When you walk into Johnny Albright's work space, you never know what you might find. Of course you can be assured of a well-stocked supply of vintage and current lamp parts. What always varies is the something special that makes a custom lamp fascinating and tells a story. Many customers trust Johnny with their treasures and ask him to turn them into a very special piece.
When you walk around the Little Red Barn, you'll find all sorts of new and vintage replacement parts for virtually any type of lamp. Finials, harps, sockets and bases are all neatly sorted and accessible. Through the years, the Albrights have purchased vintage lamp replacement parts when the opportunity arose.
Through the years, Johnny's taken care of chandeliers in various levels of disarray. Perhaps one of the arms broke and needed to be redone, Or the center ball needed replacing or bigger cups were required. Simple changes can make a huge difference. With the passing of time, the wires holding crystals in place can be broken with wear.

The Little Red Barn Lamp shop is so wonderful. The owners are the nicest people and have such a talent for finding and restoring amazing antique lights. We are slowly making our way around our house and replacing the light fixtures with beautiful gems from the Little Red Barn. If you like unique, one of a kind vintage lights, stop by the Little Red Barn - you will not be disappointed.

Great help on lampshades. Very knowledgeable on lamps & lampshades.
Don’t let her sell your houseful of antiques though.
When I bought lampshades, she told me to NOT take my things to a Goodwill, instead bring to her to sell. She assured me that she could sell our family heirloom pieces & antiques & she that has connections with coin experts, art experts, antique knowledge, clock experts and that she would research Antique prices on EBay, the Internet, etc. to get the top dollar for you.
She took a huge truckload of things & finally sent a measly check - not itemized. Not sure how or where
