When homeowners Carrie and Chris purchased their new home in Rhode Island, they had one goal in mind — to make it their own and to have fun in the process.

“We purposely bought the worst house in the best neighborhood with the intention of starting over from scratch,” Carrie says. “Our house is more than 125 years old and we’ve been conscious of its history when making our design decisions.” While the house renovations took priority, Carrie didn’t ignore the details of the detached garage which also needed updating.

RLM Warehouse Shades, Gooseneck Arms Winning Combination

Porches, Garages, & Home Exteriors, Residential Inspiration Betty L Leave a Comment on RLM Warehouse Shades, Gooseneck Arms Winning Combination

People throw the term “classic” around to describe a lot of different things — from ’60s rock music to Roman civilization to an antique Ford Thunderbird.  The term classic light gets used quite a bit around here and often pertains to the RLM warehouse shade designs from the 1930s. These fixtures were sometimes called barn lights but were found not only on farms but in factories and warehouses too. Roadside gas stations almost always had a gooseneck warehouse shade lighting up the pumps for motorists, and businesses used these versatile fixtures to showcase their signs and goods for sale.

Luckily for most of us, creating an inviting front entryway doesn’t involve rocket science. If you’ve got the bones of your structure in place, all you need are some additional touches that give your home genuine curb appeal and will enhance its value for years to come. Start off by simply keeping the area around your front door uncluttered so visitors don’t have to step over a pile of shoes just to get in. Add some potted plants or seasonal flowers in different sized containers and at different heights to add visual interest.

In the stunning foothills of eastern Washington lies a home in a tranquil meadow where the owners enjoy a sweeping 180-degree view of the mountains that surround them. With a thoughtfully considered plan for how the home would fit seamlessly into its environment, the architects designed two L-shaped buildings that form a courtyard which provides shelter from the wind and privacy from the neighbors. This courtyard serves as a connection between the spaces and offers a place to be outside yet with some protection from the elements.
