Get the look of vintage schoolhouse lighting with these timeless modern alternatives!

Incorporating old-school lighting is one of my favorite ways to add a touch of vintage to my home.

I achieved the vintage schoolhouse look in my kitchen by adding sconces from Sazerac Stitches. I then replaced the small original globes with larger schoolhouse globes from Home Depot. It was a simple and cost affective alternative that gave me the perfect vintage modern look I wanted.
