Light up my life

Okay, I've been a fan of Schoolhouse Electric Co. for quite some time. I'm hoping to someday remodel my kitchen and include a few of their Williamette pendants. Usually, I'm drawn the the straight-forward retro shades—I'm a purist at heart—however, the Yellena James shades in the Artist Series are just beautiful. I'm particularly loving the Aria designs. Perhaps the bathroom will be the first room I grace with a Schoolhouse Electric Co. fixture.

Vintage Inspired Lighting

A few months ago we were lucky enough to find a vintage chandelier for our dining room at a flea market in New Jersey.


We're now on the hunt for mid century vintage or vintage inspired sconces. During my search I've found Rejuvenation—a Portland, Oregon company specializing in period lighting.

Here are just a few samples from the mid century modern line:














Be sure to check out the company history section of the site for an inspiring start-up story.
