Good find, some nice etched or coloured glass shades will just set them off. Yeah! I am so tempted to go for some favrile shades because the colors are so stunning, but I kind of have to balance the fact that this might block out some light. I saw a reproduction favrile flame shade that came in blu...

Nice find! They sure do look like they belong to the same family. Those Uno fitters may be a later addition? Yeah I am not sure! Everything has the same color and patina, so it is hard to say. I did notice one of the sockets is a slightly different type though. With the fitters being there, I can c...

I love them! Nice work!

I found this sweet pair of sconces on eBay and am super happy. My hope is that they will replace the current depressing hall lights. If they don't fit there, I also think they would be quite nice in my bedroom on either side of the vanity. I have been casually looking for something special for the h...

Congrats on the progress, Willa! Exciting to get those windows uncovered!

Dad just made the front window frames. Unfortunately I still have to finish and glaze those, too..

The windows look phenomenal. I envy his glazing skills. Her glazing skills are good. lol! Thanks guys I am getting pretty decent at it! There is a steep learning curve. Willa, thanks! The attic is much nicer now. Can't wait to finish up the little side windows and the sashes and sills. Still a bit ...

I really want to replace my downstairs toilet with a high tank toilet. I was tempted to buy some parts I saw at a salvage yard but I wasn't in the headspace at the time to tackle another "project". lol

Larissa, if that hole in the wall is we’re you intended to set the finishing nails, I would the fix the draft that that blew your hammer off course. It all looks good, and soon it will look fantastic. Nice to have those windows done before the snow flies. Did you find a means to display your Art No...
