Summer is officially here!!

June 21 is the first day of summer and the Summer Solstice.

You want fun in the sun? You got it! Today, June 21, daylight will be around longer than any other day thanks to the summer solstice. Solstice comes from the Latin word sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still). We won’t bore you with the scientific facts.

What are you planning to do this summer? Here are some ideas to make this summer a memorable one!

  • Go on several picnics. This might be a toughie depending on where you live. Down here in Florida, the heat is almost unbearable.
  • Join a dance studio/club/gym. Stay fit while having fun this summer by dancing your calories away. You can also do this from the comfort of your own home by renting/buying dance work-out videos, or even watching fun work-outs on Youtube
  • Got your beach body ready? Time to hit the pool! Water parks are also fun. Bikini shy? Try the activity above and start your work-out.
  • Take a trip/vacation. Visit a new place and have an adventure. Low on cash? You can go to a local spot or check out some concerts happening in your area.
  • Set a goal and challenge yourself! Set a deadline and plan to achieve something this summer. Or, try out a new hobby.
  • Visit Farrey's Lighting & Bath and take a look of our outdoor room and ceiling fans, you will get a lot of cool ideas to freshen up your home.

The Ultimate Toilet- NEOREST by TOTO

Ingeniously designed and impeccably engineered, NEOREST is the epitome of luxury.

TOTO is the undisputed world leader in toilet innovation and design, and the NEOREST is testament to just that. It is the first intelligent, ‘aware of you’ toilet that takes personal hygiene and comfort to a whole new level. In truth, calling it a ‘toilet’ at all is far too limiting. The lid rises automatically for you when you approach. But that’s just the beginning.

From a sleek, wireless remote control mounted on the wall, you can control every feature: motorized seat (up, down, temperature), water temperature, Cyclone flush, massage, oscillate, and change wand position.

Walking away from the NEOREST automatically engages the flush mode as well as the closing of the seat and lid.

The NEORESTs Power Catalytic Air Purifier function effectively eliminates unpleasant odors. The NEOREST's Automatic Power Deodorize may also be manually engaged at any time with the mere flip of a switch.

Here again, simplicity of form follows function. You’ll notice there is no tank. This helps create a more modern, stylishly contoured look. And just as remarkable, on the inside is the Cyclone® Flushing System - a revolutionary way that uses gravity and water for ultimate cleaning, guaranteeing optimum efficiency and water conservation.

Neorest is about elevating every experience to the highest level. So, if you must call it a toilet, consider it the most luxurious one in the world.

Do you wanna have an experience beyond words?? Come and visit any of our showrooms, you will simply LOVE IT!!

Create an Outdoor Resort in your Backyard

Creating a beautiful landscape does not have to be expensive. A few well-placed low-voltage path or accent lights can have a huge impact. Here are a few things to keep in mind:  
  •  No lawn is too small. Even modest homes or those with limited yards or gardens can benefit.
  • Low-voltage outdoor lighting is inexpensive, safe and relatively easy to install. A handy homeowner can put in a low-voltage lighting system over a weekend. All you need are basic tools, a transformer (to reduce standard 120-volt household current to the safe 12-volt level), outdoor low-voltage copper cable and low-voltage light fixtures.
  • It is not necessary to do everything at once. For your initial project, install a transformer that is larger than required, because it will only consume the amount of electricity being used. The larger capacity transformer will already be in place when you install additional fixtures.
  • Buy well-constructed fixtures. They will last decades longer than cheap fixtures.
  • Remember that a little light goes a long way outdoors. For example, a 50- to 60-foot pathway can be adequately illuminated with three to four high-quality lights.
  • Save electricity by using a timer or photo cell. A photocell automatically turns the lights off and on when it becomes light or dark outside.
Feel free to visit any of our showrooms, and one of our experts will help you transform your backyard into a beautiful oasis.
