The look of vintage schoolhouse lighting and a deep shelved custom island give our new cottage kitchen a sophisticated and elegant look.
I’m in love with our last few pieces of this renovation. They just seem to tie it all together in a way that I only hoped would happen! It’s very rewarding to see your vision come to life. Today I am sharing all about the vintage schoolhouse lighting we chose and the custom island built for this space.

Our kitchen was completely gutted, so it was ready to renovate as soon as we moved in.

If you like the sort of recommendation that still holds up six months later, leave your email below and I'll write to you on Sunday.
Most Sundays, once the house has gone quiet and it's edging towards nine, a letter goes out. It's the one I'd write to a friend with good taste and not nearly enough time: one thing worth reading, one thing worth buying, and one thing to skip. No noise, no pressure to spend, just the considered version of what I've actually been using, loving, or quietly sending back.

Hi! I love the lights and am looking at the same ones. What is the distance from the bottom of the lights to your island top? Also, what is the height of your ceiling? Thanks!

Hi Tammy,
The distance from the bottom of the light to island is: a little over 3 feet. Our ceilings are 8 feet tall.
