Okay, time to order path lighting for the outside so people don’t break their necks trying to get around out there. These lights are specifically for the steps and we really only need a few out front and back.

After tons of poking around for something that’s not over-designed (“i’m an attention hog, do not look away from me!!”) and not too out-there (omg it’s like makers think the word “modern” = quirky and hideous), plus not too delicate (this house calls for something beefy, not slender) etc., I’ve finally located two options that are not only modern and minimal but pretty affordable!

First, this simple right-angled path light in aluminum…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From the Atlantis Collection made by Hinkley Lighting, it’s available in bronze, hermatite or titanium finish…

 

 

 

 

 

Or this angled path light from their Piza collection, also in aluminum…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Available in bronze and titanium finish…

 

 

 

 

I think either style could work. Our house has both right angles and angley angles…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ah, remember summer when it was warm and the garden was just starting to take off?

Anyway, whaddya think? Angle or right angle? Bronze would blend into the scenery the best. Titanium would almost but not quite go with the aluminum window frames and flashing, as well as the galvanized aluminum planter boxes and steps. Decisions, decisions.
