fluorescent lightbulbs
Sure we feel good about all the fluorescent bulbs we’re using, but we didn’t think about how it would affect the paint color on the walls. When we picked paint colors, we were using regular old incandescent bulbs. Now our warm cream color now looks a bit institutional. Something to think about for the next paint job.
Update:
Eric from Real World Green clued me in to buy the CFLs that say “Warm White†on the package. I guess as the kitchen bulbs burn out that’s what we’ll replace them with. Curse the long life of the CFL! Now I’ll spend years in my institutional-colored kitchen! Or I could just move those 8 or so bulbs somewhere else.
