When a dilapidated old barn in Marin County, California, came onto the market five years ago, few people took notice. Built in 1886 as a stagecoach stop and in more recent years serving as a pottery studio, the old structure needed lots of TLC, but the site is blessed with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. When LA native Mindy Marin saw the place, she knew she was home. She snapped it up and started the rehab process knowing that barn lighting would have a special place here.

We visited this kitchen once before in our Industrial Farmhouse blog, but we didn’t give you the full picture of the kitchen entryway which features a dandy little barn wall sconce that highlights not only the doorway but the chalkboard wall that serves as place for impromptu notes and reminders. The galvanized sconce fits right in with the barn pendants and gooseneck lighting in the kitchen proper.

Every April, taste buds starts tingling and toes start tapping in anticipation of the annual Barbeque Cookoff and Bluegrass Jam at the Western North Carolina Farmer’s Market. For two years running, Okie Dokies Smokehouse has taken home the Grand Champion honors in the cookoff and, as a local favorite, looks to repeat next spring. The Smokehouse has two locations near Asheville, and at this location in the Swannanoa Valley, rustic wall sconces add as much flavor to the front porch and outdoor dining area as the sauce does to the ribs!

Rustic Sconce Adds Nautical Touch to Bathroom Spaces

Bathrooms, Residential Inspiration Betty 2 Comments on Rustic Sconce Adds Nautical Touch to Bathroom Spaces

In last Thursday’s blog, we visited a cabin settled into a peaceful valley in eastern Washington. Located in a beautiful meadow surrounded by mountains, the thoughtful layout of this home takes advantage of sweeping views up and down the valley. In the previous blog, we admired the post-mounted rustic sconces placed throughout a large courtyard that connects the two structures forming the L-shaped home.

commercial_ceiling_fan_kitchen.jpgIn yesterday’s blog, we visited with Dana of House Tweaking fame where she and her handy husband are tackling the major renovation of a 1950s brick rancher. Downsizing from a McMansion, as Dana calls her former home, the couple are making the most of their smaller space which helps them satisfy financial goals plus cuts the commute time for Dad so he can spend more time with their three kids.
