Vintage Shallow Bowl Pendant Perfect Fit on Classic Pulley

Bedrooms, Residential Inspiration Betty L Leave a Comment on Vintage Shallow Bowl Pendant Perfect Fit on Classic Pulley

Many people like the look of a wall sconce or a cord hung pendant by the bedside not only for the aesthetics but to eliminate unnecessary clutter on the nightstand. Take this beautiful porcelain shallow bowl pendant for example. It has loads of vintage charm with the added distinction of being hung on a classic trolley to bring the fixture away from the wall. This light is very similar to our Ivanhoe® Sinclair Porcelain Pendant. With its tough and shiny porcelain green exterior and a bright white interior, this vintage light will add a warm touch to your bedside, reading nook, or study.

Classic Gooseneck Shades Light Up New Business

Commercial Spaces, Retail Stores, Uncategorized Betty L Leave a Comment on Classic Gooseneck Shades Light Up New Business

You drive by the empty lot without even noticing it, then all of a sudden earth moving equipment roars in and the ground is leveled. The excitement builds week after week as you wonder what the new business will be! Bricks are laid, awnings are hung, and even gooseneck barn lights find a place on the new facade. Finally, the sign goes up…another new tire store. Well, we might not get so excited about tires, but the gooseneck lighting on the exterior of the business is definitely worth a second look.

Yesterday we visited the Brushy Mountain Smokehouse and Creamery in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina. See The Barn Light Blog for a nice example of Deep Bowl Warehouse Gooseneck Lights on the exterior of the building. Today, we let the smell of smoked, pulled pork barbeque lure us inside this eatery known to the local population as simply The Smokehouse. Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the restaurant lies in the heart of Appalachia where barbeque, mountain traditions, and NASCAR reign supreme.

Sitting in the shadow of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the far northwestern corner of North Carolina, Wilkesboro County is rich in Appalachian history. Home to many southern specialties like Native American crafts and bluegrass music, Wilkesboro even spawned the birth of NASCAR in 1949 from its illicit roots in moonshine running. In the heart of North Wilkesboro, we found the Brushy Mountain Smokehouse and Creamery, a friendly place that invites the whole family to sit back and enjoy the two things the proprietors love most — smoked, pulled pork barbeque and handcrafted ice cream.

We continue our visit to an early 1900s property in Pope Valley, California that features a rustic farmhouse and a live-in artist’s studio. When working on the renovations of this property, the owner, who is also an artist, paid meticulous attention to the design details of restoring this industrial_farmhouse_glass_shade_pendant-200x300.jpgrustic home. We visited here Monday on our Vintage Barn Light Blog where we enjoyed a peek on the porch where lovely flared milk glass shades hang over a long picnic table. Read More »
