Barn Light Electric

Posted on by

I feel slightly guilty for entering this giveaway.

After all, we just built a brand new house that includes (mostly) brand new lighting.

However.

When our builder walked away leaving us with a half-built house, his buddy the already-paid electrician also opted not to return.

We were struggling to finish everything ourselves on a budget that had already been exceeded.  Lighting seemed like an area we could save on now, and replace or upgrade as we are able.

The best example is in our living room, with the vaulted ceiling, skylights, and beautiful beams.

whomp-whomp

It’s a hand me down, which is fine, but it looks so diminutive in that space.  It isn’t to our taste, and does nothing for the rustic atmosphere the rest of the room supplies

And yes, he really and truly hung that with one light bulb and the stickers still on the shades.

So…

Dearest Barn Light Electric,

I think you’re the bees knees.

Don’t you feel like your stunning Outer Banks Chandelier would be the perfect solution to cure my living room from her current embarrassment?

(Outer Banks)

I’ve told her that it’s not her fault.  That we love her no matter what she looks like.  After all, it’s the inside that counts!  But she aptly pointed out that her eyesore is on the inside.

Touche, living room.

In addition, dear Barn Light Electric,

We’ve had to consider purchasing our own mammography machine due to the excess of low cost boob lighting installed throughout hallways, closets and even the poor office and laundry room.  When my grandma comes to visit, she can’t even even roll her eyes heavenward without blushing.

It’s a problem we feel would best be solved by these:

(Warehouse Pendant)

and these:

(Radial Wave Flute Pendant)

Wouldn’t you agree? 

In closing, dear Barn Light Electric, I’m not above putting D in a mankini to install these babies, a la Magic Mike, if only that’s what it would take to win.

Sincerely yours,

Not Even Playing in Kansas

Amy

  5. Oh my gosh… I had no idea that there was some sort of nefariousness going on with Bob the Builder and the half built house! (That sounds like a Harry Potter movie title… Bob the Builder and the Half Built House). Are you just being amazing and patient and not complaining about it for all to see like I totally would (making you a far better person than I am, but that comes as no surprise to me, frankly!)
    But seriously, those lights would just rock the hell out of your already rockin’ house! D in a mankini is the frosting on an already pretty awesome cake! He does realize he’s going to have to wax, right? :)

    The beams in your living room are gorgeous!
