In this segment, host Denise Dillon tours the loft of Jody Keuhn.- In the kitchen, Keuhn went with puck lighting under the cabinets (figure A). She felt this type of lighting was more subtle than flourescent.
- And the pendant lighting (figure B) in the kitchen adds fun and color to the space. "The pendants were to hide the soffit that was a construction afterthought," Keuhn says. "They're fun and add a little color to all the brown and black."
- This unique lamp (figure C) in the living room has an out-of-this-world feel to it. "We thought it looked like an alien, and we were both turning 40 and thought it made perfect sense for a reading light for two people," Keuhn confesses. The light branches can be adjusted to bring the light bulb as close or far away as you desire.
One of the most unique spots in this loft is the non-working elevator that the homeowners converted into a wet bar with the appropriate amount of lighting (figure D).With the high ceilings in this loft, the couple utilize dining room lights that extend down from above (figure E). "We wanted something that could easily change out and move around," Keuhn says.If you attend a party at the Keuhn residence, don't be surprised if you're caught in the spotlight (figure F), so to speak. Keuhn's husband loves to collect lights, and this spotlight is just one in his collection.
One of the more clever lighting touches in this loft is the use of decorative lighting, such as this bird (figure G) fixture that illuminates as it soars.In the master bedroom, most of the light comes from the ceiling and canned lights (figure H). "We surrounded the room," Keuhn says, "instead of having one big light in the corner. I hate those."If you don't think a chandelier (figure I) can work in a bathroom, think again! "I inherited this from my mother," Keuhn says, "and it didn't fit the motif of the loft, so I put it in the bathroom."In the final segment, learn how to make a lamp in no time.
