I did a couple of posts a while back
about this little laundry room
It has some really fun and fresh elements,
but one of the best things in here is the big galvanized light fixture
with the bright red cage
I bought it from a great lighting resource:
We used similar galvanized fixtures called the Atomic Sconce on the front and back porches up in Ojai
This little guy retails for around $189
Here, below, is the front porch
The vintage mail box is used to leave notes for guests and workers,
when we're not around.
Barn Light Electric has a blog too...doesn't everybody?
There are now doing ceiling fans
I love these!
This one retails for $349
Do you need a pendant?
Made from the tops of recycled acetylene canisters.
This little cutie is around $149
The catalog is full of great ideas.
With all of the different goosenecks and shades you can use your imagination and come up with something very original
So that got me thinking about my next project
Here are the elements:
A vintage toaster...
and a kitchen colander
Can't wait to share the finished product!
One last thing...
a huge thank-you to these wonderful bloggers:
Susan from Love where you Live
&
Andrea from Faded Plains
If you haven't already checked out their blogs you really should
&
to all of the new and not so new friends who have joined me in the last few months,

Kelley these are great! It has me so sad (again) that I walked right by some old car jacks at Goodwill once. I got out to the car, drove away, and said - you know, those would my fabulous lamps. I turned around, went back in the store, only to see someone walking out with them! When I asked if I could buy them from them, they said: "No, these are going to be lamps for my daughter!" And I thought - darn, someone else is as brilliant as me! LOL! Anyway - obvious this is brilliant - love the reuse and the way it all looks, just gorgeous! Can't wait to see what happens next with the toaster and collander - knowing you, it's SURE to be fabulous!
ReplyDeletehi kelley,
ReplyDeletei just showed my hubs the pics of your porch lights. we just had the carport (yes, i know, i never said i wasn't white trash!) painted and the workers tore down/destroyed 4 of these lights that were original to the house. i cried but no one understood. now THEY do.
.....awesome!...love the look and the colours!
ReplyDeletehubby made me matching lights from two old baitbuckets ... I'll be posting them soon ...
ReplyDeletelove all of your thoughts here ...
Love those lights...and I am DYING to see what you make from your colander!
ReplyDeleteWhy, you dog you...at first I thought your little laundry room pic was a image from Mrs. Murphy cleaning products. I see you love the stuff as much as I do!
What A FAB laundry spot! Drooling!
Your laundry room makes me want to do laundry... well not really... but I love the space!! FAB !!
ReplyDeleteHi Kelley,
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing these lights...I think sometimes lights can be overlooked. I am dragging my feet as I don't have my own blog (yet). Will have to see what I can do!!! Can't wait to see what you do with the old toaster and the colander.
Take care

Hi Kelley!
ReplyDeleteWe love Barn Light Electric and have one of their sconces in our guesthouse.
Can't wait to see what you'll do with the blue colander....love the color.
Have a great week!
I love Barn Light...I finally bought 2 lights to hang in my kitchen from them and love how they look...and I can't wait to see what your up to with that tease ;o)
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend, Andrea
I also wanted to thank you so much for the journal....it's perfect...and I'm gonna use it for just the reason you suggested.
Hi Kelley - I happened upon your blog via 24 Corners & it's great. I am a huge fan of industrial lighting, but your right, that red gave that piece an extra dash of charm. Looking forward to checking out their website. Thank you & I will be back ~ dMp
ReplyDeleteHi Kelley! I just went from "laundry room envy" to "barn light envy" within seconds! lol! Waay too cool!
ReplyDeletexoxo laurie@heavens-walk
Your laundry room was one of the early posts I read - simply great! I just finished a lighting class at my school - who knew there was so much to know. I now check out lighting where ever I go!
ReplyDeleteso beautiful. Love those lights, especially the pendants!
ReplyDeleteA new hydro power technology is being developed by Sarfraz Ahmad Khan of Pakistan. In theory these hydro plants would not require a reservoir and would have a minimal impact on the environment. They could be run side-by-side in rows and would be much cheaper to build, operate and maintain. Sarfraz has high hopes that his ideas could revolutionize hydro power in his country and across the globe.
