Radial Wave Pendant Makes Waves in Victorian Pool House

Residential Inspiration Betty Leave a Comment on Radial Wave Pendant Makes Waves in Victorian Pool House

radial_wave_cord_hung_pendant.jpgThough many of us are cozying in for the fall and thinking more about sweaters and soup than lounging by the pool, we were intrigued by this Victorian Pool House recently featured on Houzz. With a fireplace, wide screen tv, a pool table, and comfy reading chairs, you need not even get your toes wet to fully enjoy this warm and inviting space. We blogged about the kitchen recently which features some distinctive schoolhouse shades but today, the radial wave shade hanging in the foyer alongside this twisting iron spiral staircase caught our eye. This fixture adds yet another delicate detail to this thoughtfully planned space.

Deep Bowl Pendants Add Industrial Touch to Laundry Room

Laundry Rooms & Mudrooms, Residential Inspiration Betty Leave a Comment on Deep Bowl Pendants Add Industrial Touch to Laundry Room

deep_bowl_pendant_lighting_laundry_room_lighting.jpgIn many homes, the laundry room is often an afterthought. Where can we tuck a washer and dryer and, if we’re lucky, a deep sink for hand washing and a table for folding?

Warehouse Shades Shine on the Industrial Side of Town

Commercial Spaces, Restaurants, Bars, & Breweries Betty Leave a Comment on Warehouse Shades Shine on the Industrial Side of Town

Not so long ago, when someone described an urban area as the “industrial side of town,” that was code for a seedier part of the city, an area dotted with abandoned buildings, shady businesses, and warehouses with broken windows. Thankfully, in more recent times, the word industrial has taken on a new connotation. The wildly popular design trend offers up straightforward, simple, and refurbished spaces with a gritty edge. Nothing fussy or pretentious about it.

Barn Pendant Lights Take on Both Traditional, Modern Looks

Commercial Spaces, Restaurants, Bars, & Breweries Betty Leave a Comment on Barn Pendant Lights Take on Both Traditional, Modern Looks

Classic barn lighting has been in use throughout this country since the 1930s and 1940s when it was most often found on farms, at roadside gas stations, and in warehouses and factories where solid, dependable lighting was necessary for the work at hand. Lighting companies didn’t scrimp on materials in those days but manufactured lighting that could withstand years of use no matter the weather or harsh barn_pendant_lighting_commercial-819x1024.jpgworking environment where the lights were hung.
