The house we are in right now has some lighting issues in the bedrooms upstairs. They don’t have any overhead lighting. I’m sure we could have some wired in, but that just sounds expensive and a lot of work. Especially when there are other options.
Thankfully, there are so many different types of lighting now. Sconces have become my new best friend. It was so much fun collaborating with Lamp Goods to bring lighting to my guest room. Jann, the creator behind Lamp Goods is the sweetest most talented woman. She had a vision of creating different types of lighting that you are not going to be able to find at and big box store. So that people can have unique lighting for their homes. She has such an amazing testimony on how God has just opened so many doors for her. Through His blessing she has seen her vision come to life.
One of my favorite things Jann does with her business is use it to get God’s word out into the world. She does this through putting scripture on her website, her email, and also her packaging. I love it. Her business moto is, “let your light shine” and she means it two ways. One for the actual lighting, and then two for letting your spiritual light shine.
Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven… Matt 5:16 This is just one of the verses I drew from TheLampGoods.com website.
Also, just to show you a little bit of Jann’s heart. I want to share this quote from one of her emails to me. “God is good and the success of this lighting company is only due to the fact He wants his Word spread. I’ve seen Him do some AMAZING things through this lighting company. I’m often in AWE of His greatness and kindness towards me ”
Jann, is just the sweetest and she is so talented. She creates the beautiful lights in her store, and has a wide variety or options. She has sconces, chandeliers, mason jar lights, mason jar light fixtures, mason jar pendant lights, milk glass lights, industrial lamps, clear glass lighting, rustic and farmhouse styled lighting, and she even sells bulbs and mounting kits.
Here in our guest room I have two of the “Industrial Wall Light Sconce Plug-In with an Edison Bulb.” They could not fit my farmhouse style any more perfectly! They add so much light to our room, that we really needed. I can not say it enough, how much lighting adds so much to a space. You could compare putting lighting in a room as to putting the last piece of jewelry on to complete an outfit. It finishes of and completes the feel you want in your room. These sconces did just that for me. They completed the look of this space and have made our guest room feel extra cozy and inviting.

Three Types of Lighting and Why You Need All Three
Ambient lighting - This is also known as general lighting and covers the subtle, overall illumination that you need to see. Hanging light fixtures and flush mounted lighting fixtures are most commonly used to accomplish this. The purpose of ambient lighting is to illuminate as much of the room as possible. When designing a new home, or renovating an existing one, ambient lighting is a good place to start with any room.

The internet is BOMBARDED with DIY Mason Jar lighting tutorials and we wonder...WHY? (We nearly cringe when another video is released)
Okay so maybe doing it yourself is 'rewarding' ...YES! That's a great reason....We're all about 'craftsmanship & artisans works '. Crafting with your hands is fun, relaxing and fulfilling. But maybe sticking with DIY mason jar candle holders and NOT electrical lighting! Or even the 'FAIRY' lights inside the .jars is charming.
But we have to ask the question, "how long do you think that TIN piece is going to hold up in the bathroom"? Really? One year, maybe two?
-
When folks use these lids, not only do they not get a professional look, but the lids can eventually rust so much that you can't even get the jar off. Might be a real problem if you need to change the light bulb. (sarcasm, sorry)
Is this PROFESSIONAL?
Is this GOOD LOOKING?
Also we've seen folks use dangerous and inappropriate electrical components and wiring methods That's just crazy! YIKES!
Why would you want to risk a FIRE? Not knowing what you are doing could cause some serious issues.
That's why we only use UL Rated & Certified Electrical Components. Our finishes are designed to last too. This will then give you many years of enjoyment. YAY! So when you are choosing bathroom farmhouse lighting, choose quality mason jar lights that will withstand the elements.
Thanks for listening. The Lamp Goods Crew

1. MODERN
Modern is a broad design term that typically refers to a home with clean, crisp lines, a simple color palette and the use of materials that can include metal, glass and steel.
Modern design employs a sense of simplicity in every element, including furniture. A word that’s commonly used to describe modern style is sleek, and there is not a lot of clutter or accessories involved with a modern style.
2. CONTEMPORARY
Modern and contemporary are two styles frequently used interchangeably. Contemporary is different from modern because it describes design based on the here and now.
The primary difference separating modern and contemporary design style is that modern is a strict interpretation of design that started in the 20th century. Contemporary on the other hand, is more fluid and can represent a sense of currency with less adherence to one particular style.

An iconic home with an industrial design theme would be a renovated loft from a former industrial building. What about an industrial farmhouse track lighting for your den or a ceiling light for man cave?

There’s a retro nostalgia present in Mid-Century Modern Design, and also some elements of minimalism. Functionality or “fussy-free” was the main theme for Mid-century design.

It easily complements any interior and also helps with seamless transition from interior to exterior.

A transitional design may incorporate modern materials, such as steel and glass, and then unite them with plush furnishings.
Transitional design also includes relatively neutral color palettes, creating a calming and relaxed space that manages to feel both stylish and sleek, as well as warm and inviting.
9. FRENCH COUNTRY

Many designs now integrate rustic design with more modern furnishings and accessories.

Most of us don't have the luxury of designing a brand new house and making every choice match. So you have to focus more on your style and the finishes within the room. Keep them so they blend nicely and really to add interest. Seriously, if everything matches it can become extremely boring. And who likes boring?
Here's some popular alternatives that just might have you thinking...
OUTSIDE THE BOX
Galvanized metal is a huge trend in the farmhouse home. Farmhouse lighting that incorporates this trend looks especially nice in the kitchen. The hanging lights look like they are made from milk jugs. The rustic quality of these lights echoes the reclaimed wood of the island below.
This impressive lighting fixture combines a reclaimed wooden ladder with three crystal chandeliers. The crystal is a nod to shabby chic style and brings an elegant, old-fashioned feeling to the light. The contrast between the crystals and the distressed ladder makes a charming departure from the usual style.
Old fashioned lanterns make this light fixture unique. The lanterns are retrofitted with bulbs and hung on chains from a distressed wood fixture. The two bright lanterns make a farmhouse kitchen shine. The old fashioned style blends in with the farmhouse kitchen in a charming manner.
Mixing metals through out your home doesn't have to be difficult. (Even Joanna Gaines does it. LOL) Just keep your style consistent and you'll be find. The days of the hand-bag color matching the shoe color are over...Enjoy!

Hello My name is Kaley Ann and I have a blog you can see at http://chckgeek.com/2018/02/24/a-look-at-our-updated-bathroom-ft-hurd-and-honey/
Jann here at The Lamp Goods worked with me on this special Mason Jar Light Fixtures during our remodel. I am so happy that I’m finally sharing our updated bathroom! I’ve had some fun changes coming to this space for a while now and I’m loving how it’s coming along. Especially since we hung these gorgeous reclaimed mirrors. And I absolutely obsessed with it, and how these ones look in our master bath. If you remember we originally had two oval mirrors here that came with the house and although I didn’t mind them I had been on the hunt for something with a wooden frame. Enjoy.
