Tell us a bit about yourself!
Hi everyone.. my name is Amanda my mom named me after the famous (Mandy) Barry Manilow. My parents/siblings/friends always called me Mandy I literally go by both lol.
I met my husband when I was 22 and we have 4 boys. I had my older two first and years went by before I decided to try for a girl lol and had two more boys. I just love being a boy Mom.
I’ve always wanted to become a interior decorator but life gets in the way. I started sharing my diy projects and home decor etc Feb/March 2019 ..I’m so excited to meet women/men who love decorating/diy and shopping like I do. It’s changed my life I’m so happy to meet everyone and share my home and projects.
What got you into interior design?
Ever since I was young starting around 7-8 I’d beg my mom to get out her holiday decor and decorate the house/clean etc for her. I loved it so much she gave me the gift of decor and diy projects so lucky to get her artistic and creative ways.
Do you prefer the old-fashioned farmhouse layout, or more of a modern layout and why?
I love the modern farmhouse look with the dark wood tones mixed with black and white, it just speak so much to me. I love the look of things old made new again. I do love to collect vintage pieces and mix into my modern farm style as well, so it’s a good mix of vintage and farm house style. The open shelves are also a favorite for me and so much fun to style the rustic look they bring to your space!
What’s your favorite part of working on a new project?
I love to take a home and make it mine or unique that others will not have. As an example, I prefer to refurbish an old dresser to look new again in a style I like and bring back to life, instead of buying something new. It gives me so much pride and enjoyment to create something and then others love what I made! Very satisfying and keeps me busy in diy projects.
What made you choose Steel Lighting Co.?
I had been looking awhile for lighting in my basement that was modern farmhouse style in black and flush mount. Not many made are flush mount in this particular style of lighting that I was wanting. I was very excited to find they offered the light I chose! They look so good in my space and very well built; they look beautiful.
My wife and I only ever had one buyer in mind: the person putting our products in their home. We aimed to sell American-made, high-quality lighting, and we keep our prices fair because we're not interested in helping middlemen make a markup; we're interested in providing for good, honest folk. Just like you.
Love this pop of color being used in the kitchen! What do you think?

I'm still obsessed with @stacey.athome's kitchen design. Matte black and white, warm wood tones, and just the right touch of greenery—honestly, does it get better than this?

There’s something instantly welcoming about this setup—the blue door pulls you in, the Game Room sign adds the perfect contrast, and the compact Hawthorne sconce subtly lights the way. This is the kind of entry that promises cozy nights and a stack of well-loved board games waiting just inside!

If folding laundry has to happen, this is the room to do it in. From the brick herringbone floors to that crisp white shiplap, every detail in this space feels intentional. And overhead? The Malibu keeping things bright without stealing the show.

@whitefishriverrun is serving up mountain-modern at its best—natural wood, matte black finishes, and just the right touch of cozy. We love seeing our fixtures in places that feel designed to be lived in, not just looked at.

The kind of spot that makes you slow down and soak it all in. Warmer days are rolling in, and there’s nothing better than a quiet moment outside—cool shade, a warm breeze, and the glow of a classic barn light as the sun starts to set. Here’s to soft breezes, longer evenings, and the simple joy of winter turning into spring ☀️

Coffee tastes better with a view like this. ☕ The warmth of the wood, the soft glow of those steel pendants, and that spacious island just waiting for good conversation—it all comes together in the kind of kitchen that feels like home. Can’t you just picture slow mornings here, watching the water while breakfast sizzles on the stove?

Farmhouse charm with a modern twist! From the bold contrast of black and white to the warm wood tones, this kitchen is very inviting. The Melrose pendant lights are the perfect finishing touch for a space that’s as stylish as it is functional. Who else is loving this cozy-meets-contemporary vibe?

A barndominium done right. The perfect mix of rustic charm and modern craftsmanship, set against a backdrop of tall pines. Every detail, from the wood beams to the oversized barn doors, makes this space something special. Thank you so much @thatsbyers for sharing your newest build
We love all the reviews we receive, but every so often, one catches our attention and makes us stop and reflect. 💛 Samantha shared how special it was to wait and install this light with their dad, 7 weeks after his open-heart surgery. Together, they centered it perfectly in their dining area—a moment that turned this fixture into something so much more.
It’s stories like this that remind us how important it is to create lasting memories with the people we love. Thank you for letting us be a part of this touching moment. 🛠️❤️ #steellightingco #familymemories #homeimprovement #homelighting #madeinusa #smallbusiness
Los Angeles has always been more than just a city to us—it’s home. Having grown up in LA, every corner holds a memory, and when Rachel and I started Steel Lighting Co., we wanted to celebrate that by naming our fixtures after places in LA that shaped our lives.
Watching the wildfires impact this beautiful place and the people we care about is deeply heartbreaking. Though we are thankful to be safe, many of our friends, family, and neighbors are feeling the tremendous weight of this tragedy.
Now more than ever, it’s time for community, strength, and supporting each other. Our hearts and prayers are with everyone affected. Stay strong, Los Angeles—we’re in this together.
