gooseneck_angle_shade_exterior_lighting1-300x291.jpgThe Sourwood Gallery, located in Black Mountain, North Carolina, is a cooperative venture full of creativeness both inside and out. Inside you’ll find paintings, pottery, sculpture, jewelry, turned wood, photography, stained glass, and other examples of fine art. And though the artisans could have focused soley on their own work, they didn’t neglect the outside of the old brick downtown building. Highlighting the sky blue Sourwood Gallery sign and awning are bold and bright red angle shade lights that draw attention from two blocks away. These gooseneck angle shades, much like our Angle Shade Gooseneck Sign Lighting, project from the rooftop out and down to highlight the sign and awning. Read More »

Asheville, North Carolina, a leader in the Buy Local movement, has a vibrant restaurant scene that includes many establishments with a focus on local ingredients. The Early Girl Eatery is one such restaurant that has stayed true to its motto “made from scratch” by creating a wide variety of dishes that reflect true southern cooking with fresh meats, cheeses, and produce.
