Barn Wall Sconce Brings Relaxed Style to Busy Kitchen

Kitchens, Residential Inspiration Betty L Leave a Comment on Barn Wall Sconce Brings Relaxed Style to Busy Kitchen

When you have a bunch of kids in the house, the kitchen tends to be the magnet area where homework gets tackled, snacks are served, and the family just seems to congregate at the end of a long day. A space filled with light and warmth makes the kitchen attractive and the smell of brownies floating down the hallway doesn’t hurt either! We visited this kitchen once before in our Industrial Farmhouse blog, but we didn’t give you the full picture of the kitchen entryway which features a dandy little barn wall sconce that highlights not only the doorway but the chalkboard wall that serves as place for impromptu notes and reminders. The galvanized sconce fits right in with the barn pendants and gooseneck lighting in the kitchen proper.

Barn Light Industrial Pendant for a Bright, Modern Kitchen

Kitchens, Residential Inspiration Betty L Leave a Comment on Barn Light Industrial Pendant for a Bright, Modern Kitchen

Sliding barn doors, once useful mainly for keeping the horses in the stalls, are finding their way into homes everywhere from uptown Manhatten to the outskirts of Omaha. These doors add dimension and a touch of vernacular and, like this beautiful slider, keep the pantry shelves concealed with ease. We love the rustic look of the door’s styling against the bright white palette of this kitchen. Adding an industrial touch to the lighting scheme are sleek, deep bowl pendants overhanging the island. These pendants are much like our Industrial Uplight Pendant, part of our collection of Barn Pendant lighting.

New England is in all its glory during the autumn. Florida may have cornered the market on summertime fun, but fall belongs to New England with its brilliant displays of color splashed against a deep blue October sky. And at the Acorn Canning Company, customers are flocking in to stock up on homemade jellies, hearty soups, pumpkin bread, and cranberry relish. No one will miss the sign out front thanks to the very functional and stylish gooseneck sign lights that line the front of the building.

Vintage Porcelain Lighting Sets Mood in Victorian Wine Cellar

Home Tours, Residential Inspiration Betty L Leave a Comment on Vintage Porcelain Lighting Sets Mood in Victorian Wine Cellar

vintage_cord_hung_porcelain_pendant.jpgSad as it may be, most homes don’t come with a wine cellar. Much less a wine cellar that oozes with warmth, style, and a moody vibe that lets you know as soon as you cross the threshold that this is a place to slow down, relax, and breathe —  just like a good wine. This gorgeous setting is part of a 126-year-old home located in Connecticut’s Pine Meadow Historic District. Known as the Philip Chapin House after its first owner, it is named in the National Register of Historic Places as “an excellent example of Victorian domestic architecture.” The owners have spent decades preserving the historic details of this home and, as you can see here, chose classic porcelain lighting to set the mood.

When you own a commercial business, be it a restaurant or retail venue, you have many considerations for your exterior spaces to capture people’s attention and draw them in. Landscaping is one way to spruce up the outside of a building as is bold, easy-to-read signage that can’t be missed. When darkness falls, it becomes even more important to have a good commercial lighting plan not only to highlight the exterior features, but to keep your property secure as well. Read More »

Deep Bowl Barn Pendant Adds Big Wow Factor to Dining Space

Kitchens, Residential Inspiration Betty L Leave a Comment on Deep Bowl Barn Pendant Adds Big Wow Factor to Dining Space

What separates a pleasant, inviting space from one that actually makes people stop and say, “Wow!” — it’s the wow factor, of course. Some rooms have it, some don’t. This room definitely has it and, in our opinion, the wow factor comes from above in the shape of a substantial deep bowl barn pendant. Now don’t get us wrong, there’s a lot to love in this farmhouse kitchen. Those dark wood floors contrasting with the white board-and-batten walls, the awesome bay window, and the industrial touch the dining chairs lend to the whole space.
