Indy Pendant and Laramie Barn Light Receive New Designs!

Posted by Ashley on Dec 1, 2012 | 0 comments

Indy Pendant and Laramie Barn Light Receive New Designs!

Ask and you shall receive! Okay, while we’re not magic genies in bottles (or even Mason jars, for that matter), we can work the occasional miracle. First, we started off by manufacturing classic, American made barn lights. It may not seem like much, but in a sea full of “Made in China” tags, we pride ourselves on our quality lighting choices.

And we’ve recently added to our growing selection of American made light fixtures. Undoubtedly, you are familiar with our Barn Light Indy Industrial Pendant. The classic, bare bulb pendant light is a fan favorite. At one point, it was only available with a simple and sleek black socket, with or without a functioning antique key switch. Now, you have the option for a black, nickel, white porcelain, or even a copper socket style. One may think, “What can possibly be so interesting about a socket and light bulb?” With your choice between the new sockets as well as cord styles and Nostalgic Edison bulbs, the Indy Pendant is just as customizable as any of our other American made light fixtures.

Enamelware Cups are New Addition to Industrial Home Utility

Enamelware Cups are New Addition to Industrial Home Utility

If you’re one of many that has been browsing and perusing the Barn Light Electric website for quite some time now, surely you’ve noticed quite a few changes. From what started off as a little “Mom and Pop shop” type of website, we’ve made our pages more user friendly and added on so many different options. Surely, you’ve noticed the new layout and design, and perhaps even the icons on each product listing. Not sure what they mean? Hover over each image for an explanation!

Not only are we adding on new features, we’ve also been expanding our product lines. So long are the days of just American made light fixtures. The Industrial Home Utility section is one of our newest and quickest expanding pages. From wire baskets to industrial stools, these products were selected with our customers in mind. Recently, we’ve added the Enamelware Cup, which is manufactured in the same manner that our Porcelain Barn Lights are made: right here in America.

So what is so great about enamelware cups? More like — what isn’t so great about them! Hand spun by our skilled craftsman here on Florida’s Space Coast, these cups are available in the same brilliant finishes as our light fixtures. Refreshing jadite and yellow lend a retro feel, whereas a solitude black or white contributes to a formal, muted pallet. Got kids who need a sturdy bathroom cup? These cups are a long lasting investment. Need a spot for your makeup by the door for a quick fix? Standard plastic cups are going to fade and crack with the typical wear and tear, but our enamelware cups aren’t even familiar with the phrase “wear and tear.” Don’t believe it? Check out how our porcelain barn lights are actually made, and you will be convinced of the high quality!

DIY Decor for Your Home: Setting the Stage for Fall

Today is officially the first day of Fall. Down here in Florida, we haven’t noticed much of Mother Nature making changes this time of year, but in northern parts of the country, we’re jealous of the fall foliage surrounding your areas! Fall is one of the most fun seasons to decorate for — it could be the warm colors or even the feel-good holidays. After all, who doesn’t love a good scare at Halloween or that giant turkey on the table at Thanksgiving.

DIY Decor for Your Home: Mason Jar Candles

DIY Decor for Your Home: Mason Jar Candles

Mason jars are emerging all over the decorating circuit. From Mason jar wine glasses all the way to unique Ball Jar Pendants, these iconic pieces aren’t just for canning and preserving anymore! Don’t believe it? Just do a quick Google search for “mason jar crafts” and see the possibilities emerge!

The Mason jar candle is a little bit more time consuming than most other DIY projects, but probably the most rewarding! You can use these for a variety of options, maybe even a centerpiece at a rustic country wedding. What you’ll need:

Mason jars

One 12 oz. bag of wax flakes per jar

Scented oil

Wicks

Dowel rods or wooden skewers

Start off by melting the wax over low heat. Keep in mind that it should never smoke, burn or boil. Stir throughout to ensure even consistency and temperature. While the wax is melting, center the wick in your Mason jars and secure them with the rod or skewer. Once the wax has completely melted, add in your scented oil and stir.

At this point, you’ll need to pour the melted wax into each Mason jar. It will take a while for the wax to cool completely, so kick back and relax. Turn on your favorite college football game and play the waiting game! Once the wax has cooled and hardened, remove the securing rod and snip the wick down to a safe length.

These Mason jar candles make great gifts, and are more personable than a standard store bought candle. Add some matching fabric over the top and secure with the lid. All you need now is a gift tag for that special someone!

Don’t forget to vote for Barn Light Electric in the Martha Stewart American Made Awards! You can vote once a day from now until September 24th. Check out our nomination page and vote today! Thank you!
