Bright and Early

Rustic Trio

Authentic Designs makes its fixtures, including the Beattie Barn Light, in-house at its Vermont workshop. All metal parts are made of American sheet copper, brass, or terne-coated copper—laid out, cut, folded, rolled, and soldered by hand. Versatile enough to hang as a single lamp or in a row over a kitchen island, the design features a looped handle, conical housing, and flared shade. Shown in the Darkened Terne finish, all three pendants are suspended from double-ended hooks that conceal wiring. The Beattie also comes in a wall-mounted version; both styles are available in three sizes. authenticdesigns.com

• Sizes 12", 16", 20" • A 12-in. fixture is 12" wide x 16" tall x 15" deep • 12 finishes • $1,627.50 and up

RESTORE A WOOD WINDOW SASH

When repairs are in order, a steam box, an easel, and two-part epoxy are your best friends. The work is simple, if tedious, but your reward is original window sash that works the way it was designed to and that will last for decades to come.
