Classic Lights Anchor a New Kitchen — a guest post by Restored Style’s Kirsten Nieman

As a home design blogger and enthusiast, I’m always game for a remodel. So when it came time to renovate our 1920′s Portland bungalow, I was up for the challenge. The first room we tackled was the kitchen: We wanted to modernize the space (hello ice maker and garbage disposal!) but keep it consistent with the rest of the house, sticking with the 1920′s period craftsman feel.

We searched high and low for the right cabinets, tile and paint colors and we learned a heck of a lot along the way. One thing we didn’t search too hard for was our light fixtures. Already huge Rejuvenation fans, we knew our remodeled kitchen wouldn’t be complete without customized fixtures from this lovely store.

I’ll let the pictures do the rest of the talking. Here are the before photos…

And the after photos…

What do I think really completes this room? No doubt: Our fabulous Rejuvenation light fixtures! We get loads of compliments on them and they fit our small space perfectly. After much deliberation and many measurements, these are the lights we landed on:

Lighting over island: Rejuvenation Rhone 4 inch classic pendant with Rejuvenation schoolhouse opal 8 inch shade

Lighting over sink: Rejuvenation Rhone 4 inch classic pendant with Rejuvenation schoolhouse opal 10 inch shade

Thanks for all the inspiration and the quality goodies, Rejuvenation. Our kitchen thanks you!

    There is nothing WRONG with the school house lights. They are very SAFE. I am sure Rejuvenation has something else that would have been more of a statement. This, unfortunately is very, very predictable.

    I love the kitchen sink/window picture. Busy but perfectly cozy.
