If you're like me (and Rebecca, my niece) and you find free lighting and you have a husband/boyfriend/partner/friend that can do some illegal electrical work, then good for you!! By the way, I don't condone doing your own electrical work if you don't have an electricians license because it is VERY dangerous... but my darling husband is a jack of all trades and can just about perform miracles, thank goodness and yay for me.
Glass light shades; the white one had a few small rust marks but they're all gone now and looks as good as new. I love how the clear one has a million teeny little bubbles in it.
This boy is really heavy! Unique and fascinating and I'd love to find out more about it. Can't find a thing though....
Rebecca and I found two of these, we took one each and now she doesn't want hers anymore so she's passing it onto me - woohoo!
I think this one is very pretty and sweet... looks like a kind of 80's style because of the colour, don't you think? Still, I really love it.
This one is either copper or brass. I always get confused with the two.... but the more I look at it, the more I steer toward copper. Yes, three glass shades are needed for this.
Rebecca raced for this one, but then she passed it onto me - the doll that she is.
Funnily, this was being thrown out a few houses away from me about a year ago. I grew tired of its not so pretty look, so I dismantled it as much as possible to keep the 'spare parts', which always come in handy... let me tell you! The rest went to goodwill.
These are very heavy. I think I'm too frightened of putting them up because of that - don't know why. I like how it has lead amongst the glass.
A simple little thing also in need of glass 3 shades. One day I'll find them, I'm sure.
Last but certainly not least...this light stand didn't have the plastic shade on it - I just plonked it on there for looks, or maybe lack of. It wasn't working when I found it, but the trusty husbeast fixed it. I plan on making my own shade for this and it's either going to look spectacular or it will be a downright flop. My imagination tells me to use alaminium soda cans in a particular way. I shall not say too much more in case it does work out, then everyone will start copying my idea. NO NO NO, I do not want people to cash in on my original ideas!!!
