Barn Wall Sconce Brings Relaxed Style to Busy Kitchen

When you have a bunch of kids in the house, the kitchen tends to be the magnet area where homework gets tackled, snacks are served, and the family just seems to congregate at the end of a long day. A space filled with light and warmth makes the kitchen attractive and the smell of brownies floating down the hallway doesn’t hurt either! We visited this kitchen once before in our Industrial Farmhouse blog, but we didn’t give you the full picture of the kitchen entryway which features a dandy little barn wall sconce that highlights not only the doorway but the chalkboard wall that serves as place for impromptu notes and reminders. The galvanized sconce fits right in with the barn pendants and gooseneck lighting in the kitchen proper.

Rustic Wall Sconce Lighting Adds Safety, Style to Back Yard Retreat

Porches, Garages, & Home Exteriors, Residential Inspiration Betty L Leave a Comment on Rustic Wall Sconce Lighting Adds Safety, Style to Back Yard Retreat

The back yard has so much more joie de vivre than the front yard. While the front yard is more concerned with curb appeal, real estate value, and perennials that bloom on time, the back yard is the casual and light-hearted retreat from the street. Parties pop up in the back yard, kids romp and play, and quiet conversations take place on the back stairs where no one can hear. This lush and inviting back yard is gently illuminated by two wall sconces that provide just the right touch of light to the stairs so no one stumbles after dark while chasing lightning bugs.
