Porcelain Deep Bowl Shades Give Classic Touch of Americana

Commercial Spaces, Restaurants, Bars, & Breweries Betty L Leave a Comment on Porcelain Deep Bowl Shades Give Classic Touch of Americana

The farm-to-table movement is gaining momentum across the country not only because fresh simply tastes better, but because restaurants typically love supporting their local economy. A strong local economy means people eat out more often! Buying local helps your neighbors thrive and is also easier on the environment as less travel means less energy consumption and less pollution. 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.

“I wanted to have a rustic look to the lighting with a modern twist to it,” Josh says. “Lighting is so important to a retail business to showcase your products but also to help convey the sense of style you want theoutback_warehouse_pendant_commercial-300x268.jpg interior to show.” On a visit to Asheville’s Lexington Avenue Brewery (another satisfied Barn Light Electric customer!), Josh found his lighting. “I really liked the style of their lighting, and the general manager gave me Barn Light Electric’s information.”

Emblem Shades Add Classic Statement to Disney Restaurant

Commercial Spaces, Restaurants, Bars, & Breweries Betty L Leave a Comment on Emblem Shades Add Classic Statement to Disney Restaurant

At the Raglan Road™ Irish Pub & Restaurant at Walt Disney World’s Pleasure Island, visitors are treated to authentic Irish everything from the moment they walk in the door. From the celebrity Irish chef and his fabulous fare to the Celtic souvenirs and Irish jigs that bring a wee bit of the old country to Orlando. However, before they walk in the door, visitors are greeted by genuine gooseneck sign lighting that beckons them in from the crowded streets. These fixtures are almost identical to Barn Light Electric’s Emblem Shades, part of our gooseneck sign lighting collection that is hand crafted right here in America.

The Fabulous Frankie Bones Restaurant and Lounge captures this feeling perfectly with “an atmosphere fondly reminiscent of times past … but never forgotten.” With locations in Asheville, North Carolina and on Hilton Head Island in South Carolina, Frankie Bones offers classic American-Italian style fare and fun.
