Since we hung the drywall, our lighting has been… basic to say the least. \u00a0Just your regular CFL bulbs in basic white ceramic fixtures. \u00a0Upgrading them has been on our lists for years.<\/p>\n

Finally this month we did it. \u00a0The Living room got a Tiffany style stained glass fixture to match the other stained glass<\/a> down there. \u00a0We got this one on Amazon and it was a straight forward install. In addition to matching the windows, it has hearts all around it.<\/p>\n

The kitchen got a a bespoke piece. \u00a0Siri had the idea of using an antique copper colander as a shade if I could build the rest. \u00a0Sure can! \u00a0We ordered some braided wire, a cap for the ceiling and a copper socket. \u00a0Took a little while to get the height right, but it really makes for a brighter work area on the table below. \u00a0The little holes of the colander also make cool patterns on the ceiling. \u00a0We’re still trying to think of a better bulb, preferably lower profile, maybe even a circular florescent tube.\"CopperColanderLamp\"<\/p>\n

The lamp makes some nice patterns of light on the ceiling.<\/p><\/div>\n

The bedroom was last. \u00a0We had somehow managed to not break one of the original light fixtures that was in the bedroom when we bought the house 2.5 years ago. \u00a0These were some of the first parts to come down during demolition and they’ve been moved around the state of Maryland a few times since without breaking. \u00a0The rugged thing had finally won us over. \u00a0Its simple, has 2 sockets for bulbs and has a frosted glass cover with white paint on the inside with a pattern radiating out from the center.<\/p>\n
