A compact fluorescent that's as beautiful as it is energy-efficient. We, and others, have been very taken with the industrial style. Many of our lighting options were made to show the bulb, and it's exciting to have such an artful bulb to show -- especially since it's five times as efficient as an incandescent.

It’s well known that Portland is blessed with loads of creative talent. Over the years, Rejuvenation’s appreciation for handcraft has allowed us to forge connections with several local artists. We’re excited and proud to to present the work of four of our favorites, which will be on display and available for purchase at Rejuvenation’s Portland [...]

Ultimately, don't fear the bulb ban! When incandescent bulbs were invented over a hundred years ago, overconsumption of energy wasn't on anyone's mind. Nowadays it's not only best for the planet, but best for your wallet. (We saved roughly $1,000 a month in energy costs after switching the lightbulbs in our Portland store to CFLs!) Think about your lighting needs, pick a smart alternative, and you'll be juuuuuust fine.

Holophane is one of the one of the oldest manufactures of lighting in the world. Founded in London in 1898, they used the joys of science and mathematics to direct and amplify what little light carbon filament bulbs put out. These beauties were crafted out of borosilicate glass, a tough hardworking medium used in everything from cookware to telescopes optics.

From Steampunk and Edison bulbs to hot new restaurants and trendy stores making chandeliers out of “barn door trolleys” (those are actually hay bale trolleys, for those who appreciate authenticity), it is hard to miss the rising popularity of Industrial Lighting.  So, what does “Industrial Lighting” mean from a lighting historian’s point of view? While [...]

Check out Portland customer Tiffany Chandler!   Check out that fabric! Little did she know her stylish purse was a perfect match to one of our most comfortable midcentury chairs. She was kind enough to pose for a picture.   Tiffany said her boyfriend picked up the bag at Edgefield‘s gift shop. Two thumbs up to the [...]

Justin Grow is one of our salvage buyers. Like many of our salvage folks, Justin’s eclectic background informs his work. He’s studied historic preservation. His father was a fine artist who loved restoration projects. His mother taught music and owned a frame shop. He grew up visiting antique stores with his parents and “playing” with [...]

Well, it’s like this: We’re people-people! Which we realize is kind of cliché, but it’s really true. When Jim Kelly opened Rejuvenation as a salvage shop in 1977, his purpose was simple — to find (and later make) the lighting and house parts he, his friends and his fellow Portlanders needed to renovate their cool [...]

A friend of mine was looking through the online archives of the Library of Congress and forwarded this handsomely designed poster with a message of conservation…  from 1917. I love the look of the pullchain socket (just like the one found on our Mock’s Crest fixture) and the iconic tip of that old style bulb. You [...]

Using the right bulb can be as dramatic as the difference between lightning and a lightning bug!
