Featured Customer | Classic Barn Wall Sconce Adds Modern Style with Flared Shade
Katrin, of Berkeley, California, had been playing with the thought of a barn light above her aluminum, frosted glass garage door for quite awhile.
“I wanted something modern, but not too modern,” Katrin explains. “I have always loved the concept of mixing very cool and modern items with something more traditional. I wanted something that would have some warmth to it.” When she searched online for barn lights, she discovered Barn Light Electric’s website.

Barn doors have been popping up in places other than the big building on the back 40 for some time now. Barn doors are rustic yet with an industrial edge, and this custom-made, knotty pine door features a clear stain that lets the grain, knots, and character of the wood show through beautifully. Adding to the barn flavor is the Wall Sconce just inside the next room.
This dandy little fixture looks very much like our Austin Wall Sconce, a compact shade that is perfect for hallways, entryways, or tight spaces like powder rooms or a child’s reading nook. The galvanized finish adds a nice metallic touch to the brightness of the room and pulls the barn feel through the door. Wall-hugging sconces are a great choice to highlight artwork such as this without overpowering the space.

Fill your home with holiday cheer this time of year with these fireplace and mantle decor ideas.
Where do you hang your stockings? We’ve seen quite the gamut of locations. From traditional mantels, stair railings, and bookshelves to free hanging stockings–there’s something promising about these little places just waiting to be stuffed with knick knacks and candy. For today’s Style Me Sunday, we’re creating a mantel piece that will rival your Christmas tree for center of attention.
Our cozy mantel was inspired by this Faux Fireplace re-do from the The Rooster and The Hen blog. Flocked Fraser Fir Garland with a light misting of white snow looks adorable draped across the corners. Vintage inspired wall sconces like the Chesapeake Bay Mirrored Wall Sconce and the Norwalk Wall Sconce both feature Nostalgic Edison style bulbs that give off a warm, almost candle-like glow.
Michelle Fritz’s Burlap Stockings are so shabby chic and look lovely besides other vintage accessories like the Bullit Mantel Alarm Clock. We love her idea of displaying fresh greenery in the stockings before Santa arrives to fill them with goodies!
Industrial home goods like the Tapering Zinc Containers add a little edge while being practical for storing fireplace accessories. The Industrial Metal Adjustable Stool is great for extra seating, but can also be used as a mantel-side table to hold your charming Enamelware Cups.
Speaking of stockings, our 2012 Holiday Sale is still going strong for another 12 days! If you haven’t taken advantage of our free shipping, now’s the time. As an additional bonus, we’re giving you 10% off all American made Porcelain Enamel lighting fixtures. Just enter the code STOCKING12 to redeem the discount!

At some point, we’ve all watched our favorite design show and said, “I could never do that.” Today we took a little inspiration from one of our many favorite TV shows – Extreme Makeover Home Edition. Every Sunday viewers tune in to see Ty Pennington and his design team’s awesome creations, with the ultimate goal being to help a very deserving family. A few weeks ago, Barn Light Electric had the opportunity to donate lighting for the Williams family in Pine Mountain Valley, Georgia. Josie, who is 8, is a mini cowgirl at heart, and received a very cool Hayloft inspired room (see finished photo below).
To bring a similar room into your home, we’d like to introduce today’s Style Guide that is devoted to the ultimate cowgirl. We selected bedding similar to The Hayloft – something bright, colorful, and utilized old, rustic patterns. Topping off the bed, we’d suggest throwing on some decorative cow print throw pillows. Although pricey, you can choose authentic cow skin or a cheaper Etsy alternative – we like Etsy’s!
Light up your Hayloft with none other than our Barn Lights! To be placed on both sides of the bed, we selected two Barn Light Province Cast Guard Sconces in our Cruiser Green finish. Sconces next to the bed can serve as accent lighting and can be used for bedtime stories and future late night studying. By selecting a frosted glass option, a softer glow of light will be released. If your little cowgirl has a desk for coloring or homework, we recommend the Machine Age Metal Table Lamp. By combining a warehouse style shade as the top, and selecting a raw, galvanized finish, a rustic, traditional country feel is brought into the area.
Complete your room by adding accessories and authentic looking hay bales – these can act as book shelves, headboards, or night stands. Accessories can be purchased, or homemade, bringing in colors from your bedding. Collect old license plates to make your own art – get creative, spell out words like Cowgirl, Country, or YeeHaw.

Atomic Sconce Lighting Featured In Wired Magazine

For those of us who are not familiar with the world of aviation, an airplane hangar is typically a large industrial structure that holds aircraft in storage and is often comprised of raw aluminum for its resistance to the elements and light weight. These Hangars protect aircraft from weather and serve as an enclosed space to store, repair or assemble planes. This love for all things aeronautical led to one of the most creative work spaces we have seen.
Homeowner Greg Gambina is a techno- geek who builds and flies remote control jets. With so many parts, pieces, and tools needed to feed his hobby, Greg was lacking workspace, organization, and an overall “cool” factor in his ultimate garage. Teaming up with Wired magazine and one of our favorite new tv shows, Garage Mahal, Barn Light Electric chose to light the space with none other than our very own Atomic CGU Sconces. Co- host Bill Goldberg and the design team worked together and in just a few short days, transformed Greg’s boring white box, into the ultimate airplane hangar.
Some of the projects included custom cabinets filled with hi-tech gadgets, a 3-D printer, ceiling storage, custom runway flooring, and a new work station. Looking closely on the left hand side of the room, you’ll notice two Atomic CGU Sconces in a Galvanized finish. Our collection of Atomic sconces and pendants are unlike any other; they have the most recognizable appearance out of any of our Barn Light Electric products, and because of that you’ll find these unique fixtures fitting into almost any home’s surroundings. Reminiscent of a World War II era, these classic pieces tie in perfectly with the galvanized sheet metal ceiling and nostalgic bomber replicas hanging from them. Numerous Atomic CGU sconces are hung around this one of a kind work area and are sure to provide the homeowner years of use for a one of a kind, unique hobby.
Shown above: Barn Light Electric Atomic CGU Sconce, 96-Galvanized, Ribbed Glass, Prices start at $205.00
