    I’m a huge fan of adding furniture into your working spaces like the kitchen. An antique dresser or hutch can break up all the uniform cabinetry while still providing storage. While shiny & new is nice, it can often feel like it’s lacking some warmth or character. Antiques are a great way to balance all that newness in a renovation (in my opinion 💭) Perfectly captured by tamara_flanagan_photo Designed & styled by me Build by farrington.building

    When normanaskins added a dormer to the upstairs lounge of the #BuckheadBeauty, it dramatically brightened the area and made it more usable for the homeowners. Punchy window treatments plus a schoolhouse light fixture, and this little nook is ready to shine. #bradfordlowryinteriors #bradfordlowrydesign #atlanta #atlantainteriordesigner #atl #buckhead #designinspo #normanaskins #nook

    Thank you all for the kind messages in my last post about our boys’ lead exposure. If you’ve been following along for a while, you will know that even though we made our downstairs safe before Winnie was born, the upstairs bedrooms still had lead on the original wood flooring.⁣ ⁣ Although they sleep with us (and we have no plans on changing that anytime soon), for years I’ve dreamt of creating their future bedroom. A place we can all snuggle and play, and most importantly, feel safe. Now that it’s finished, I can confidently say that it is my favorite room in the house. Between the soft yellow paint and all the little things that capture my boys’ interests, it really feels like home. ⁣ ⁣ As far as safety, we replaced all the lead baseboards and put down hickory over the original pine floorboards (some people will gasp that we did that, but safety is way more important than retaining the originality of our home - I did choose to lay the flooring on top instead so they are still a part of the home). The window sills and trim are original so we encapsulated them in paint specifically for lead. ⁣ ⁣ As for the mattress, we went with the best of the best - savvyrest’s organic latex serenity mattress. The beautiful organic quilt toddler blanket is made by _willaby_. ⁣ Paint color - benjaminmoore’s golden straw + linen white trim ⁣ Artwork - lorepemberton Flying geese - mo_no_crom Lights - schoolhouse Tent light - brightcornershop Bed frame - kalonstudios Book shelf made by our Grampy ❤️

    Impossible to install
    This was the most difficult fixture we have ever come across. we had to insert screw posts into the mounting bracket and slide the fixture in place and secure with bolts . There was no way to know how to line up the holes in the bracket with the holes on the fixture. Like finding a needle in a haystack. We also made the mistake of ordering the bulb shown in the 150watt max fixture online. The bulb is only 40w. Not enough light for anything functional. Will return the bulb.

    love it
    It's subtle. It's classic. And it looks fabulous with a very large matte porcelain bulb. Very happy with this light.

    Perfect fit
    This light adds so much character to our bathroom. We purchased an extra large bulb and it brings enough light so we can't see better in the shower and rest of the room.

    Great fun light
    we bought the blue version for my sons bedroom. It’s a perfect size, fantastic quality! The installation, which we did ourselves, was a bit tricky because the screws were a bit short, but we got it done! Love it.

    the fixture in yellow
    my problem is I had to accept a blue and have not yet seen it hung but showing the happy yellow one above made me sad not to have gotten the color i wanted even the green would have been a choice; so make more yellow and green and less blue

    Perfect Surface Mount/ great customer service
    First of all, these are so beautiful and I LOVE THEM! Secondly, one of the lights I ordered was damaged in transit and Schoolhouse made it right immediately. I will order again!

    Alabax rules
    They look incredible and the quality can't be beat. I have installed 5 of them with no issues. Don't listen to the complaints regarding installation….these people probably struggle to tie their shoes.

    Love the Alabama Light Fixture
    The Alabama light fixture is beautifully made and designed. I ordered the dark blue large fixture and it works perfectly in my new kitchen. This fixture would work with any decor, from traditional to modern.
