# I’m trying really hard to get the lighting right in this room. That…

_Posted by Misty on 2026-08-31_

I’m trying really hard to get the lighting right in this room. That is a SW facing window, but there is a front porch and a very large shade tree blocking all of the direct light. I do have the blinds open during the day, as well. I have two grow lights in the canned lights on the ceiling, plus a grow light in the lamp and the small light on the shelves for my props. I sure hope this will last me the winter without too much stress…🤞
