Arroyo Craftsman has done it again, releasing a lovely new collection of outdoor lights called Berkeley. These lights are as smart and charming as they sound and are extremely versatile. Finish options include Verdigris Patina, Raw Copper, Mission Brown, Bronze, Rustic Brown, Antique Brass, Antique Copper, Pewter, Slate, Satin Black, and Polished Nickel. (Please note: Antique Brass, Antique Copper, and Polished Nickel finishes recommended for indoor use only.)

The glass options are equally diverse. Choose from Gold White Iridescent, White Opalescent, Frosted, Clear Seedy, Rain Mist, Off White, Cream, Tan, Almond Mica, and Amber Mica. (Though Mica options are not recommended for outdoor use and should only be used with 60 watt maximum bulbs to prevent warping.)

Clearly my favorite finish combination is the Verdigris Patina finish paired with the Gold White Iridescent glass. This pairing really highlights the rustic style and craftsman lighting design that Arroyo Craftsman is known for. These outdoor light fixtures have an incredibly solid and sturdy presence, as though they could weather any storm and have been around for time untold. There’s an almost Tin Man-esque feel to them, evoking memories of fairy tales from childhood.

But the Berkeley outdoor lighting family is no myth. These light fixtures range from outdoor hanging lights to post lights to outdoor wall lights. I’m immediately drawn to the outdoor post light from Berkeley. I can easily picture this lamp post proudly weathering the elements in both the most rural farmland or the most cosmopolitan metropolis. The post lantern measures 13.25″ high with a diameter of 8.375″ and would add a charming, rustic touch to any craftsman style home, gracing the driveway or an outdoor path with a hint of practical elegance.

This light fixture is extremely versatile because it comes in a wide variety of sleek finishes: Bronze, Raw Copper, Mission Brown, Verdigris Patina, Rustic Brown, Antique Brass, Antique Copper, Pewter, Slate, and Satin Black. And if that isn’t enough choice-wise for your average outdoor lighting guru, then check out the impressive array of types of glass available for Avenue fixtures: Gold White Iridescent, White Opalescent, Frosted, Clear Seedy, Rain Mist, Off White, Cream, Tan, Almond Mica, and Amber Mica.

Here are just a few of the choices–mix and match to create your dream fixture:

Avenue outdoor wall light fixtures definitely remind me of classic Tudor style homes, with all of the strict, geometric lines combined with natural colors. The Craftsman style lighting design of these fixtures is timeless, an ode to functionality married to form. The fixtures come in a number of sizes, ranging from 10″ to 15″ high and 6″ or 8″ wide, depending on your outdoor lighting needs. I think that Avenue wall sconces would be a perfect addition to any front door or garage, especially if you’re going for that Old English vibe.

Arroyo Craftsman has unveiled a gorgeous new family called Timber Ridge which features so many versatile sizes and finishes that you could decorate your entire cabin and never use the same light fixture twice. The lush craftsman and rustic styles of the Timber Ridge outdoor lights will speak to the heart of any true nature lover. You can mix and match outdoor wall light fixtures with lamp posts with outdoor hanging ceiling lights and create a real woodsy atmosphere with minimal effort.

These lovely lights come in a variety of finishes: Bronze, Raw Copper, Mission Brown, Verdigris Patina, Rustic Brown, Antique Brass, Antique Copper, Pewter, Slate, and Satin Black. The glass options are equally diverse: Tan, Gold White Iridescent, White Opalescent, Frosted, Clear Seedy, Rain Mist, Off White, Cream, Almond Mica, and Amber Mica. Anything your heart desires in the way of outdoor rustic lighting options is available with the Timber Ridge lighting family from Arroyo.

I’m personally drawn to the Timber Ridge outdoor wall sconce. (Product Page: http://www.brilliantoutdoors.com/ar-trb-12dr.html) Its dimensions are 15″ high by 12″ wide and it extends from the wall by 14.5″. But more than its impressive size and sturdy craftsman construction, I’m especially touched by the playful nature scene delicately depicted in the frame–a young buck in a forest, back lit by a setting sun. Nothing could be more regal and endearing.
