A recent post on Remodelista’s design blog showed vintage lighting fixtures hanging above the center island of an open kitchen at Sitka & Spruce, a casual restaurant in Seattle. Each of the vintage lights uses a metal cap, known as a “screw heel” to connect the RLM warehouse shade to the socket. The screw heel and green porcelain enamel finish on these vintage lights complements the rustic, industrial elements of the restaurant. Such examples are the long butcher block table, original factory windows and white brick walls.vintage-lighting-fixtures1-300x281.jpg Read More »

When the sun goes down, the gooseneck lights provide focused lighting in a concise area to make an immediate impression. Read More »

Outdoor lighting, like the featured gooseneck lights today, give Mimi’s Cafe a remarkably unique design that stands out among the rest of the national chain restaurants.

Much like ourselves, Mimi’s service and specialties are based around the early to mid 1900’s. According to Mimi’s website, each of the cafes (currently found in 24 different states), was built with rustic décor and a colorful exterior inspired from a World War 2 era French Country Cottage. In several locations along the exterior walls, gooseneck lights resembling the The Original Barn Light and the Rodeo Warehouse Shade are strategically placed to shine above on the banister and the company’s logo. The charming look of the lights at the front entrance add to the character and ambiance at the cafe known for its detailed decor and old fashioned cooking. Read More »

In this photo from the Library of Congress, you’ll see a flush mount warehouse pendant attached to the ceiling beam. It has a shallow bowl shape that’s virtually identical to the Ivanhoe® Aero Porcelain Pendant!
