Metal shades only give directional lighting, which is great for a desk or work area, but not for ambient lighting. Fabric shades are much softer.

As long as you work in a color palette and you style what you already have within that color palette, it's going to look good together.

I set up stations, buy a big vat of chili, and then guests do what they want to do - and I still get to party.

I think I've always been drawn to the notion of talk as cinematic.

Bill Clinton was a liberal who could appeal to conservative-leaning Bubba voters.
