All Lamps Are NOT Created Equal!

Laura A. • June 11, 2018

As we transition from incandescent lamps to the new generation of LED lamps, many people are discovering that there are big differences between one lamp and another. In many cases the color of the light doesn’t match the existing lights, or fabrics, paints and other surface coverings just don’t look right under some of the new LED lamps. In cases where lights are connected to dimmers many people are finding that the LED lamps won’t dim properly and can even start “flashing” rather than producing smooth, even light.

We can help. We have created a “ lighting lab ” where you can compare a wide range of lights so that you can see for yourself the difference that the right choice can make.

We’re proud to share that our Owings Mills kitchen renovation has earned top honors for Best Mid-Century Modern Renovation in the Baltimore Magazine Home & Design Awards . The project will be featured in the magazine’s April 2026 issue. What began as a necessary plumbing repair beneath the slab quickly evolved into something much larger—a full reimagining of a 1959 kitchen that the homeowners already loved. Rather than starting over, the vision centered on preserving the spirit of the original space while elevating its performance, materiality, and experience.
