Handcrafting Colonial and Country-Style Lighting Since 1983
Katie's Light House has been making high quality colonial reproductions since 1983, when Katie herself began hammering out tin decorations and lanterns in her garage. Today, Katie's Light House employs more than 20 people in the small town of Cridersville, Ohio.
Much has changed, but we still make each light by hand. Using lathes, chisels, hammers, and bending tools, we cut, carve and shape each piece to primitive perfection. Our American artisans then paint and distress our products by hand as well, producing some of the most beautiful and convincingly antique finishes available. Meanwhile, our tin products and components undergo a proprietary aging process that gives them the blackened appearance of genuine artifacts. Finally, each product goes through rigorous testing and inspection to bring you the highest quality reproduction light fixtures possible.
Since they are made and finished by hand, no two Katie's Light House products are exactly alike. Each piece is unique, brimming with personality and character. It is not only a light fixture but also an heirloom, an investment. Our products are built to stand the tests of time and fashion and passing fancy just like the colonial artifacts we so admire.
When you buy one of our lights you are doing so much more than furnishing your own home. You are contributing to American industry and helping to preserve the heritage of this great nation. For all of these reasons, we know you will take as much pride displaying our gorgeous lights in your home as we do in making them.
Proud to be an American? Buy a colonial light fixture from Katie's Light House.

The following is a reply from Katies Colonial Lighting to our question – "Are your products American Made?"

How do you know the products you have listed are Made in the USA?
Before including products in our database we review the advertiser’s website and/or contact them to ascertain the origin of their products. Some advertisers sell both Made in USA products and foreign ones. Therefore we highly recommend you review FAQ 2.

We immediately investigate any complaints regarding deceptive Country of Origin claims. If we determine an advertiser's claim is not truthful we will immediately remove the product/s from our database and suspend our relationship with the Company making the claim.

To document your complaint, email us by using our Contact Us page. We can only respond to complaints that have been submitted in writing.

What does Made in USA mean?
There is no law requiring most products to be labeled Made In USA, or have any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes (see our Big Secret tab), if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on its label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. This is true because the product without the country origin on its label has at least some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not.

Note: Imported products are required by law to country of origin on their label and products partially Made In USA do not. To answer this question completely reviewing our Labeling Tips 1, 2 & 3. These tips are accessible from scrolling to the bottom of our home page clicking Browse All Tips button.
