find that you need a total of 270 watts. The chandelier that will provide enough illumination is the one with 6-40 watt bulbs. To provide the best lighting, you can complement the chandelier with other light fixtures, wall sconces or buffet lamps.A chandelier's diameter should not exceed to around 1/2 of the width of your dining table. It should be hung from 27 to 30 inches above. But of course, the number of light bulbs shouldn't be your only consideration in buying a chandelier. You should keep in mind the chandelier's design, its size and, of course, your finances.Installing Your ChandelierSo, now you've bought a chandelier. What you need to do now is have your chandelier installed. Handle with care when installing your chandelier as they are elaborately designed.- Check the weight. You surely don't want your newly-bought chandelier to fall off upon installation. If your chandelier is heavier than your current lighting, you might need to replace the ceiling's junction box.- This is practically common sense, but you need to disconnect the power connecting to your chandelier when you are in the process of installing it.- Take out the old lighting and take note of how your previous lighting was installed. Replace the old lighting with your new chandelier.Be sure you have a mounting strap in place from your ceiling. Attach your chandelier's hardware to the mounting strap. Screw the mounting strap to the junction box.- Connect the wires of your chandelier to that of your ceiling.---CHANDELIERS: Barnes and Wagner offers the finest quality lamps and home decoration.

Lighting Home Improvements

The lighting in your home not only adds brightness, but it adds value to it as well. When you typically think about home improvement lighting, your thoughts might turn to exterior security lights, but it improving your home with light can mean so much more. Even outdoor landscape lighting adds to your overall home value. Any residential lighting fixture that is installed inside your home has the potential to raise the worth of the house. Many believe that this only applies to counter tops and cabinetry, but it also means adding home improvement lighting. A good rule of thumb to follow is that any fixture which you install in your home for its betterment will be an investment. If you decide to sell your residence in the future, your home will net you more income than an identical home without specialty home improvement lighting fixtures. Think about when you were last visiting open houses. The homes that had special lights such as chandeliers lights or pendant lighting fixtures both were more interesting to look at, even unfurnished, and cost more, than those homes with simple ceiling lights. Using cues from the home sellers and builders, you can greatly beautify the interior of your abode with just the simple investment of a weekend's worth of time and a bit of patience in order to install some lighting for home improvement. Even if you are not planning on selling your estate anytime soon, do not forget that your home is your castle, and it will be beneficial to you to have the most comfortable and visually aesthetic living space possible. Having the right specialty lights and lighting fixtures can make all the difference in the atmosphere of your home. Improvement to home lighting creates an oasis from the harsh glare of commercial florescent lights. You can change the tone of any room by adding in LED accent lighting. The color of some of these models can be changed via a remote control so that you can match the room to your mood. Another way to artfully accent a room is to use track lighting kits. These allow you to spotlight certain areas. For a dramatic flair, you could direct the beams upward to paint shadows on the wall and ceiling. Even simply updating the original fixtures is an improvement to home lighting. If your lights were the same that the home builders installed, it is probably time to change them out. This will save you money since newer light fixtures can often be equipped with more energy efficient light bulbs, like our LED track lighting. The benefit of LED or even fluorescent ceiling lights are their longevity. They use much less energy than incandescent bulbs, and in many cases have a more modern flair to their styling. If you are doing home lighitng improvements, you will likely want to consider replacing your incandescent bulbs with more energy efficient fluorescent bulbs whenever possible. The savings on your monthly electric bill will quickly add up to a substantial sum. Creating the perfect illumination theme for your home environment requires the right type of lighting fixtures. Combining living room light fixtures with home automation dimmers is another way to project a particular mood or theme. Dimmers can set light tone within a room and enhance mood lighting by the simple touch of a button.

