Building a new home brings on a host of decisions once the bones are in place. What type of floors, countertops, cabinetry, and yes, what type of lighting will go in each space? When Aaron set about building his dream home in the community of Wild Dunes Resort on the Isle of Palms in South Carolina, he had plenty of lighting decisions to make.
“Having American made, locally sourced lighting with LED were all important aspects to this build,” Aaron says. “The ability to customize colors, castings, and illumination were highly appreciated too!” Aaron works for Realty Holding Group who provided extensive design build services for his new...

What’s the best thing about an old barn? Definitely the character.
The worst thing? Outdated materials, worn out wiring, and critters that sneak in via every nook and cranny.

It’s funny sometimes how a whim can change your life. On a beautiful spring day back in 2013, Caroline and her family decided to take a drive along a no-outlet road just a few miles from their home in Columbus, Ohio.
