Summary

The reason we felt like we should do a sconces episode is because Jess got a text back in December from a good friend in real estate who said that his wife can’t see herself when she’s putting makeup on. Jess asked him for a picture of his setup and when he send over the image, she noticed he had the wrong type of sconces next to his mirror, which was a really beautiful, very elegant sconce, but it had a linen shade on it and one candelabra bulb in each sconce. The window was behind her, so there was no light on her face. Jess told him he had the wrong type of sconces for a bathroom and this got us thinking that there may be a lot of other people out there that don’t know about all the different types of sconces and what they’re used for, how to optimize them for lighting, and where to put them in your home.

It still feels different in person with your eyeballs, with the height of the people viewing it. Maybe the wife is 5 feet tall, maybe the husband is 6 feet tall, maybe the husbands that are married are both 6’8” or something. We all perceive things differently depending on the height and we try to design to that as we have a stick figure of a person their height.” 24:22–https://www.instagram.com/alicelaneinteriors/–https://www.instagram.com/alicelanehome/–https://alicelanehome.com/–https://www.facebook.com/AliceLaneHome–https://www.pinterest.com/alicelanehome/–https://www.youtube.com/alicelanehomecollectionsaltlakecity–News Letter: https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/subscribe?a=HZENWY&g=PFcqV5
