I hate picking out light fixtures - or any home fixtures, for that matter. It's overwhelming and, to be honest, I'm just not that interested in it. 

All I know about light fixtures is that when I like something, I know it instantly. That was the case this weekend as I was finishing up a company Christmas party at Stoney Ridge Event Center south of Robinson, IL.

The first thing I noticed about this amber light was the feeling of warmth and coziness it created. It was cold that particular night, and the soft light served as a beacon of warmth.

And then there were those mesmerizing shadows. At first, they made me think of lighthouse glass, then slowly my mind found basketballs.

I love when I can find different forms in the shadows. It's easy to let your imagination run wild. Oddly, it's usually the most basic forms that create the most interesting shadows. People are a little like that, too:)
