One of our hottest porcelain barn lights, the Goodrich® Dino, was featured in a recent post on Cactus Creek Daily – a fabulous online blog!
Designing with red is no easy feat, but when it’s done right, you’re going to have an amazing space. Fancy, who runs Cactus Creek Daily, paired red hued items together in honor of Valentine’s Day 2011. What she came up with is the perfect amount of red accessories to create a work space that’s alive and ready to get the job done!

Many warehouse shades similar to the barn pendants sold at Barn Light Electric Co.® are featured on Design Sponge – an interior design blog.

At Barn Light Electric Co.®, we apply the same design philosophy to our vintage inspired light fixtures. Our barn pendants are based on the RLM warehouse shades that were originally popular around 1930.
