If you missed this post last week, it’s worth a look. Our friend Erin, who writes The Sunny Side Up blog, chose the Drake Retro Desk Lamp for her son’s room and the results are fabulous! Erin created the perfect industrial vibe with a navy-and-gray palette accented by pops of orange on the nightstand. It’s a look her young son loves now and will easily grow with over the years.
As Erin browsed the Barn Light Electric website looking at lamps, our 12-Piece Dipped Enamel Breakfast Set also caught her eye.

When Nancy and her husband Charlie moved into their Charlottesville, Virginia, home back in 2013, it was a homecoming of sorts for Charlie.
“This was my husband’s grandfather’s house which was built in 1910,” Nancy says. “Charlie lived here until he was six years old and remembers having no central heat or indoor plumbing.”
Luckily, the outhouse Charlie remembers off the back porch has been replaced with indoor plumbing. The couple has been renovating the home, updating rooms to make them more user friendly while still keeping the bones and farmhouse style of the home intact. The kitchen underwent the biggest transformation.

New siding and windows are a sure-fire way to spruce up a 20+ year-old home. Matt raised the bar, however, with the addition of American-made lighting.
“We wanted something American made and solidly built overall,” Matt says. “Not something you get at a big box store. I didn’t want to be replacing lights anytime soon.”
Matt started with his garage where he chose two Goodrich® Bomber Porcelain Gooseneck Lights. He customized these porcelain enamel lights with 15″ shades, Black finish, and G11 gooseneck arms.

Don’t look now but we’re on the downhill side of July. Seriously.
If you haven’t tackled your summer remodeling projects yet, we understand. Traveling, spending time with the kids, and being outdoors is way more fun than refinishing cabinets or painting the guest room.
But you can still work some makeover magic in your home without spending a lot of time or money. An easy way to spruce up a room and give your space a fresh look is with lighting. But don’t worry about scheduling the electrician (he’s probably at the beach anyway). We’re talking about some of the most stylish, easy-to-customize, plug-in lighting you’ve ever...

Sometimes you have to raise the roof.
Not raise a ruckus, but literally raise the roof.
That’s exactly what Jenny and her husband did when they tackled a gut renovation of their Millbrook, New York, home. The major renovation included an addition and rebuild of the second floor. The result is a stunning 6,500-square-foot modern farmhouse chock full of laid-back style.
“We were going for a casual, rustic feel throughout with fixtures and finishes that still look good even as style trends change over time,” Jenny says. “Remodeling and design are hobbies that I love and I put together idea books on Houzz to design the spaces.”

So who remembers the 2017 Pantone color of the year? How about 2016 when they chose not one, but two, colors of the year?
Anybody?
Color trends may come and quickly go, but Black is one hue that will never, in our humble opinion, go out of style. (By the way, Pantone picked Greenery for this year taking over from last year’s baby blue and pink tones of Serenity and Rose Quartz.)
Many people consider Black a “safe” color. Our sales team hears that quite often — “I’m afraid to pick a color, so I just want Black.”
