A little nod to the folks at Sacramento-based Lumens Light + Living, who have created a special set of light fixtures and accessories that work well in our Eichlers and Strengs here in town!
Our journey of preserving a 1955 eichler home in south land park hills + telling the current state & past history of mid-century modern in the Sacramento, California region.

- I grew up in Beaumont, CA, near Palm Springs -- where I spent a great deal of time in the late 60's and 70's. My love for modern and mid-century run deep. I now live with my husband and two young children in Sacramento, CA. We have two mid-century modern homes, one of which is an Eichler. Thanks for stopping by :) *clinking virtual martini*

Lighting is so critical! And I love it. Good lights make you feel warm and cosy and at home. Bad lighting makes a house not feel like a home.
