Porcelain Pendant Lighting for Bright White Laundry Room

Laundry Rooms & Mudrooms, Residential Inspiration Betty L Leave a Comment on Porcelain Pendant Lighting for Bright White Laundry Room

Most laundry rooms are not blessed with abundant amounts of natural light. Often relegated to the basement or an interior wall or closet, the laundry room must be illuminated by more artificial means of lighting but that does not necessarily mean boring, big-box-store fixtures. Check out this bright white laundry room that is indeed blessed with some natural light coming in from the next room. But to supply the necessary “did that stain I pretreated really come out on the first try” lighting, a beautiful porcelain barn light hangs from above. This shade resembles our Ivanhoe® Sky Chief Warehouse Porcelain Pendant, one of the most popular fixtures in our line of Ivanhoe® Porcelain Pendant Lighting.

Vintage Porcelain Lighting Sets Mood in Victorian Wine Cellar

Home Tours, Residential Inspiration Betty L Leave a Comment on Vintage Porcelain Lighting Sets Mood in Victorian Wine Cellar

vintage_cord_hung_porcelain_pendant.jpgSad as it may be, most homes don’t come with a wine cellar. Much less a wine cellar that oozes with warmth, style, and a moody vibe that lets you know as soon as you cross the threshold that this is a place to slow down, relax, and breathe —  just like a good wine. This gorgeous setting is part of a 126-year-old home located in Connecticut’s Pine Meadow Historic District. Known as the Philip Chapin House after its first owner, it is named in the National Register of Historic Places as “an excellent example of Victorian domestic architecture.” The owners have spent decades preserving the historic details of this home and, as you can see here, chose classic porcelain lighting to set the mood.

“This was a complete remodel of our kitchen,” Beth says. “We very much changed the layout and took out a back hall closet to gain some much needed space.” And like so many other homeowners who are making improvements to their space, Beth turned to magazines and websites for inspiration for the kitchen lighting.

Gooseneck Warehouse Shades Accent Barn-Style Garage

Barns & Workshops, Residential Inspiration Betty L Leave a Comment on Gooseneck Warehouse Shades Accent Barn-Style Garage

Nothing makes our eyes light up like seeing bold, beautiful warehouse shades highlighting the side of a barn. And while this barn is actually a garage, we love the vernacular of this structure located in a small, western Connecticut town tucked into the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains. From the traditional barn doors to the cupola on top, this building needed nothing more than a classic light like an RLM warehouse shade to complete the look.

Barn Light Warehouse Shade Never Loses its Timeless Charm

Dining Rooms, Residential Inspiration Betty L Leave a Comment on Barn Light Warehouse Shade Never Loses its Timeless Charm

When you’re immersed day-to-day in the barn lighting business, you tend to notice vintage and industrial lighting in all sorts of places. At the new business around the corner that installed handsome gooseneck lights over the entryway or in a charming coastal cottage that boasts the perfect nautical lighting on the porch. Old, black-and-white movies are also a great place to spot vintage RLM warehouse designs. So recently when I was browsing an online catalog for gas fireplaces, I was immdiately distracted by the beautiful porcelain barn light hanging in the background of this picture.  What an excellent choice for this setting!
