Lighting up the House : Part 1

I was going to title this post "I really MUST be stopped!" I have been on an Ebay tear. Snapping up not 1, not 2 but 3 more vintage light fixtures since the middle of last week when I posted on this beauty below! It may seem out of control but when the only light fixtures in each of the rooms literally consist of a series of dangling light bulbs, a girl can only take it so long. I've often wondered what the original lights must have looked like for this house (built in 1928). But they are long gone. Also must admit, I love to find a bargain and all of these were definitely that.

So this was the first purchase. Its going in the master bathroom. But we've been over that. So on with the show and tell.

Not 10 minutes later LondonHIM won this 1920's French fixture bound for the kitchen.

Not sure I can stand the bows on the globe however. I did find a great option for replacing it at Van Dykes Restorers. I'm reserving judment until after they arrive. It can be hard to tell from pictures.

Also a 1920's French Gothic pendant heading for the central hallway.
P.S. -All of these first 3 fixtures we purchased are from the same seller. Don't you wonder where he finds his wares.



The piece de resistance. This is going to the master bedroom. Crazy about the Greek key motif on this one.




So as you can see, I really must stop! --- For now. (After all there is still the living room, den, dining room, book nook and one bathroom to go!)
