Design Lust: Schoolhouse Electric & Supply Co.


What was once my favorite source for vintage style lighting has now become my favorite source for, well....everything. Schoolhouse Electric's site has recently grown to include a wide range of new products for the home- including furniture, rugs, and accessories.

1. I currently have two of these pendants in my own kitchen over the breakfast bar, and I love the metallic bulbs and vintage modern look.
2. Add a bold pop of color to an all-white kitchen with these industrial style blue beauties.
3. Holiday gifts anyone? Or just pop them up on the mantle in your favorite candle holder.
4. Are you planning on painting your bathroom a bold color like a rich turquoise or a bright yellow? This black and white vintage print shower curtain would be the perfect contrast, and it's oh-so-charming.
5. The Hamilton Bed in Industrial Yellow. Swoon! Yellow and grey is an absolute favorite color combo of mine, has been for a long time, and probably always will be.
6. Complete the look with this fab wool throw.
7. This round mirror is a lot of things- nautical, fresh, current, and timeless. It would add visual impact to any room.
8. Love the subtle variations in tone of this rug. It would instantly add a cozy feeling to your space and is so easy to work into most color schemes.
9. Industrial style pieces of furniture are another obsession of mine. These chairs strongly remind me of the iconic Emeco Navy chairs. Both are made of alumininum, have a classic timeless look, and are longing to be paired with a reclaimed wood dining table.
10. I have an unusual infatuation with hardware, specifically antique-looking faceted glass knobs like these. Use them on kitchen cabinets for an instant update. Or a bathroom vanity. Or the hutch in your dining room....so versatile.
If you are one of our clients, don't be surprised if we suggest styling up a room with a piece or two from here. Classic and inspiring!!!
