At some point, I’m sure our 1920′s bungalow had charming lighting. I wish I knew what our house looked like when it was all shiny and new, because any trace of delightful illumination is long gone. Somewhere along the way, all of the lights in our house were replaced with these brass beauties.
Any takers? Feel free to make an offer – we have 5 of the fixture in the middle! Silliness aside, my next round of redecorating is going to address these lights, and I’ve already found my first replacement. I was inspired by this chandelier from Pieces:

This fantastic vintage find is well out of my price range, but this one from Shades of Light is a steal in comparison.

I will leave the shades off, and I love the round light bulbs in the Pieces chandelier. The best part of this chandelier is that you can have it painted in a custom color! Now I just need to decide where it should go – the dining room, the master bedroom, Violet’s room… Stay tuned to see where it ends up!

We’re lucky we have a few original lights left in our 1920 cottage…but several of the not so charming ones you have too! I actually just found an old chandy outside an antebellum house today and plan to hang it above our kitchen table!
I LOVE that pagoda chandelier – I’m having my parents hang the very same Shades of Light one in their bay house in red!

I’ve got a couple of the fixtures in the center photo too! They are definitely on the list to be replaced. I look forward to seeing your new fixtures.

Oh we just went through that this past year with our house that we’re remodeling! We tried to save some bucks and just revamped a couple of them until we get ready to splurge on some new ones. I actually loved how they turned out! How much do you want for the dining chandelier? I could use it as another fun project . . .
Slowly but surely we have been replacing our lights too. It is so worth it!
