The Light in the Mirror

The best bathrooms are those with natural light, say from a huge window 8x5 foot facing a large mirror. My Uncle's bathroom in Maryland has just that. I noticed it after I got out of the shower on Saturday morning. The steam from the water had blurred the glass, but there were still some clear bits. The natural light that was coming through the window wasn't harsh direct light, but softer diffused light, as if through clouds. I loved the way it evenly light everything in the bathroom. Not only does my Uncle have a beautiful house, but he has simple, beautiful things in the house. I just thought the bathroom was so pretty that morning.

After the steam cleared the bathroom was still glowing, persay. It was the perfect light to put on makeup and get dressed in. I just couldn't get over how evenly everything was light, probably because the mirror reflected the soft light. Light is good.
