Wall Sconce, Modern Ceiling Fan Team Up in Outdoor Space

Porches, Garages, & Home Exteriors, Residential Inspiration Betty L Leave a Comment on Wall Sconce, Modern Ceiling Fan Team Up in Outdoor Space

Long, narrow spaces can be tricky when it comes to lighting yet we found a beautiful example of an outdoor living space that relies on space-saving barn wall sconces to provide gentle, ambient lighting. Instead of adding light fixtures to the ceiling fans which would overpower this restful space, the designer opted for these sconces that hug the walls and provide soft, unobtrusive lighting. These sconces are very similar to our Barn Light Arlington Sconce, a low-profile fixture characterized by a decorative wall plate along with a slender gooseneck arm. Offered in 8″ or 10″ shade sizes, the Arlington would make the perfect addition to porches such as this, garages, workshops, or even indoors in bathrooms or hallways. Available in authentic powder coat finish colors ranging from Textured Black to Barn Red and Industrial Grey, this American-made light adds a hint of nostalgia to even the most modern spaces!

Vintage Belt-Driven Ceiling Fan Puts New Spin on High Style

Bedrooms, Residential Inspiration Betty L Leave a Comment on Vintage Belt-Driven Ceiling Fan Puts New Spin on High Style

Some home decor pieces just make you stop and say, “Wow!” when you enter a room. That’s the reaction most people have when they see a vintage, belt-driven fan up close for the first time. These ceiling fans first appeared in the United States in the mid to late 1800s and were powered not by an electric motor but rather running water used in conjunction with a turbine to drive a system of belts to turn the two-blade units. This system could move several fan units so they were quite popular in stores and restaurants especially in the hot and humid southern regions of the country. Today, with the vintage rage is full swing, reproductions of these fans are a popular option to the standard big-box store fans found in so many homes. Luckily, running water is no longer needed to power these beauties!

Modern Ceiling Fan Stirs Up Warm Lowcountry Breezes

Porches, Garages, & Home Exteriors, Residential Inspiration Betty Leave a Comment on Modern Ceiling Fan Stirs Up Warm Lowcountry Breezes

There’s no place quite like the South Carolina Lowcountry, so named because most of the region is at or below sea level. Located along the South Carolina coast and including the sea islands, the Lowcountry is world famous for its historic cities and natural beauty. Charleston, Beaufort, Hilton Head, Seabrook Island and other communities all attract millions of visitors each year. And while the beautiful beaches and intracoastal waterways are stunning, the summer season is often scorching and still. What better way to put a cool spin on the summer than with a modern ceiling fan like this one!

An Industrial Galvanized Ceiling Fan in a Raw, Converted Attic

Living Rooms, Residential Inspiration Betty 2 Comments on An Industrial Galvanized Ceiling Fan in a Raw, Converted Attic

Screen-Shot-2012-03-02-at-9.48.42-AM.pngIn the past, attics were used as tiny crawl spaces filled with holiday decorations and who knows what breed of rodents. For some, this may still be the case, but many homeowners are taking advantage of that extra square footage. Some are converting the top level of their homes into guest bedrooms. While this is a great idea for those who are constantly entertaining out-of-town visitors, we love the concept of incorporating a game room into that tip top story.
