It was just a few days ago that I mentioned Kyle. In addition to creating his own funky artwork,
Kyle works at Paul's Place restoring and often resurrecting antique light fixtures.

| We purchased this gas fixture several months ago from Paul's Place. |
Kyle converted this early gas fixture to electric, maintaining the original features. (Originally the house lighting was fueled by gas. Several of the original house fixtures had been converted years ago but the front fixture was a small Arts and Crafts lantern).

Since the gas fixture was missing a canopy, Kyle took a paint laden canopy from another fixture,
cleaned it up, gave it color and created patina to compliment the fixture,
cleaned it up, gave it color and created patina to compliment the fixture,
and VOILA !
The electrician is scheduled to return tomorrow to hang more light fixtures. Check back to see this beautiful fixture in its new home on my front porch.
