Just popping in today to share with you a new light fixture we finally got up in the kitchen! I found this green enamel warehouse barn light back in August at a local barn sale, and scooped it up for $24!!! It had a few tiny chips here and there, but FOR REAL, I could not beat the price. I had been wanting a new light over our sink, since just about forever, but was waiting until I found the right one.
Since you know I’m not a matchy – matchy kinda gal, once we replaced the lighting over our island, the hunt was on for the perfect compliment. It’s safe to say the search is over!
I’ve already done a tiny bit of tweaking to her, so that’s why this is just the sneak peak! But to remind you what it looked like before,
I have this lovely photo from W A Y back to remind you of what used to be there.
This was pre-kitchen updates and new paint. We swapped out the original island lighting they installed when we bought the house, because it burnt out, literally the wire fried in two. So we installed these pendants, and did a DIY- barn light finish.
You can see in the photo above the before lighting fixture over the sink, it just wasn’t flowing with the farmhouse feel I was going for. I’m so thrilled with my find, we removed all the old wiring, and bought a simple lighting kit from Lowers, so all we had to do was attach enamel shade.
So we can cross that one off the honey-do list! I can’t wait to show you how I made it a bit more personal and tied all three of the lights in together.
Stay in touch!

It looks great! Awesome find.
I love it.
What’s funny though, I just finished a kitchen remodel last summer & I put in the exact same light over my sink that you took out. I love it. I have two other matching fixtures, a larger one over my dining room table & a round one in the center of my kitchen.
I LOVE IT!!
oh hello gorgeous!
