I am all about saving time.  I really am.  With two kids underfoot, there is never enough time in the day.  Bill and I have been talking about remodeling our kitchen for some time now (granted, it won’t happen till at least next year when we can save up enough cash to do it).  When we remodel, I want all new stuff in there (who wouldn’t).  I came across Lumens where I can get everything from lighting to Alessi accessories.  It is truly a one stop shop to get everything you need to decorate any room in your house.  I know that Bill and I both can’t stand our current lighting in the kitchen, so I definitely know we are in the market for new cool lighting.  They have modern lighting and innovators like FLOS, Artemide, Tech Lighting, and LBL Lighting.  They even have floor lamps to pick from.  There is definitely something for everyone.  I do like the ceiling fan we have, but Lumens does have a great selection of those too!  They have accessories for every room too!

Best of all, Lumens offers free shipping for orders over $50.  I love free shipping and could easily spend $50.  If you are looking at redecorating or doing a little remodeling, check out Lumens.

Living with an electrical engineer has made me appreciate lighting on a whole different level than most people.  Whether I want to know or not, Bill can look at say some Chandeliers and tell you how much they cost, why they used that specific brand, and so on and so forth. It also has allowed me to have some awesome Bathroom Lighting and under cabinet lighting in the kitchen.

That being said, I still enjoy looking at companies like Littman Bros that have some great lighting deals.  They also have some the top namebrands out there at reasonable prices.  Who doesn’t like that?  Their site is just so easy to navigate.  Our next lighting purchase will actually be a ceiling fan with a light for Will’s bedroom, and they have a lot of us to choose from in that department too!  With free shipping for orders over $100, how can you go wrong?  I love that these guys are local to me (they are in Schaumberg, IL), so I’ll get my orders fairly quickly.  They also have a local showroom, so I can easily go in and check them out.

If you are in need of lighting in your home or business, definitely check out Littman Bros.

The Step ‘n Shine Wireless Night Lighting System is a great product to have in your house.  How many times have you went to the bathroom in the middle of the night and stubbed your toe?  How many times have you blinded yourself by turning on the bathroom light?  Well, you won’t have that problem anymore.  The Step ‘n Shine Wireless Night Lighting System comes with a light zone activator mat and 1 wireless illuminator light.  Once you step on the mat, it lights up all the illuminator lights (you can buy extra ones).  To turn it off, you just step on the mat again.

Even though there are several adult uses, this is great if you have kids too.  Madison can get out of bed and have a lighted path to the bathroom.  She doesn’t fully have to wake herself up anymore.  Another great use is that we know when she is up (as long as she steps on the map).  We can keep the illuminator light by us and see when she got up.  We are actually planning on packing this up and bringing it to Green Bay with us when we go to visit my parents.  My parents house isn’t as familiar to Madison as ours, so this will help tremendously for her late night bathroom trips.  This also works great to check up on Will (my 18 month old) at night without having to turn the light on.

The great thing about the Step ‘n Shine Wireless Night Lighting System is that there are no wires, no cords, and no clapping!  You don’t get an easier system to use than this either.  If you have anyone up at night in your house, you should definitely look at getting one of these.
