Emblem Shades Highlight One Stop Convenience Store

Commercial Spaces, Retail Stores Betty L Leave a Comment on Emblem Shades Highlight One Stop Convenience Store

A couple of weeks ago on the Porcelain Barn Lights Blog, we visited KD’s One Stop, a charming country store in the Fairview community of western North Carolina. The front porch of KD’s features a parade of porcelain warehouse shades similar to our Benjamin® 16″ Sky Chief Porcelain Stem Mount Light in a handsome shade of vintage green. Today we check out what’s above that porch roof which are Emblem Shades in the same vintage green. These not only match the classic tin roof but also complement the colors of the KD’s sign as well.

Commercial Spaces, Retail Stores Betty L Leave a Comment on Galvanized Warehouse Shade Ideal in Remodeled Sports Store

When a local sports store recently underwent a major remodel and facelift, those in charge, no doubt with new sneakers on, jumped on the industrial bandwagon that’s sweeping the design world! Gone are the flourescent lights that once hung from false ceilings above. In their place are shiny new galvanized barn lights, much like our Barn Light Warehouse Pendant, complete with a wire cage for a truly industrial look.

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.

In one of the oldest parts of Boston, the Faneuil Hall Marketplace stands as a testament to the merchants and shoppers who have gathered here for almost four hundred years. One of Boston’s favorite attractions for locals and tourists alike, the Marketplace is an eclectic mix of both independent shops and upscale chains, restaurants, and entertainment venues. In this photo, rows of bright, modern barn lights hang from the atrium ceiling in the South Market Building, one of four historic buildings that make up the Marketplace. Read More »

Outdoor Sign Lights Spotted Atop Hillbilly Harley

Commercial Spaces, Retail Stores Betty L Leave a Comment on Outdoor Sign Lights Spotted Atop Hillbilly Harley

As a tribute to all of the upcoming Biketoberfest parties, today we’re focusing on gooseneck sign lighting found outside Hillbilly Harley. While Hillbilly Harley is actually located in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, we’ve seen sign lights outside many biker shops these days. Porcelain industrial lights and Harley Davidson are like two peas in a pod, even if that pod is a bit unconventional. As both have been around for decades, porcelain Goodrich® Gooseneck Lights were used on the storefront of one of our local motorcycle shops in Titusville too; it was only natural that these two iconic pieces of American history be brought together again!
