August 2008


I have been running this real estate blog since March 2006. And guess what, it has really grown from strength to strength.

It is probably time to take this to another level. I am considering spinning off this blog into an independent business entity. Part of that will involve creating a business identity. I think that the name Lets Make it Sold does well. But I want to go the whole hog and actually print stationery and stuff.

Luckily there are a lot of online printing options available (such as the one I just linked to). Being a real estate enthusiast, I am not really in tune with how all this printing stuff works. But I am excited by what I saw.

I do not want to take too much of a detour from our usual programming on homes, houses, property, land, condos, apartments, and rent. Not to forget realtors, real estate websites, real estate brokers and the like.

But I would really like to take a moment and celebrate our coming of age on this blog. And also thank the fine folk at PsPrint for the great job that they are doing with online printing. More power to the likes of them.

I think that online businesses and other small business can benefit from online options instead of visiting the usual suspects, i.e., brick and mortar printing shops.

Today let us get our homes enlightened. I am actually trying to act cute. What I really mean is, “What is the use of a great house if it does not have great lighting?”

Lights and Lighting is now no more about simply illumination. It is about making the house a home. It is about using lights as an instrument of interior design.

Think about the impact that Chandeliers can have on an otherwise drab room. I think that it will convert a dull room to the lobby of a five star hotel.

And if you have a lawn or front yard or for that matter a back yard, consider the exquisite range of Outdoor Lighting Fixtures that are in the market.

And that brings up the option of Vanity Lighting. I think that the type of lighting you use shows the kind of person you really are. I would go to the extent of saying that how the home makes you feel depends more on the type of lighting you use.

Otherwise why would a newspaper such as the New York Times report about the type of lighting that the city of New York intends to use.
Do visit the site that I have liberally linked to in this post. I think that it is a really cool site, with a great range of lighting products.
