Professional’s Corner | Porcelain Warehouse Shade Adds Pop of Color to Chic Nursery

Nurseries & Playrooms, Residential Inspiration Betty 4 Comments on Professional’s Corner | Porcelain Warehouse Shade Adds Pop of Color to Chic Nursery

Who says nurseries have to be all pastel pink, blue, or mint green? Certainly not Alykhan Velji, a Calgary designer who created this stunning nursery for a client using a sophisticated palette of grey, white, and yellow. And tying the room full of textures, patterns, and fabrics together is what Alykhan calls a “gorgeous and unique light fixture that really plays a big role.” That fixture is none other than a 12″ Benjamin® Dino Porcelain Stem Mount Light, part of Barn Light Electric’s collection of Porcelain Enamel Lighting.

Commercial Spaces, Offices Betty 2 Comments on Featured Customer | Porcelain Lighting Chosen for Natural, Honest Quality

It’s a short but scenic, 4.5-mile ride over the Bay Bridge to cross from Annapolis to Kent Island, Maryland, but it is truly a world away. Maryland’s Eastern Shore is dotted with farmlands, forests, and quaint small towns like Oxford which is home to the Preservation Green Horticultural Center. This center is a working studio built last year under the guidance of Philip Logan, architect of record for Preservation Green LLC, and features classic porcelain enamel lighting.

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.

Rustic Pendants Add Industrial Style to Coastal Beach House

Residential Inspiration Betty L Leave a Comment on Rustic Pendants Add Industrial Style to Coastal Beach House

One reason the industrial farmhouse look is so desirable is because it creates a warm, inviting space that is neither fussy nor formal. The look can be easily achieved in a variety of home styles from cabins in Montana to urban lofts in Chicago. Take this beach home in coastal North Carolina for example. This space offers a strikingly simple balance of nautical and utilitarian touches that make it a comfortable yet appealing space. Our friend, Philip R. Thomas, who is both owner and builder, chose some classic rustic pendants to accent his butcher block island. The metal of the pendants complements the abundance of wood in the space and gives a nod to the coastal vernacular.
