ANOTHER VINTAGE FIXTURE HUNG

That was then....

and 

THIS IS NOW.

Hanging outside its new home on the 2nd story deck

Admittedly, the fixture requires a more decorative bulb but this one did in a pinch in attempts to pass

the electrical inspection.

MY FRONT PORCH

    I am rather taken with the look and feel of my front porch on Hawthorne Avenue.  Looking at the white fan against the soothing blue of the ceiling and the whimsy of the leaf motif on the early gas (converted to electric by Kyle) fixture pleases me.

This is where I will be this Friday evening with a cool bottle of wine, some cheese, water crackers, and fresh fruit.  Friends, if you are in the neighborhood, stop by and visit.  There will be room on the wicker swing or in a rocker!

CALLING FOR INSPECTION

    The house is rewired and the remaining interior lighting fixtures are hung.  It is time to call for inspection.  We have an eclectic mix fixtures.  Does anyone have a favorite?

BACK WHERE THEY BELONG

A month ago I was re-wiring old fixtures.  Today they are all in place...back where they belong.
