Happy Friday guys!! Can you believe it’s already Easter weekend?! I honestly can’t wrap my mind around it already being time for Easter–I mean, it just seems way too early this year. I always like when Easter falls little later into April, when the weather is a bit warmer, the grass is starting to turn green, the trees are starting to bud out, and it just feels more “Easter-ish”. You know what I mean? Maybe I’m the only one that feels the way, but I’m just not ready for Easter yet. We literally have snow on the ground as I type this post, so it definitely doesn’t feel like spring at all. But that’s ok, because Easter isn’t about green grass and bunnies, it’s about salvation. And resurrection. And hope. And boy am I grateful for that! So either way, I’m excited for the weekend and looking forward to making memories with my sweet little crew. Anyway, let’s move on to today’s post, shall we? I hope you’re in the mood for a little retail therapy because I’m talking about farmhouse style barns lights!
So do you remember back in January when we put a pair of black barn lights in our reading nook? It was a simple and quick decor update, but those two little lights added so much character and charm to our living room. And since we don’t have electricity in the reading nook, we simply used LED battery powered puck lights instead of light bulbs. We just screwed the lights to the wall without even bothering with the electrical wiring. It was super duper easy and you can see it all in this post. Well ever since then I’ve had a lot of questions about the lights, so today I thought it would be fun to round up 20 farmhouse style barn lights for you guys! I’ve found some really cool options and most of them are under $100. I hope this helps if you’re on the hunt for some new lights!

The thing I LOVE about these lights is that you can put them anywhere in your home! Even if there isn’t electricity where you want to install it–it can simply be a piece of decor instead of a functioning light fixture. Why not, right?! We just did this in our breakfast nook actually. We simply removed the electrical wiring, screwed the light to the wall, added a light bulb to make it look real and badda boom badda bing. It looks legit but it’s totally a “faux” light! Anyway, I’m so glad you stopped by the blog today. I always appreciate when you drop by and spend part of your day with me. It really means so much. I hope you have a blessed Easter weekend with your loved ones and I’ll see you back here on Monday!! xoxo

Thanks Robin!
Thanks so much!! We are moving and I am dying to do this trick and you made my life so easy:)
give it a try Michelle, you will love it and so easy!!
I SERIOUSLY thought I was the only one who had FAKE lights/lamps in my house! I’m so excited I’m not! My husband thought I was nuts when he went to turn one on and realized it was a lamp to fill a spot to look good. Being a foreman for our Electric Utility his response was “Great way to save energy”. with a little sarcasm.
Happy Easter!
haha definitely not the only one Janet!! I agree with what your husband said, it’s a great way to save energy!
I SO love this… And I am SO doing this! I’ve shared this with my family, too! I think my brother is going to do some sconces in his dining room, to add extra light! Definitely a future post for me, for rental living! Thanks so much, Sarah!
Give it a shot Julie!!
Sarah your home is such a reflection of who you are as a wife and mother. I love your sweet reading nook with the two perfect farm lights to light the area (well who always needs light….right 😉) anyways, it looks so charming and the lights just help add the perfect ambience that you wanted to create…..KUDOS FOR A JOB WELL DONE ❤️
Thank you so much for the kind words Patty, I really appreciate it so much!! xoxo
Sarah…..one other idea. If I had your sconces, I would go to Walmart and buy those little round lights that you can stick up and they are battery operated. I used them in areas where I needed or wanted a light source. You just tap the light cover and it comes on. It just might fit into your sconces…..you could tap on the lights for a nice understated glow and they would look like a bulb, because the top is white. Anyways I think this might be worth a try?
That’s exactly what she did, she said she added battery powered LED puck lights in her barn style lights in her nook😊
Thank you for responding Vicki! xo
Hi Patty, I did exactly that!! Except mine are from Amazon. It worked really well!!