Rio Cultural Centers: Flamengo Options

Thinking about renting an apartment in Flamengo? Excellent idea! Flamengo has become an increasingly sought-out neighborhood in Rio for several reasons, including its art deco architecture buildings, famous bars like Belmonte and ultimately its cultural centers and museums. Until the 1950s, Flamengo and Catete were the principal residential zones of Rio's wealthier middle class and that may be the reason why some of many embassies (today consulates) were established here.Nowadays, Flamengo is a vibrant middle-class residential neighborhood, with much charm and culture to be had. In this article we will describe some of the cultural centers and museums established in the Flamengo district including the Modern Art Museum, Oi Futuro Cultural Center, and the Catete Palace. The best thing is that most of these marvels are free.Our first stop is the city ´s Modern Art Museum. It has a privileged location on Flamengo Park alongside Guanabara Bay, with the landscaping designs of Burle Marx. The Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro started its construction in 1954, and is perhaps architect Affonso Eduardo Reidy´s most striking design: rows of angled concrete ribs support and enclose the gallery space. Inaugurated in 1958, the Modern Art Museum has a very unusual history; after a tragic fire in 1978 burned most of its collection, and damaged the structure of the building, a tremendous reconstruction effort put the museum back on its feet, and today the permanent collection has over 2,000 pieces by Brazilian and international artists. A major contribution was made by art patron Gilberto Chateubriand, with a private collection of 4,000 pieces. It is also under the care of MAM, and can be seen in the permanent exhibition. An interesting program of art shows and exhibitions keep the museum as an excellent attraction throughout the year. An impressive collection of the works of Picasso, Max Ernst, Rodin, Brancusi and other artists from Brazil and elsewhere is housed in this concrete and glass building in Flamengo Park.Another major attraction of the Museum of Modern Art is the film collection ("Cinemateca do MAM"), one of the best in Latin America, with over 12,000 titles including some rarities. There are sessions and festivals open for the general public, with Brazilian and foreign cult movies that are not normally shown on the commercial circuit. Art workshops are held at the Oficina da Gravura. Additional Information on the Modern Art Museum in Rio: Open from Tuesday to Sunday, from 12 noon to 6 p.m. Av. Infante Dom Henrique, 85 - Flamengo Park.Our next Cultural Center for Flamengo is OI FUTURO, located at Rua Dois de Dezembro, 66. The Center is maintained and supported by major telecom player in Brazil: OI and has been receiving since its founding grants from several foundations to enhance its cultural assets and infrastructure. OI FUTURO is housed in a building that was built in 1918 and has just been remodeled, resulting in a gain of over two thousand square meters of internal space. The building's façade was preserved. There are four floors, interposed among the building's eight levels, connected by glass stairways and elevators. Each floor presents different exhibits throughout the month. OI FUTURO's varied program includes activities related to music, videos and plastic arts. Visitors will also find an up-to-date library with an abundance of research material: magazines, newspapers and on-line computers as well as exhibition rooms. A full multi-use theater with 180 seats presents regular plays every week, at popular prices. A very charming Wi-Fi connected bistro is located at the upper floor of the Cultural Center, which leads to the terrace of the building. From the terrace, you can even see part of the Flamengo beach and Guanabara Bay. You can check OI FUTURO ´s monthly cultural program and schedule in English at http://www.oifuturo.org.br/oifuturo.htm#/en/Additional Information on the OI Futuro Cutural Center: Open Hours: Tues-Sun. 11am-8pm; Address: Rua Dois de Dezembro, 63 - Flamengo, Phone:(21)3131-3060. Free Admission for several exhibits, with the exception of theater plays.Our last stop is the Catete Palace. The Catete Palace - seat of Brazil's Republican Government from 1897 to 1960 and scene of activities of eighteen Presidents - has seen some of the most important events in Brazil's political life, including the Declaration of Brazil's entry into World Wars I and II and the suicide of President Getúlio Vargas in 1954. Transformed into a museum when Brasília became the nation's capital in 1960, and closed for restoration from 1983 through 1989, the Republic Museum reopened with a broad-ranging cultural program that includes exhibitions, concerts, plays, movies, videos, boutiques, restaurants and a book-store.The gardens of the Museum acquired new lighting, with the replacement of 71 forged iron posts - in the eclectic style - for other posts with contemporaneous designs made of steel. Today, on the ground floor, the Entrance Hall and the Ministerial Room still retain the solemn atmosphere of capital meetings and decisions regarding the nation's destiny. Two long-standing exhibits present historical information about the first occupant of the Palace and his descendents and about the inauguration of the Republic Museum. The remaining rooms hold temporary exhibits that represent varied aspects of Republican Brazil.On the second floor, known as the "noble floor", luxury and thematic diversity stand out. The Chapel room and the Blue, Noble, Pompeian, Venetian, Moorish and Banquette rooms show off their vintage Brazilian and French furniture, paintings from artists such as Baptista da Costa, Gustavo dall'Ara, Décio Vilares, Rodolfo Amoedo, Henrique Bernardelli, besides sculptures, chandeliers and porcelain from the 19th and 20th Centuries. The third floor highlights the reconstruction of President Getúlio Vargas' room. The remaining rooms are devoted to the display of objects, text documents and photographs from the Republic Museum's own collection. The complex also hosts one of my favorite movie theaters in town. The theater is especially known for its art movies and is named "Cinema Museu da República". You can check the theater's schedule in any newspaper in town.Additional Information on the Catete Palace: Open Hours:Tues-Thurs-Fri, noon-5pm Wed, 2pm-5pm- Sat-Sun-Holidays, 2pm-6pm. Free admission Sundays and Wednesday to the Catete Museum. Address: Rua do Catete, 153 - Catete. Phone: (21) 3235-2650 The park in the Catete Palace is opened for visits until 10 p.m.We described in this article only some of Flamengo´s cultural centers and museums. There are many other Cultural Centers all within the Flamengo district boundaries, with many art exhibits and public libraries. We also suggest and appoint the following:Figner Mansion Arte SESC CulturalJulieta de Serpa House of and CultureCultural Center Oduvaldo Viana FilhoCarmen Miranda MuseumTelephone MuseumAs we mentioned before, most of these Cultural Centers have free admittance. Other positive aspects of these cultural centers we described above, is that they are very modern and underwent major renovation efforts.
