My Blog Has a Whole New Look!
Well I guess if you're reading this post, you already know that my blog has a whole new look!! Thanks to Jessica at the Love List who did the graphic design work, my blog layout has become more gorgeous, and it is really a celebration of the many exciting developments which have been going on at Julie Neill Designs!
For starters, we have re-designed our website, with all new studio shots of our lighting, and we've included a copy of our catalog which can be viewed online! Here, give it a try.
We have designed many new and exciting pieces of lighting.
One of our most popular new pieces is the BonBon Chandelier. It's a cleaner, more simplified version of the Italian stlye wood and iron chandelier, and we dressed it up with a single strand of draped crystals.
Another piece which has quickly become a favorite is the Ingrid Lantern. This is a great example of our custom capabilities.
We had a client who loved the Ingrid Chandelier, but was looking for more of a lantern type of fixture, and hence the Ingrid Lantern was born!
Another piece that has been getting lots of attention is the "Plastered" Chandelier, which grew out of my love of the old french plaster chandeliers from the 1940's.
I love it because it's fun, and fresh and modern with some echoes of the past. We had it hanging in the studio, and when my friend Katie Winters saw it, she knew that she wanted something like it for her new wine bar, Oak.
So we got together and designed something special, and now we have the Winters Chandelier.
And some sconces to match, too.
There has been so much going on that it has really been almost impossible to keep up with blogging, and I have missed it so much! There is so much I want to write about.
