C'mon in. . .

 Arustic Porch                                                                                                                                                                                                     Every summer, our family went up to the little cabin on the lake.   What it lacked in amenities, it made up for in memories - a spotted owl, mom's potato salad, marshmallows over an open campfire, diving off the dock or just floating down the river in inner tubes.

Bear at Home celebrates the places and products which remind us of a simpler time when craftsmanship guaranteed satisfaction, and service was just good business. We hope these items will grace your home and inspire future generations of memories.

Inside you will find a rustic collection suitable for your new log home, a restored rustic cabin, or anywhere you simply desire a more casual lifestyle.

C'mon in. . .

Tip of the Month - Lighting

Many of us may be changing our decor, updating our color schemes and changing our light fixtures.

Here is a useful lighting tip:

In the dining room, use your room height to determine where to position the fixture above your dining table - For an 8-foot ceiling, the bottom of your fixture should be 27-30" from the table. For higher ceilings, add three inches for each additional foot of height.

And, the width of your fixture should be no wider than the width of your table minus 12 inches!

For those of us of a "certain age" - regular incandescent bulbs greatly reduce our visual acuity. Using cooler type light sources, such as halogens and fluorescents can be a big help. Increasing the number of light fixtures in the room is really beneficial.

Happy Lighting!
