SCHOOLHOUSE EXPANSION
Vintage-inspired lighting company Schoolhouse Electric is making a play to take over your entire home: It’s rebranding as Schoolhouse Electric & Supply Co., and it’s selling far more than light fixtures.

The November issue of Interior Design features a Tribeca apartment by Ghislaine Viñas that’s a real kick. Plus: Best shower ever (or not, in one commenter’s opinion…).
