Not necessarily a favorite season but I am always blown away by the beauty of prisms dashing around my breakfast area wall when the sun tops the trees and shines into the crystal facets of my lighting. It never fails to make me smile. It's like a hug from God.

There was a spot at my parent's house. Not a very convenient place but it was a ray of light coming in through the glass door. People took turns standing in that spot. Holly Kay that sounds so nice.

There is a certain time of the year and day when the sunlight streams through the dining room windows and catches not only the huge crystal chandelier, but also the large cut crystal Tiffany vase on the table. It is unbelievable....hundreds of dancing prisms all over room. Just magical!

I have been contemplating a crystal chandelier for the dining room and from the posts above I want one real bad now! the morning sun shines in there and it would look awesome.

I like our family room in the Spring and Summer. Now, though, it's too sunny and uncomfortable. Our home was built to take advantage of the sun's warming rays. During the cool months, more of the sun's rays hit the back of our house. Being solid adobe with brick floors, they absorb the heat and retain it. Energy efficient, but it makes sitting in our family room too sunny and uncomfortable most mornings now.

I do notice the light as the seasons change, especially in our new home, where there seems to be a lack of sunlight. There are few windows and covered porches in the front and back, which are nice places, but hinder the light getting inside the house.

As winter approaches, I focus on internal light, like the fireplace, the lights in the recessed corners and plant shelves. We will only get about 10 hours of light from outside, and most of it will be gray and through clouds, so I have to be prepared.

Everyone's spaces sound lovely. It is interesting to hear how everyone has a certain place or room they love even more during certain times of the day or year.

I was talking to my husband last night. He said the sun is now getting lower on the south side of our house, therefor we have a lot more light in the house. Most of our windows face south to take in the view of the lake in the area. So, I guess that is why I am noticing the warmer color.

Mine is my living room, similar to Sheeisback's bedroom. In fall and winter, when there is less light, because of the warm tan on the walls, it becomes warm and cozy and radiant, esp. in the late afternoon.

aktillery, how is the Brainstorm Bronze holding up with the light changes?

That sounds lovely Tib! The brainstorm bronze is looking a bit lighter with the sun flooding in. I still love it. I like it the most at night with the warm glow of lamplight!

I bet! I also like the Lenox Tan most at night for the same reason. How perfect is your setup, though? Luscious warm bronze glowing at night...and that view in daylight! Perfection.

And then there's that fab-yoo martini table...West Elm stepped up to the plate yet and sent you a freebie? Seems I have to pay for my Sub Zero too :-(. Not fee-yah! ("fair" in a severe Boston accent).

lol Tib! You are sweet. Nope no free stuff from West Elm. I guess they do not follow me on Gardenweb. Weird huh?

Looking forward to your kitchen reno and reveal!!!

I enjoy the differences in morning sunlight that comes into our east facing room throughout the year. Sometimes it is just amazing and I've snapped a few pictures of it. It will change again, sigh, this Sunday.
