light up my life.

this light is from uptown thrift. it cost me $9.99


i am planning to hang it above my dining room table once i am done fixing it up.
so far it looks like this...



i ordered some light bulbs that are amazing looking from school house electric . 
i figure with the open shade i needed something a little more interesting and design savvy then just the regular compact fluorescents that we have in every other light in our house.

 i am making baby steps towards turning this house into what i want it to be after having lived here for 3 years. no big deal. haha.

  2. you have to dig and dig sometimes but other times there will be gems like this. it takes a creative eye to see past the bad paint jobs and possibly a piece of furniture missing hardware but if you can imagine it, you can make it happen. i'm sure you will have no problem being able to do this. also boston is a mecca for thrifting. much better then okc.
