Style Me Sunday: American Made Kitchenwares & Lighting

Last week I enjoyed an afternoon borrowing a friend’s kitchen to bake some ooey-gooey chocolate cookies. We had such a blast baking with her vintage kitchen goods. I was partial to the Sift-Chine Hand Mixer (I know…I’m a lazy girl!) and was particularly amused with how many of her antique kitchen appliances were American made. It was a beautiful reminder of how classic, American-made products have stood the test of time, and definitely inspired my to fill my own kitchen with goods that will last.

Featured Customer | Ivanhoe® Seaside Pendant Lights Make Waves at the Jersey Shore

When Diane and her husband moved into their home on the Jersey Shore two years ago, they felt that the dated kitchen needed a lot of work. Diane found, however, that with a few key upgrades, what the couple thought would be a complete gutting of the space turned into a mini makeover instead. “We replaced the Formica countertop with soapstone, added a tumbled slate backsplash, and changed the light fixtures,” Diane says. “With a professional steam cleaning of the floor, it looks like a complete remodel!” Diane chose the flirty and fun Ivanhoe® Seaside Radial Wave Porcelain Pendant Light for the new look.

Black Porcelain Enamel Pendants Make Statement in New York Deli
