The outdoor light was installed above the new exterior french doors we installed leading outside from the kitchen. I knew I wanted somethin' country, so I tracked down a gooseneck sconce from this cool company called Barnlight Electric. The website is pretty rad-- you can custom design your light fixture to suit your needs-- pick the finish, the size of the shade, the amount of goosey-ness for your gooseneck fixture... You know. The works.
Yes, goosey-ness.
So, the fixture I "designed" looked like this, only ours is in the rust finish:
It only took about a week to receive, which is pretty terrific considering they're made to order and ship from Florida. Once installed, it looked like this:
I guess a day-time photo is probably in order, but this image just seemed so much more romantic.
We also purchased a pair of rust finished flood-lights, so John can flip them on and scare the ba-jesus out of everybody in case of a zombie-apocalypse. However, since most days aren't a zombie-apocalypse, we also installed a dimmer switch so that we can have the flood lights cast a slightly more-enchanted-less-interrogation-room light for everyday use.
All in all, the outside lighting is shaping up nicely. Swish!
