When Brian and Laura, of Newton, Massachusetts, bought a 1912, two-family home, it was in desperate need of TLC after decades of rental abuse.

Drawing from the nautical and industrial lighting fixtures of the early 20th century, our collection of Rustic Lighting offers a rugged alternative to flimsy, big box store lights.
