Oh my goodness, this vintage kitchen ceiling fixture is so Jane Jetson, my head is spinning. The retractable ceiling light fixture in my kitchen is from the same company, I think — the pointy switch to turn it on (three-way control) is identical.
Guys, it just doesn’t get any better than this.

I received a catalog from LAH today and spotted this reproduction ceiling fixture right away. I love that it has pin-dots in both the glass shade facing bottom, and on the aluminum housing itself. A great kitchen or mudroom fixture!

I love the products from Hanover Lighting — the company just seems very down to earth … high quality … decent prices … lots of selection … lots of finishes … lots of sizes to scale to your home … all, without foofy over-top-marketing that means you end up paying too much.
It’s too cold in [...]

Adding the right exterior lighting to your 40s 50s or 60s ranch, Cape or colonial can make all the difference in the world — like the perfect jewelry on a little black dress. I’ve written previously about a few options from Rejuvenation Lighting. But for colonial style lighting similar to what was so very prevalent [...]

Mom says I’ve been doing too many bathroom sink posts lately, so it’s back to kitchens and other cool parts of the house! This kitchen is pretty wild - and I’ll do a flashback on it sometime soon - but what I really want to point out is the great George Nelson “bubble lamp” to [...]

Rejuvenation Lighting offers two styles of porch lighting that could be a good fit for your retro renovation – whether it’s ultramodern or modern-with-that-colonial touch, as many 50s and 60s homes were.My home is of this latter colonial/modern variety and I used exterior lighting that’s similar to Rejuvenation’s black cast iron lantern model shown here, [...]

I’ve had great luck with finding vintage lighting on eBay. I think the prices are the best, and it’s great to have true vintage lighting.
But I also love some of the lighting available from Rejuvenation Lighting, a Portland, Oregon-based company that creates reproductions from vintage stock. I’ve purchased some of their sconces for my bathrooms, [...]
