Inspirational quote art prints, pottery, lamps and more from Schoolhouse Electric

September 8, 2015

Schoolhouse Electric brass accessories

I was somewhat familiar with Schoolhouse Electric and Supply Co. before learning the Portland-based furnishings and housewares brand would be hosting a cocktail party for The Hello Sessions on the eve of the conference. Now, after browsing every page of their website, I’m thoroughly obsessed with Schoolhouse Electric’s self-described “domestic utility” style.

In an Oregon Business interview, founder and owner Brian Faherty explains that Schoolhouse Electric offers “not just pretty things, but things that are useful in everyday life.” Vintage-inspired things for the minimalist aesthetic, including baskets, rugs, toothbrush holders, beds, and couches.

But Schoolhouse Electric might be best known for its reproduction light fixtures, which is what the company first started selling over ten years ago. Check out one of their satellite-style pendants in my Sputnik chandelier round up!

I’m also totally lusting over this brass table lamp and this studio desk lamp.

Plus, these dishes, these planters, this watering can, and this framed poster.

Of course, I had to include the hand-drawn “Comparison is the thief of joy” artwork in my latest column for Cool Mom Picks, a round-up of inspirational quote art prints. If you check it out (and I hope you do!), come back and let me know which piece you find the most motivating.

And I’d love to hear your thoughts on Schoolhouse Electric. Are you into their “domestic utility” style or is it the design too spare for your taste? Personally, I’m saving up my pennies so I can buy myself a souvenir when I’m in Portland next month!

PS – Don’t forget to buy your ticket for The Hello Sessions workshop! They’re only available for another week, and you can get 10% off with the code LAST CHANCE.

    We can’t wait to see you, PJ! And we’re also super excited about the Schoolhouse Electric Co. party. Those ladies have so many fun things planned, and we know that every moment is going to be a blast. Love these picks! I’m totally into the SECO aesthetic, which feels very Portland-y/Brooklyn-y to me and I would buy every single thing if I could.

    Yay, I’m going too! Cannot wait to see you! I’ve had a Schoolhouse Electric pendant lamp on my wishlist for over a year but now that we’ve moved it looks like I’ll have to find something else for our new place. I don’t think that will be too hard! 😉

      Your new house definitely needs some Schoolhouse Electric love. I’d be happy to help you find a few things when I see you!

Day 12 | No photos from today (well none worth sharing) because I sat in front of my laptop from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. working on deadline. My busy work day also meant that my kids didnt get very much of my attention. My husband kept them occupied for some of the day but I dont think they got any schoolwork done. Oh well we all deserve a lazy day every once in a while. I know I do! | So whats this photo? Just some of the amazing birthday presents I received from my friends this weekend!

Asa had a full-on temper tantrum because he didnt want to color his drawing of a rainbow and nearly lost his cool while practicing Typing Club. I wish I could do more educational activities with them like taking alphabet walks and tallying up different items around the house but Im totally overwhelmed with a huge deadline this week.

Not sad about anything specific. Just ... sad. Cabin fever? Exhaustion? We decided to get out of the house to look at the cherry blossoms in Bethesda. The Kenwood neighborhood was quiet so we parked and walked down a side street keeping our distance from the few other people out and about.

On the second day of social distancing my true love made for me banana muffins with a crumb topping.  On the third day... Nope. Tomorrow we work from home/homeschool our kids so its cereal for everyone!  #onedaycv #covidquarantine
