Vermont is well known for its quaint small towns, and Montgomery, located well north near the Canadian border, is a real gem. Montgomery’s heritage is in the farming and timber industries and is home to a diverse community filled with small businesses, arts and craftspeople, and visitors that flock to the town in all seasons. Today’s Featured Customer looked to the old farms and barns that dot the hillsides as inspiration for his new, small footprint, single family home.

Style Me Sunday: Suddenly Spring

How-To, Style Guides Betty Leave a Comment on Style Me Sunday: Suddenly Spring

We were excited when Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow this year. Winter would end early and this little group of Floridians could finally enjoy the sunshine and temperatures of spring. Strangely, it seems like the opposite is happening…There’s nothing like slipping on a pair of flip flops and shorts only to discover cold winds nipping at your toes!

If you listen closely, you can hear the sound of a movement gaining steam.

If their name sounds familiar, we first visited Red Oxx last fall in a post where we described a remodeling project in one of their facilities.

Right about now, many of you may be dreaming of a warm beach where you could escape the cold, snow, and endless shoveling that mid February brings. Luckily for us, we live in the Sunshine State where the sun is just about guaranteed to make an appearance every day. While that sunshine brings plenty of tourists to our shores, it can also wreak havoc on outdoor lighting that must stand up to extreme heat and light, day in and day out.

Though they live on the eastern seaboard, these homeowners cherish their frequent trips to the Sonoma County wine country. When it came time to replace their dilapidated deck, they turned to Pete Cooper of Spring Creek Design to create a California mission-style design for their new outdoor kitchen and patio. We recently caught up with Pete to talk about the project which includes some post mount lights to create a cafè-type atmosphere.

Custom Gooseneck Arm Adds Distinctive Style to Sign Lighting

Commercial Spaces Betty L Leave a Comment on Custom Gooseneck Arm Adds Distinctive Style to Sign Lighting

If lights grab your attention like they often do to us, you’ll find that many businesses utilize some sort of angle shade lighting for their signage. These shades are highly versatile and are easily customized to fit the different physical parameters a sign may have. These types of sign lights feature a gooseneck arm that comes in a variety of sizes to make sure you get just the right projection and angle of light. You can choose a traditional cone-shaped shade, or perhaps a more rounded head, like an Emblem Shade Gooseneck Light, suits your style.
