We’re photographing Kev’s new office/our guest bedroom today, but in the meantime, I wanted to share a quick post about the ceiling light we went with.
It’s the Benjamin Sky Chief from Barn Light Electric…
We went with a jadite colored, enamel-coated metal shade, a 3-inch brushed aluminum stem, and we added the brushed aluminum wire cage on the bottom to give it a little bit of an industrial feel. The ceiling medallion came from Lowes, and we added it to cover up a bad cut in our ceiling planks (oops), and to bulk up that end of the light fixture a little.
It’s been a fun addition to the space, and we’re really enjoying the way it looks both on and off. We’re looking forward to blogging about the whole room tomorrow or Friday, and we hope to have our first overnight guest visit sometime soon, too! #HintHintMom

LOVE it! The only thing that could make it even better is a pretty Edison bulb.
Is it just me or is everyone checking back daily to see this room complete? I’m so anxious, it’s going to be awesome!
It looks gorgeous 🙂 !
I really like the light and the bead board on the ceiling. Maybe someday I will get brave enough and do that to ours. Looking forward to the room reveal tomorrow.
Love the color of the light, especially with the red closet doors. (Christmas decorating will be no problem in this room!) Please show the completed room SOON, your readers can hardly wait!
Thanks, Lexi. WE could hardly wait to wrap this project up, too! It’s been five years of unfinished-ness! 😀
LOVE the jadite! One of my favorite colors!
Me too, Jillian! 🙂
It’s fabulous! Love the style, color, sigh!
Thanks, Jessica! 🙂
Love the lamp – such a retro feel to it – I bet it looks gorgeous in the room (hard to tell from just the one picture!)
I can’t wait to see the room reveal!
Thanks, Susan. We’re shooting the “after” pics right now! 😀
i’m in Luuuuurvvvveee with this light! Completely gorgeous!

Love your light, it’s perfect, and THANK YOU for the discount opportunity!
Thank you, Kari! I hope you can take advantage of the discount! 😀
Love the light. I can’t wait to see the room.
Thanks, Sandy! 😀
i get the hint 🙂
love you two!
Love you too, Mom! 😀
Love your room and your light.
I’m thinking of it for my moms house. Did you guys cut the stem? I only see 6″.
Thanks,
Rene’
Hey Rene! We had the folks at Barn Light cut it down to 3″. 🙂
Great light! These little teases are getting to be too much. I can’t wait for the big reveal.
Hey Wendy!
I truly don’t mean for these last few room redo posts to be “teases”. We just like sharing stuff as we go along! 🙂 Unfortunately/fortunately our schedule has just been so jam-packed lately, and as always, we can only work on things “one-thing-at-a-time” style, and as our budget allows. We’re snapping the “after” pics today though, and look forward to blogging about them asap! 🙂
I just found three vintage barn lights in various antique malls – aren’t they awesome? Didn’t know about this little number – fabulous!
Layla,
I know your posts aren’t meant as ‘teases”. I’ve enjoyed the unfolding of the project and posting as you go does keep a reader coming back. I’m just anxious, as others are, to see it finished. 🙂
Thanks, Wendy. It’s been a five year process for us, so we’re beyond thrilled to finally be finished with it, too! 😀
The barn light is awesome, especially with the cage!
What diameter shade did you get?
I love that fixture!! It looks so pretty!
You guys are killing me with the light fixtures! I love this one. My husband is a fan of recessed lighting so I’m wanting some pretty lights in here, somewhere!
Super-de-duper Great!
Love the light choice. The color compliments the red closets and the style goes so well with your bedside lamps. You two always do such a wonderful job. Awaiting the full reveal along with your other readers!
Love the light fixtures you have chosen for your room. I can’t wait to see the big reveal!
Ooooh, I’m loving the new light! Shooting over to their site right now.
So excited! So far I’ve loved every teaser we’ve gotten, and I can’t wait! Wish I could get off my duff and do my guest room, but I’m kinda waiting until my brother-in-law moves out, hopefully in Sept. if his house gets finished by then! He’s occupying our lower level guest room, and I’m holding off on redoing the upper guest room so I don’t end up with an unexpected visit from my daughter and no where to put her and her family! And to think we’re empty nesters! Suddenly we’re out of space! Weird, huh?
So excited to see the office reveal!! I just finished a desk in Annie Sloan graphite. Need to decide on drawer pulls, then I’ll get my blog post done. Can’t wait to see your desk!!

I’ll race your Mama to that room!! 🙂
Love your choice, El. And LOVED my happy a.m. text!
great job and this is such an awesome room love what you did, waiting for the big reveal ……
I love their lighting and wish I’d had this offer this past February! I have 2 of their fixtures hanging in my sunroom now but didn’t have 10% off then!
I LOVE that new light fixture! It looks so awesome. Very unique and so fits the style of your house 🙂
Squeeeee! I love it!! Off to look for lights!
Maribel, I’m also checking it daily 🙂 Layla & Kevin, I’m loving everything you’ve done – very inspiring! Can’t wait for the big reveal.
the light looks perfect in the room….getting so anxious to see the big reveal! Can’t wait to see it all!
I love the jadite color. Unexpected. You are inspiring me! I keep checking back each day to see new info. Love the bite sized pieces of info. Suspense is good. Looking forward to the reveal.
gotta go–out the door to Home Depot and Lowes for some do it yourself stuff for ME.
Hi Layla & Kev,
Just love your site – everything you’ve tackled has been stunning and can’t wait to see the final reveal on your guest room tomorrow – q: where did you get the cage which you attached to the light? It really makes a fairly plain light go ‘pop’! Love it! Keep up the great work and all the fabulous updates! We love it!

i didn’t know you could add those cage thingies. man, the things i learn over here! looks fantastic.
Love the light, Layla and Kevin! I can’t wait to see how Kevin’s office turned out! 🙂
You truly have an EYE for beautiful things! And you inspire me! This lighting looks really gorgeous! Wish I lived in the US, you guys have such wonderful stores… *sigh* I’d be bankrupt if I lived there! LOL! 🙂 Another curious reader who cannot wait how your room looks like! 😉
I love the light and can’t wait to see the finished space. We used a Barn Light Electric light in my son’s nursery too. Here’s the link if you want to check it out..

I loooove this light! The metal cage is fantastic. I was lucky enough to score two vintage lights from my sister, I’ve sanded/painted/sanded/painted and they look awsome in my new kitchen. Can’t wait to see how it all turns out.
I’m excited to the room reveal. I can tell I’m going to love it!
Love this. Love your entire blog etc. you guys are so cool and so very talented. Your stem length is different than what they offer? Did you get yours from lowes? Did it fitbok? Thanks also maybe I missed but what color red paint is that? Thanks again, I’m a huge admirer and going to take a photo class.
Karen
Hi Karen! Thanks for the kind comment! 🙂 The folks at Barn Light Electric can cut your stem to any length, and I’m going to post the formula for that red paint on our “Guest Bedroom/Home Office Reveal” post tomorrow. I have to dig it out of storage first, ha! 😀
Okay, I love this light – but can you post a how to on adding the brushed aluminum wire cage? Cause I think that makes the light!
Thanks Stephanie! The wire guard is actually an option you can add over at Barn Light Electric! 😀
I adore Barn Light Electric! What a beautiful choice!
Thank you, Julie! 😀
Very similar to a light that I’ve been eying at Rejuvenation for quite some time. 😉
I think I might actually like this one better, and the price is certainly a lot less.
