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.

This summer’s annual B.L.O.G. contest — that’s Barn Light Online Giveaway — came at a perfect time for Shannan in Goshen, Indiana. A blogger who muses about house and home on her Flower Patch Farmgirl blog, Shannan and her husband Cory, along with kids Calvin, Ruby and Silas, were in the middle of building a new home so the contest was a great way to score some lighting for their new digs.

emblem_shade_gooseneck_lighting_restaurant.jpgWhen you travel in and around Boston, you soon discover two things — all of the sights and sounds of every historic battle you’ve read about since third grade history class are even better in person. And two, there is no shortage of places to pop in and have a beer when you get tired of walking! This popular spot south of Boston offers live music and traditional pub fare, but what draws people to this pub as opposed to the dozens of others you pass on your way to Bunker Hill?

Porcelain Lighting – A Solid Investment for Our Featured Customer

Kitchens, Residential Inspiration Betty L Leave a Comment on Porcelain Lighting – A Solid Investment for Our Featured Customer

With a turn-of-the-century kitchen that hadn’t seen any refreshment in years, Beth from Delaware, decided to go all out. Turning to magazines and websites for inspiration, Beth started selecting new paint colors, countertops, and improved kitchen lighting. This was a complete remodel of our kitchen,” Beth says. “We very much changed the layout and took out a back hall closet to gain some much-needed space.” Beth found perfect lighting in the form of a shallow bowl porcelain pendant in a red finish that would complement her new paint colors.

One of the best things about a kitchen island is that when you have kids, it becomes an instant race track! They never seem to tire of running ’round and ’round as these three, not-so-tiny siblings are doing. We’re loving the look of this modest-size kitchen space with its attractive center island plus the many industrial farmhouse touches throughout. The open shelving that keeps essentials within reach, the sleek stainless hood, and the sturdy industrial stools tucked under the island all add up to a functional and inviting space.

Rustic Wall Sconce Lighting Adds Safety, Style to Back Yard Retreat

Porches, Garages, & Home Exteriors, Residential Inspiration Betty L Leave a Comment on Rustic Wall Sconce Lighting Adds Safety, Style to Back Yard Retreat

The back yard has so much more joie de vivre than the front yard. While the front yard is more concerned with curb appeal, real estate value, and perennials that bloom on time, the back yard is the casual and light-hearted retreat from the street. Parties pop up in the back yard, kids romp and play, and quiet conversations take place on the back stairs where no one can hear. This lush and inviting back yard is gently illuminated by two wall sconces that provide just the right touch of light to the stairs so no one stumbles after dark while chasing lightning bugs.
