Within the coastal communities surrounding the Grand Traverse Bay resides a mix of beaches, resorts, and rolling woodlands that weave in and out of the area around Lake Michigan. This densely covered area finds itself in a wash of color throughout the seasons, highlighted during fall by the brightly colored leaves of the maple and spruce trees around the lake. Amidst this serene setting resides an incredible example of a newly constructed energy-efficient modern farmhouse, which combines modern styling with a classic design, creating the perfect platform to experiment in this new hybrid style of design. Although the interior displays a more modern elegance, the exterior of this Michigan home maintains the appearance of a early to mid 20th century farm house. Featured in the winter edition of Energy-Smart Homes, this home displays a large amount energy saving ideas that can be used to transform an ordinary Victorian home into a unique blend of shabby chic and contemporary elegance. Immediately setting this home apart is the vibrant use of complimentary colors, which separates the many angles of this house, providing a split from tradition. The mix of earth tones that adorn the siding on this project act as a catalyst to the red multipurpose rooms and the red barn inspired garage. This garage becomes a focal point at night due to the use of a pair of galvanized 20†Rodeo Warehouse Shades mounted on a matching set of HL-C Gooseneck Arms. Much consideration was taken when designing this home, as seen with how the galvanized lights tie into the tin roof line of this perfectly constructed work of art. This rugged industrial detail not only adds to the exterior appearance of this home, but additionally provides a glimpse to the interior, tying into the modern elements within. It is safe to say that this project was worthy of receiving the attention that Energy-Smart Homes Magazine gave them, and we were excited to see that this type of lighting was considered for this innovative creation.

For many Americans the harsh climate of winter has resurfaced and struck with great force, already winter storms have caused mass accumulation of snow and ice in much of the Midwest and New England. Deep freezes and blizzards have blanketed the ground with a fresh layer of snow, hiding the natural beauty of these areas until spring, and constantly challenging the durability of metal in this outdoor gauntlet. This fact alone has caused an increased interest in our lights, with most customers calling and asking about the life span of our lighting especially in regards to the record lows experienced this winter. Unlike our competitors who’s lights rust after one winter, our Barn Light Electric fixtures are American made with the most rugged materials and finishes for moments like the one featured in this customer submission. Located at the base of New Hampshire, just 10 miles outside of Manchester, is the small town of Candia that is home to this classic example of vintage New England style. This classic 109-year-old New Englander barn received a facelift this fall thanks to this customers desire to restore the original appearance of this piece of history. In addition to bringing back the beauty of this barn, the need for a light to reflect the same rustic attributes from the past and be able to take the most daunting winter storms was needed. A vintage look was maintained through the use of one of our Old Dixie Barn Lights that project outward with the use of an HL-H Gooseneck Arm. Choosing the Dark Green powder coated finish to compliment the red barn was ideal from a historic perspective, but also offered enough of a contrast to the bold red façade and white trim. Although covered by thick snow this season, the durable composition and powder coated finish of the Old Dixie insures that this lights classic charm will be around for years to come regardless of the inhospitable conditions outside.
