No matter what kind of a day you’re having, nothing brings a smile faster than a big, bold splash of yellow. Whether it’s the brilliant sun, a field of goldenrod, or a new lemony quilt on the bed, yellow makes any space cheerful and bright. When the ladies of Karen Kimmel Studio and Crafting Community moved into their shared quarters in Atwater Village in Los Angeles, they used a Buttery Yellow pendant from Barn Light Electric to help transform the rather cold, masculine space into a colorful and dynamic working environment that allows the group’s overabundance of creativity to flow.

Working inside an office each day is a fact of life for millions of people. While some professions allow you to be outside all day long — you lucky landscapers — others must earn their living inside. This doesn’t mean you can’t have a taste of the natural environment in your space as evidenced by the newly designed office spaces for LogicMonitor in downtown Santa Barbara, California.

If their name sounds familiar, we first visited Red Oxx last fall in a post where we described a remodeling project in one of their facilities.
