Featured Customer | Porcelain Enamel Lighting Adds Unexpected Whimsy to Farmhouse

Porches, Garages, & Home Exteriors, Residential Inspiration Betty 2 Comments on Featured Customer | Porcelain Enamel Lighting Adds Unexpected Whimsy to Farmhouse

Take one “sad-looking house” on a farm in Virginia, add in a recent retiree with a great eye and sense of delight, and you get one amazing makeover!

“I have admired Barn Light Electric fixtures for a long time,” says Susan of Lexington, Virginia, “and when it came time to renovate, I bolted to your website for inspiration.” The original understated porch was removed and a new porch was added along with new roofing, vertical siding, a new door and windows plus an addition to the left of the house. With an interest in vintage lighting, Susan chose porcelain enamel fixtures for her new porch — the Benjamin® Seaside Radial Wave Reflector Stem Light and the matching Goodrich® Seaside Radial Wave Reflector Gooseneck Light.

It’s finally Friday and we’re ready to celebrate! For a change of pace, let’s head back to the Roaring 20s, an era when the economy was thriving, arts and culture were exploring new ideas, and spirits were high even if the distilled kind were outlawed under Prohibition. In a nod to this distinctive time period, the Prohibition Distillery opened its doors last April in Roscoe, New York.
