Local Lighting Designer to Participate In Home Renovation That Will Air Nationally On Emmy Award Winning Show
East Providence, RI. (January 18, 2011)- Evelyn Audet Principal Designer of Evelyn Audet Lighting Design’s lighting plan will be featured in upcoming episode of the Emmy Award Winning Public Broadcast Service’s home improvement series This Old House. The beachfront home was selected after an exhaustive search in the Ocean State last spring, which yielded several hundred submissions. Evelyn Audet, well known in the building & architectural community for her work over the past 20 years in lighting design was asked to join the design team. “This is an exciting opportunity to showcase how lighting can compliment features of the home with just a touch of finesse,” says Evelyn Audet. The property, a small cottage nestled 150 yards from the beach with impressive views of Narragansett Bay is located in the coastal town of Barrington. The homeowners, Geoffrey Allen & Michelle Forcier, are professionals who relocated to the area from Chicago with their daughter. After two years of renting a nearby house in the neighborhood, they decided to purchase the 1500 square foot cottage to make their permanent home. Based in Rhode Island, Evelyn Audet Lighting Design has been lighting residential homes, commercial buildings and landscapes throughout New England and the Eastern Seaboard for over two decades. Accolades include various awards and articles featured in Rhode Island Monthly, Southern New England Home, Lighting Design & Application Trade Journal. She is a past winner of The Providence Preservation Society Residential Rehabilitation Award and was a participant in the recent Newport Flower Show’s The Blue Garden Feature lighting design. “Lighting enhances the architectural features, interior design and landscaping as no other medium can,” says Evelyn Audet. Having worked with Hubbardton Forge out of Vermont for the last 20 years (who are known for their quality craftsmanship and exquisite detail) left no doubt in Evelyn Audet’s mind that they were whom she would turn to for lighting fixtures. Evelyn Audet states that selecting the fixture is part of the decorating scheme where selecting the correct lamp (light bulb) is essential for best performance. Evelyn Audet used her talents adding layers of light creating interesting spaces and flexibility. “Lighting will enhance the mood and efficiency of This Old House,” she states. The episode featuring Evelyn Audet’s lighting design in the Barrington home will air in March. The new episodes of This Old House premieres Jan. 26the on PBS.
