Tell us a little bit about yourself!
My name is Jennifer Newhouse and I live in Birmingham, Alabama. I have two kids and my husband is my right-hand man and helps me with all my DIY projects. We moved into our new build home about two years ago and are slowly transforming it to fit our custom style.

What got you into interior design?
When I was on maternity leave with my second child, I was struggling with PPA and my friend encouraged me to start my home decor Instagram account and that was almost two years ago. It kept my mind occupied and gave me something to do each day. I have met so many new friends and been able to work with the most amazing companies. Interior design really saved me from a very emotional time.
Which room of your house is your favorite, and why?
My favorite room in the house is definitely my kitchen. I spend a lot of time cooking, and meal prepping. I love the open concept and my huge farmhouse sink.

Whatโs your favorite part of working on a new project?
My favorite part of working on a new project is seeing the transformation of a space. I love how little details can really make a space unrecognizable.
What made you choose Steel Lighting Co.?
I chose Steel Lighting Co because I loved their style options. I chose the Westchester with a 11โ gooseneck for my project and it turned out amazing. The light was very easy to install and I love how it really fits into my modern farmhouse home. Their customer service was amazing, as I had an issue with checkout and it was resolved quickly.

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 greeneryโhonestly, does it get better than this?

Thereโs something instantly welcoming about this setupโthe 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 bestโnatural 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 thereโs nothing better than a quiet moment outsideโcool shade, a warm breeze, and the glow of a classic barn light as the sun starts to set. Hereโs to soft breezes, longer evenings, and the simple joy of winter turning into spring โ๏ธ

Coffee tastes better with a view like this. โ The warmth of the wood, the soft glow of those steel pendants, and that spacious island just waiting for good conversationโit all comes together in the kind of kitchen that feels like home. Canโt 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 thatโs 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. ๐ 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 areaโa moment that turned this fixture into something so much more.
Itโs 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. ๐ ๏ธโค๏ธ #steellightingco #familymemories #homeimprovement #homelighting #madeinusa #smallbusiness
Los Angeles has always been more than just a city to usโitโs 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, itโs time for community, strength, and supporting each other. Our hearts and prayers are with everyone affected. Stay strong, Los Angelesโweโre in this together.
