Introduction
Hi, I’m Randi! I’m a Midwesterner, living amidst the cornfields. I was raised in a small farm town in Illinois. Perhaps that’s where my love of farmhouse decor stems from. I have always had a passion for creating and writing. So, I decided to combine my interests with my Instagram account @randilynnblog and blog randilynnblog.com. I hope to share my love of decorating and do-it-yourself projects, while letting others in on the life I lead with my husband and our sweet babies, in our first home.

What got you into interior design?
I can’t pinpoint where my love of interior design came from, I’ve just always had a love for it. I would say my upbringing probably had something to do with it. Our family of five lived in one house my entire childhood, and my parents taught us how to care for and maintain it. Throughout the week HGTV played on the television, and on the weekends we were at the home improvement store. One of my favorite shows was “Fixer Upper.” Joanna Gaines has been a huge source of inspiration to me. The Gaines family reminds me of my own and I love that they too have raised their children in the same humble little home. The saying is true that, “Love grows best in little houses.” Last fall I had the opportunity to visit the Magnolia Silos in Waco, Texas and see how they transformed them. It was the neatest experience. Then I discovered the home decor
community on Instagram, which has blessed me in so many ways, and also fueled my passion for DIY. All of these things have helped me develop my eye over time. Some people look at a space and see what it is, I see what it can be.

Do you prefer the old-fashioned farmhouse layout, or more of a modern layout and why?
I love farmhouse style, and the mix of old and new! In recent years, my focus has shifted from using home decor to change the look of a space, to doing DIY projects to change the look of a space. This is a much needed creative outlet for me. Luckily, my husband trusts my vision and gives me freedom to express my creativity how I choose. His only requests are that spaces are functional and budget-friendly. I have updated just about every room in our house now to make it more my style. My dad is retired and he’s extremely handy and hardworking, so he’s the one I take all my ideas to. He comes for a visit every so often and we bring one of my ideas to life. Two of our most recent projects included installing new hardwood floors from Lumber Liquidators in all the main living areas of my house, and building a fireplace with an electric insert from Modern Blaze in my living room. My living room has now become my favorite space in my house. And it’s times like these, when we’re “sheltering in place,” that I’m glad we’ve made our house into a place we love and are comfortable.

What’s your favorite part of working on a new project?
When working on a project, I want to be involved in every step of the process. One thing I like about projects is learning new skills as I go along. Even when I was pregnant and suffering from acute morning sickness last year, I was that way. But I don’t like things to be torn up for too long, even though my projects seem to be getting more and more involved. So, I would have to say my favorite part of a project is when it’s completed and I get to put the space back together, style it up with decor, and then sit back and admire it.

What made you choose Steel Lighting Co.?
I chose Steel Lighting Co after an extensive Google search because the lights had the exact farmhouse feel that I was looking for. I have used Steel Lighting Co lights for three of my projects now, and have a total of eight of their lights on the exterior and interior of my home. My favorite lights are ‘The Topanga’ with the gooseneck and ‘The El Segundo’ with the cord.

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.
