I went to Menards in search for more light. I didn't want to buy new light fixtures, I just wanted brighter bulbs, but everything in my home seems to allow up to 60 watt bulbs. I talked to the light specialist (well that's what I'm calling her) in the store and she explained the light bulb...
Soft White = a yellow base creating a warm feel
Bright White = a yellow and blue base giving a nice mixture
Daylight = a blue base giving a very bright feel
As I went home and looked around my house, I realized I was buying soft white for all of my bulbs. I never realized I was doing this. I just bought the light bulbs in the past paying no attention to the exact color.
I went back to Menards and bought 15 fluorescent energy saving light bulbs, 60 watt, in a bright white. Well... let me show you the difference. I love it. Cory thinks he needs sunglasses in the kitchen, but I love the brighter lights!

Hallway after:
It's a much truer-to-color light. Plus, it saves us money on our electric bill because we went with energy efficient fluorescent bulbs!
What color light bulbs do you use? Do you have a room that always feels really dark? Maybe try switching out the bulbs!
