Barn Wall Sconces Add Distinctive Look To Commercial Offices

Commercial Spaces, Retail Stores Betty Leave a Comment on Barn Wall Sconces Add Distinctive Look To Commercial Offices

In a mixed-use development project, commercial developers work under a complicated mix of time, money, and regulatory constraints to get a job completed. They must consider traffic, noise, crime, parking, and functionality when mixing residential, commercial, industrial, office, and institutional spaces. Mixed-use developments are often created where jobs, housing, and commercial activities are located close together, such as a downtown area, and are considered well suited for retail and small offices.

Rustic Sconce Adds Welcoming Nautical Touch to Grand Entryway

Porches, Garages, & Home Exteriors, Residential Inspiration Betty Leave a Comment on Rustic Sconce Adds Welcoming Nautical Touch to Grand Entryway

The entryway to this shingle-style home in Minnetonka, Minnesota, makes you want to linger at the front door and just take it all in — the warm wood and intricate detailing of the door, the generous windows that curve and wrap around the porch, the inset above with an overhead light offering a welcoming glow. We also love the nod to the Atomic Era with the rustic sconce hung right above the doorbell. With its distinctive cast guard and glass design, this sconce reflects aspects of rustic, vintage, and industrial designs and is suitable for a variety of home styles.

In yesterday’s blog, we introduced you to beautiful Tybee Island, a barrier island just east of Savannah, Georgia and within spitting distance of the South Carolina border. Our friends Joel and Erika Snayd at Rethink Design Studio created one of the charming and inviting beach homes on the island, and today we visit the back yard of this two-story home. The architecture on the island is casual and friendly, but in the true Snayd style, this home features fresh and inspiring details.

New Barn Lights Draw Inspiration from Vintage Colors & Styles

At the Factory, New Products Betty Leave a Comment on New Barn Lights Draw Inspiration from Vintage Colors & Styles

Drawing inspiration from color is something that we love to do here at Barn Light Electric. For example, one of our most popular finishes, Jadite, was inspired by vintage dishes and other cooking supplies from the 1950s. However, color inspiration isn’t the only way to draw upon those ideas floating around in your head. Check out this photo from Apartment Therapy’s feature, Going Green. An undoubtedly vintage stove bears a great vintage green tone. Whether it’s authentic or a reproduction, we’re obsessed!

Rustic Sconce Lends Industrial Touch to Architects’ Studio

Porches, Garages, & Home Exteriors, Residential Inspiration Betty L Leave a Comment on Rustic Sconce Lends Industrial Touch to Architects’ Studio

industrial_static_topless_sconce.jpgIf you love the industrial farmhouse look with its special blend of warm, inviting wood tones and sleek, sometimes harsh finishes, then you will love this architect’s studio located in Vermont on the shores of Lake Champlain. From the bowels of an old, dilapidated barn arose an open architectural studio filled with natural light, exposed beams, passive solar heating, and many industrial touches throughout including particle board flooring. Greeting clients at the door is a handsome rustic wall sconce straight from the Atomic Era. With its cast guard and glass design, this sconce looks very similar to our very popular Barn Light Industrial Static Topless Sconce. We love how the galvanized finish fits with the ribbed siding on the exterior wall along with the wood and metal railings. Read More »

Rustic Sconces Enhance Sleek, Simple Cabin in Pacific Northwest

Porches, Garages, & Home Exteriors, Residential Inspiration Betty Leave a Comment on Rustic Sconces Enhance Sleek, Simple Cabin in Pacific Northwest

cgu_industrial_static_topless_sconce.jpgWhile many of us dream of an island getaway place that features palm trees and sugar white sands, there are other islands on this planet that offer the seclusion, serenity, and peacefulness we seek. On Salt Spring Island, which lies near the southernmost tip of British Columbia, Canada, a secluded, one-room cabin serves as a simple yet restful respite from the everyday world. Its sleek design melds perfectly into its rugged surroundings with cedar-lined ceilings and floors, a tiny kitchen, and outdoor shower. And though rustic, the outdoor shower features hot water thanks to a propane tank and a cozy woodstove offers plenty of heat just a few steps away.
