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.

Commercial Spaces, Offices Betty Leave a Comment on Rustic Warehouse Pendants Meet Cutting Edge Web Design Firm

One of the things we love most about barn lights, and quite frankly there are a lot of reasons to love them, is the flexibility to take a simple, hand crafted shade design and customize it to give it so many different looks. Take this office for example. It’s the home of Integritive, a webbarn_light_warehouse_pendant_commercial-300x217.jpg design and development company in North Carolina. It’s filled with bright young minds that are creating new e-commerce and e-marketing strategies. And their very modern office space is filled with barn lights!

Barn Light Pendants Play Starring Role in Restaurant Design

Commercial Spaces, Restaurants, Bars, & Breweries Betty Leave a Comment on Barn Light Pendants Play Starring Role in Restaurant Design

The lighting scheme in a restaurant is important in so many ways. It sets a mood, should complement the overall design and feel of a space, and of course, still allow the diners to actually see what is being served. This eatery is oozing with classic details and the barn light pendants play an essential role in the room’s design. Dressed in elegant black from the canopy down to the shade, these pendants, which are very similar to Barn Light Electric’s Fargo Pendant, drop from the high ceiling to mid room. The array of black cords mimic the vertical lines of the woodwork along the back wall and match the tables and chairs quite nicely.barn_light_pendants_commercial-225x300.jpg

Porcelain Barn Lights Add Down Home Style to BBQ Restaurant

Commercial Spaces, Restaurants, Bars, & Breweries Betty L Leave a Comment on Porcelain Barn Lights Add Down Home Style to BBQ Restaurant

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.

Deep Bowl Gooseneck Barn Lights with a Side of BBQ

Commercial Spaces, Restaurants, Bars, & Breweries Betty L Leave a Comment on Deep Bowl Gooseneck Barn Lights with a Side of BBQ

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.

Screen-Shot-2012-02-08-at-1.03.22-PM.pngThe Juke Joint Diner, a 50s style cafe in Melbourne Australia, closed last year and underwent a major transformation. When the doors reopened, it was the new Laurie Dee’s serving up American burgers and frozen custard. Cobi Marsh of Cobi Retail Design Architects took the lead on the redesign of this cafe and one of her goals was to completely change the look and feel of the place.
