Featured Customer | Modern Wall Sconces Add Sleek Touch to 19th Century Home
When we last visited Carrie, author of the blog Hazardous Design, she and her husband were busy pushing their late 1800s-era home into the 21st century one space at a time. That post described the garage makeover which included some fresh paint and one of our All Weather Gooseneck Farm Lights.
Today we return to the home where Carrie has been focusing her latest efforts on the front entryway. As with many renovations in an older home, the first steps included removing dated materials. In Carrie’s case, this meant steaming away a busy vinyl wallpaper and stripping the staircase down to bare wood. With a relatively clean palette, the couple repainted the ceiling and walls, stained the stairs “dark, dark, dark” as Carrie says, and cut picture molding to add interest and texture to walls.

As a lighting manufacturer, we pride ourselves on the versatility seen in our selection. Barn Light Electric Company is chock full of a variety of selections; we’re not just what the name suggests — barn lights. While our primary focus is on vintage, reproduction gooseneck and pendant lights, we also offer a number of modern and Victorian lamps. As a fresh start to your weekend, we’re breaking away from the ordinary warehouse shade and putting the spotlight on our favorite modern wall sconces!
As the epitome of space age and futuristic lighting, the Wall Mount Citron Sconce is shown on the left in a bright and funky trans green finish. As a wall sconce that is rated for wet locations, the Citron is the perfect addition to a pool deck. Affix a few around exterior doors, add a couple of bright chaise lounges, and you’ve got an instant South Beach atmosphere.
Next up is a simple yet sleek sconce. The Basin ADA Sconce is comprised of a unique metal grid along with white etched glass for a soft glow. But what does the ADA stand for? That means that this fixture is compatible with American Disability Association’s building standards, with only a four-inch projection from the wall. While this space age sconce would look interesting on a covered patio, we would prefer to see two of them in a half bath, flanking the vanity mirror.
Going back to the Miami flare of the Citron Sconce, we feature the Tabular Square Sconce. If you’ve ever watched an episode of CSI: Miami or even walked around the Art Deco capital, similar geometric designs are practically everywhere! The Tabular Square Sconce has a pale turquoise tint, providing a soothing glow to the surrounding spaces. Be sure to check out the coordinating bath bar to streamline your home lighting options.
Memorial Day is the perfect time to purchase new lights for your space during our annual Memorial Day Sale which runs from May 25-May 28. Use the discount code MEMORIAL12 to take 10% off any applicable fixture. See website for details!

Everyone knows the phrase, “Never judge a book by its cover.” This time of the year, many home’s curb appeal is lacking due to piles of snow and ice. In turn, this is precisely the best time to work on the interior of your home so that you can make a strong impression with visitors rushing in to escape the cold.
Creating an inviting entryway is far from difficult. A console table is a must for dropping keys on and displaying family photos or memories. Here, a few glass candlesticks add a touch of timeless elegance too. The occasional chairs that flank the console table offer a classy place to take off winter boots or to drop off those heavy coats. Don’t forget to add some sort of art as well – this can give your guests a great sense of who you are. From department stores to online art galleries, prints of your favorite work are available everywhere, so if you can’t afford an original just yet, there should always an affordable alternative.

Builder-basic homes – that’s what we like to call them anyway. You know, the string of homes scattered about a new subdivision in town? They’re built quickly and are perfect for young couples or new families wanting that new home feel without breaking their budget or having to undergo major renovations, but there can sometimes be one downfall: the lack of personalization. Sure, some construction companies do let you customize certain elements like hardware and appliances, but in the end, it’s not really a home until you can make it your own.
