Crescent Harbor Lighting’s 2009 Style Guide will focus on indoor and outdoor light fixtures, let’s start with outdoor fixtures first. Inspired by Mission, Craftsman, and Arts and Crafts styles the handmade outdoor fixtures of Arroyo Craftsman have evolved into one of our most popular sellers this year. The other notable outdoor lighting style is the onion light. The onion light is usually a brass and glass outdoor fixture and Crescent Harbor carry’s the highest quality version hand crafted by Brass Traditions.
• Arroyo Craftsman: Arroyo Craftsman specializes in handmade outdoor fixtures. These outdoor fixtures are inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement also know as craftsman or Mission style lighting.

• Onion Lights: Onion lights are making a big comeback as the outdoor light of choice in 2009. The onion light is a fabulous outdoor fixture perfectly suited as an outdoor post light, outdoor wall mounted sconce, or as an outdoor ceiling fixture. Hand crafted brass outdoor lighting fixtures have always been popular and this year is no different. The onion light’s unique colonial style makes it a perfect way to welcome guests to your home, while the onion light has been around for years its simple nautical style remains a lasting tradition in New England and beyond. The onion lights that we recommend are sold by Brass Traditions. Brass Traditions offers onion lights in many different sizes and finishes which ensures that you will be able to find the right outdoor onion light. Brass Traditions offers their onion lights in the following finishes; antique brass, dark brass, gun-metal, verde green and antique copper the antique brass and dark brass finishes do not have a lacquer finish and will darken over time. Be on the lookout because the onion light is poised to become one of the most popular outdoor lighting fixtures.
Crescent Harbor Lighting’s 2009 Style Guide will now move from outdoor light fixtures to indoor light fixtures.

Crescent Harbor Lighting specializes in high quality; hand crafted indoor and outdoor lighting fixtures. Crescent Harbor also offers a wide array of high quality ceiling fans and paddle fans.

Now we will move on to Crescent Harbor’s selections for the most stylish indoor light fixtures of 2009. For our discussion of indoor light fixtures we have chosen to feature one manufacturer, Hudson Valley Lighting, and one type of lighting, picture lights. At Crescent Harbor Lighting we thought it would be most beneficial for our customers to focus on just one manufacture (Hudson Valley Lighting) and one type of light fixture (picture lights).
• Hudson Valley Lighting: Hudson Valley Lighting one of Crescent Harbor’s best-selling lighting lines in 2009 first because they make a very diverse line of light fixtures, from bathroom wall sconces to pendants and even ceiling fans. There are several other lighting fixture manufactures who make a wide array of products like Hudson Valley Lighting does, but few can claim to do so with such natural grace and quality throughout the product line the way Hudson Valley Lighting is able to do. Hudson Valley Lighting is especially adept at the making of bath lights and bath sconces and does an incredible job with their finishes; their polished nickel is especially handsome. They offer a great selection of one-light bath sconces, two-light bath sconces, three-light bath sconces, and even four-light bath sconces. The one-light bath sconces looks great next to a bathroom mirror and the two, three and four light sconces work very well above a mirror. Hudson Valley Lighting knows that a lot of time is spent in the bathroom and making the bathroom lights look great is one of Hudson Valley Lighting’s biggest goals. If you are redoing your bathroom or are just unhappy with the current bathroom lights you have, Hudson Valley Lighting provides a wonderful assortment of bathroom wall sconces and bathroom lights. The many different bathroom wall fixtures from Hudson Valley Lighting are perfect if you are looking for a traditional or contemporary bathroom wall light or bathroom wall sconce. Given all of this, Crescent Harbor proudly includes Hudson Valley Lighting in our 2009 Style Guide as an indoor lighting fixture manufacturer. In particular Crescent Harbor Lighting would like to highlight the wonderful one light bath sconces, two light bath sconces, three light bath sconces, and in general all of the bathroom lighting options offered by Hudson Valley Lighting.
• Picture Lights: As part of Crescent Harbor Lighting’s 2009 Style Guide to indoor light fixtures and outdoor light fixtures we thought it would be nice to include a section about an area of indoor lighting fixtures that most people do not spend much time thinking about. This is part of Crescent Harbor Lighting’s continuing passion and determination to provide its customers with the best access to high quality lighting fixtures from outdoor craftsman inspired manufacturers such as Arroyo Craftsman to stylish bathroom wall sconce maker Hudson Valley Lighting and classic outdoor fixtures and post lights like Brass Tradition’s onion lights.
The category of light that Crescent Harbor Lighting wants to focus on this is picture lights. Picture lights are a very important part of any house as picture lights are used to light artwork or to illuminate picture of family and loved ones. Buying the right picture light is essential to making sure that your artwork looks great. For these reasons Crescent Harbor Lighting recommends the picture lights of House of Troy. These picture lights come in many different finishes and the picture lights also offer many different types of light bulbs. House of Troy offers LED picture lights and well as incandescent picture lights. Besides LED picture lights House of Troy makes a wide variety of designs in the picture light fixture.
