Porcelain Enamel Sconces: Generous Style in a Small Package

How-To, Lighting 101 Betty L Leave a Comment on Porcelain Enamel Sconces: Generous Style in a Small Package

If you are a regular reader of this blog, you know that when it comes to exterior lighting, porcelain lighting is a wise choice thanks to its long-lasting, glass enamel coating that never fades in the sun and is easy to maintain.

A simple soap-and-water clean up is all it takes to keep porcelain enamel looking like new. This is a huge plus for business owners, and home owners for that matter, who don’t want to buy lights that fade and fall apart within six months.

Deep Bowl Porcelain Pendants Make a Barn Light Debut

How-To, Lighting 101 Betty L Leave a Comment on Deep Bowl Porcelain Pendants Make a Barn Light Debut

All white rustic décor is being seen around the design world right now, and rightfully so! These bleached out rooms give an ethereal, calming feeling to anybody who enters. This eat-in kitchen featured in Elle Décor is essentially the perfect example. Between the wide plank floors, whitewashed wainscoting and the mismatched chairs, this room is practically screaming industrial farmhouse at us, and we love it!You can’t help to wonder what memories must have been made here, as it’s plain to see that it’s a well lived in kitchen!
