You finally hit pay dirt in the endless search for the perfect piece of furniture, but when you maneuver that new couch into position, it suddenly hits you that the wall color is all wrong. And so it goes with remodeling.
Jesi, author of the Kids, Clutter and Chaos blog, purchased a 1950s-style diner booth off Craigslist only to find that her old ceiling pendant did not match her new retro style. Her online search for a new fixture led to Barn Light Electric where she fell in love with the Sydney Cord Hung Pendant.

In Monday’s post, we visited with Kelly in Rochester, Indiana, where she and her husband recently moved into their stunning new pole barn home crafted by AC Builders. The structure sits proudly on the family farm where the couple grow field corn and soybeans and an old blue silo keeps watch in the distance. Kelly chose her half bath off the kitchen to bring the barn look indoors with some farm antiques and an Outback Gooseneck Light highlighting an apron front sink. Today we check out Kelly’s inviting master bath.

For the kids’ bath upstairs, Gina wanted something retro yet clean and modern looking.
