Gooseneck Warehouse Shades Welcome You to Texas Style Dining

Commercial Spaces, Restaurants, Bars, & Breweries Betty L Leave a Comment on Gooseneck Warehouse Shades Welcome You to Texas Style Dining

gooseneck_warehouse_shades_pendants_restaurant_lighting.jpgAfter a long day browsing through every gift shop, attraction, and candy store on the main street in Gatlinburg, there’s nothing like a Texas-sized steak and baked potato to revive you for the evening activities. After all, you know your kids want to ride the Space Needle after dark! While we admit the neon beer sign might catch your eye if you’re hot and tired, we couldn’t help but notice the RLM-inspired warehouse shades beckoning tourists to the front door. These gooseneck barn lights are very much like The Drake Gooseneck Light, a perfect mid-sized shade with all the style of larger warehouse shades. These fixtures provide just the right amount of directed light spread over the doorway and sidewalk.

Porcelain Warehouse Shades Light Up Our Life at Sub Shop

Commercial Spaces, Restaurants, Bars, & Breweries Betty L Leave a Comment on Porcelain Warehouse Shades Light Up Our Life at Sub Shop

You just never know where a classic light like an RLM-inspired warehouse shade will pop up. Like at a Firehouse Subs somewhere off of I-26 in South Carolina where the family stopped for a bite of dinner while on the road. These beautiful red porcelain shades fit the décor like a fireman to a firepole. The entire shop is emblazoned with red accents and there are loads of fire hall memorabilia scattered about such as the antique toy fire trucks sitting on the counter. And what fire hall would be complete without the devoted dalmatian standing at the ready!

As you ponder the history and progression of American-made light fixtures — c’mon, we know you think about lighting as much as we do! — the classic RLM warehouse shade is one fixture that has stood the test of time and is as popular today as it was back in the 1930s and 40s when it was first manufactured. Take this inviting kitchen space that has all the spirit of the industrial farmhouse style with its big kitchen window, open shelving, and central table for dining, snapping peas, or just lingering over a morning cup of coffee. What better choice for lighting up the kitchen table than a classic warehouse shade much like our Industrial Twist Cord Warehouse Pendant, part of our collection of Vintage Industrial Lights.

One thing is for certain — New Englanders love their coffee! Two weeks ago, on the main blog, we explored a coffee shop in Arlington, Massachusetts, all lit up by beautiful warehouse shades. Today, we travel closer in towards Boston to historic Cambridge where we find the Dwelltime Coffee Bar has also gone all vintage with their commercial lighting scheme. This inviting venue certainly makes you want to belly up to the coffee bar, then relax with a good e-book, and enjoy the surroundings!

Commercial Spaces, Retail Stores Betty L 1 Comment on Gooseneck Lighting Offers Many Options for Commercial Businesses

More and more commercial businesses are turning to the very flexible and oh so adaptable gooseneck lighting to highlight exterior features such as landscaping, signage, and awnings. Take this Ruby Tuesday restaurant for example which has selected a bold, black fixture much like our Angle Shade Gooseneck Light to bring attention to their signature awnings and corporate slogans printed there. Sign lights such as these are an excellent way not only to provide necessary lighting after dark but to add a stylish statement to your business decor and set your commercial venture apart from the myriad of others.

Deep Bowl Pendants Blend Style and Function for Commerical Lighting

Commercial Spaces, Restaurants, Bars, & Breweries Betty L Leave a Comment on Deep Bowl Pendants Blend Style and Function for Commerical Lighting

Smack in the heart of California’s Napa Valley with its world-renowned wineries, glitzy spas, and gourmet restaurants, you might not notice Kelly’s Fuel and Provisions at first glance. Located in Yountville, in the heart of the valley, this one-pump gas station and adjacent store is “a hub for the local community and a place with unique merchandise for the practical traveler” according to owner Tim Kelly. Kelly renovated the space with plywood tables and shelves, metal fixtures, and a concrete floor to keep the industrial feel of the original gas station. Highlighting the mix of goods — think boutique wines alongside diet Coke, gourmet chocolate and M&Ms — are striking deep bowl pendants. These are very similar to our Ivanhoe® Wilcox Deep Bowl Porcelain Pendant, part of our expanding line of American-made Porcelain Barn Lights.
