Late Sheffield Colonial Revival Bent-Brass Chandelier, c1920
$575.00
It's the details that really matter when distinguishing true Colonial Revival lighting from cheap knock-offs.

Sears Hi-Glo Art Deco Chandelier, c1934
$725.00
It's great fun, we think, to imagine the fresh little family, dapper bachelor, or liberated career gal (with bobbed hair, natch) who picked up this little dandy from Sears in 1934. Would they, he, or she have realized they were part of the trend that would only later be named Art Deco?

Mission 5-Light Drop-Pan Brass Shower, c1910

Bowl Shade Fixture with Tulip Motif, c1920
$980.00
Here's a shape we don't see very often. We suspect the top shade is meant to evoke gas lighting, a throwback detail that would make sense for a Colonial Revival design. Both the upright and bowl shades are etched and wheel cut with a lovely tulip and leaf pattern that gives this antique a charm a...
Hammered Brutalist Chandelier by Moe Bridges, c1971
$1,200.00
This chandelier is a fine example of a trend within a trend within a trend. The streamlined Modernism of the 1950s and '60s produced a more ornamental and experimental version of itself called the Contemporary style in the late 1960s and 1970s. A controversial and much debated sub-trend of the C...

Mid-Century "Modified": 1962-1970
Born of 1950s Modernist idealism, Mid-Century Modern was eventually a victim of its own success. In the early 1960s, as the novelty of the style’s clean, rational lines and space-inspired imagery wore off, manufacturers tried to keep their customers interested – and gain a wider popular market share – by “modifying” the now-familiar fixture forms with new [...]

Do You Live the Polished Nickel Lifestyle?
From a historical standpoint, nickel was the sanitary finish for kitchens and bathrooms well into the 1930s. But imagine this, if you will: You're in your kitchen, polishing your nickel faucet, because nickel will tarnish over time, especially when exposed to moisture. You glance up from your polishing and into driveway to stare at your shiny new car. Which is shiny even though it's outside in the elements. Because that gleam is chrome, and chrome doesn't tarnish.

Salvage, Serendipity, and the Wings of Pegasus
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 [...]

On the Road Again
Part of my job here at Rejuvenation is connecting with the media to promote our latest and greatest new products. We’ve got a bunch of really exciting new lights and hardware headed your way in early July, so I’m getting ready to travel cross-country to the Big Apple to play show & tell with some [...]

Why a Rejuvenation Blog?
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 [...]

Moving Day/Broken Bones
Our cube may just be bad luck for those who inhabit it, so you can imagine our excitement when we were informed that we were moving into an office. It's cozy and we now have a door to keep Basil in and to ensure we don't disturb our new neighbors with our afternoon dance parties.

Not only is part of my job here at Rejuvenation to help concept & then design the rooms we showcase our lights within, but to take those designs and turn them into reality. [...]

The Golden Bear
One of my challenges as a salvage buyer is to find a really cool statement piece for our new store in Los Angeles. When I started looking, I was thinking we needed something really big, something with a great visual impact, and ideally something tied to California’s past. I was fortunate enough to find something [...]

Dig A Pony
Well, it’s official. Our Portland store has some new neighbors in the form of a cool little restaurant/bar called Dig A Pony, named after the Beatles song. The owners: Aaron, Paige and Jacob met with me several months ago about using our Hood lights to illuminate their bar, and they graciously agreed to blog for [...]

Road Trips With Rejuvenation
I’ve been in love with Airstreams since I was seven years old. I spotted my first one a cross-country trip with my family from New York to California and it was love at first sight. Airstream is an American icon that blends beautiful aesthetics with the love of home and travel wrapped up in one fabulous silver package.

Fine Dining Under the Hood
Recently, a foodie friend of mine suggested we dine at Aviary, a relatively new (and adventurous) restaurant in the Alberta Arts District. On that particular evening , a percentage of the restaurants’ profits were donated to support Japan earthquake relief efforts. That was an important draw – not to mention the Oxtail Croquettes and the [...]

On the Road Again: Day One Recap
Greetings from my cozy (closet-sized) hotel room in the Big Apple! No matter how many times I come to New York, I’m always amazed by how much is happening in this city, and today has been no exception, at least from where I sit. The day went a little something like this… I arrived at [...]

NYC Press Tour Highlights: Visiting the Hearst Tower
If you read my previous posts about going on press tour, you already know I recently did a lot of running around in New York City. I got to visit the work spaces for several of our favorite media outlets. I thought it would be fun to share photos of those spaces along with the [...]

Rejuvenation and Steelab - a Portland connection
For our new location in LA at Helms Bakery, opening this September, we have a brand new prototype display frame that was designed just for us — to show Rejuvenation’s lighting and house parts off to their very best advantage. I think you will like the results. The display framework (from which we hang our [...]

Schoolhouse Salvage
It’s back-to-school season: time for new knapsacks and – we say – old accessories! Here are a few of our recent salvage finds that are (almost) too cool for school. Given our commitment to preservation, is it any wonder we look back fondly on pre-PC days? Vintage beakers concoct a chem-lab-like display. Ah, globes: Remember how simple geography used [...]
