Lighting the Way — With Outstanding Service
When Bay Shore Lighting and Home was named in 2005 as one of the top 50 creative retailers in the nation by the prestigious trade publication Home Accents Today, the honor was well-deserved peer recognition of the outstanding service this 62-year-old family-run business provides for its clientele.
“Lighting is not just about design; there’s a technical aspect that you really have to understand,” says Marilyn Schulman, the second generation of her family to own and operate Bay Shore Lighting and Home, which was founded by Harry Schulman in 1945. “We offer the ability to make a major job go very smoothly.”
Bay Shore Lighting and Home combs the major nationwide markets, such as Dallas, Texas, and High Point, North Carolina, for unusual, fashion-forward merchandise that’s not available anywhere else. In the store, outstanding technical expertise is provided by experienced salespeople, who are all certified lighting consultants. You’ll also find many items that, in Marilyn’s words, “make a house a home,” including decorative accessories and objects, occasional furniture, wall décor, fl oral arrangements, tapestries, framed art, photographs and mirrors.
