Nifty lamp!

Is that milk glass?

Yes it's solid brass not plated.

My heart palpitates when I see projects like this. Some people gush over vids of kittens and puppies, I gush over pics/vids of removing drywall to find wood panels or beadboard underneath, lol.

You know... I think every continental European would immediately think of Milka chocolate (a Nestle brand) seeing the exterior of your house All their chocolate wrappers are a very similar colour.

Oooh Milka chocolate!
Now I have not had that in a while...hmm wonder if can get it over here in the US?
Edited to add- I see it is sold over here, I used to love the nutty one,wonder if it still tastes the same,I may have to do some sampling!

Oops I forgot to say I also love your house and that porch light is wonderful!

Tony, I think that light just belongs there. Nice light and a great location to show case it.

Tony, that is a gorgeous fixture.

I love progress images and how to videos a lot. I do have a site I go to for my adorable otter fix, but I look at far more house and furnishings related images than otters.

We went up to NH for an errand tonight, and as I was looking upon all the lovely homes along the way and found myself smiling, I asked Sean, "Do you think I'll ever get tired of old houses? I mean, will I eventually say, 'Well, there's really only 23 or whatever types, and after a while they'll all just seem the same old, same old?'" He actually turned his head and looked right at me even though he was driving with a really confused "who are you and where is my wife?" face before turning back and answering, "I don't think so. Think about how even within those 23 they're all different and there are further breakdowns. Each one has its own details that give you something new to find. Some have changed, some are falling apart, they're all different." I honestly don't know why that question even entered into my head, other than I was thinking about various hobbies I've had over the years, so maybe my brain made the jump that way. In my heart, I know he's right as long as these homes stick around for me to look at whether in person or through places like this.

Food won the brain battle again, I see. I have this happen a lot to me.

Hehe, that's like my brother when I briefly contemplated having someone convert our original windows to double-pane glazing and he said: "Who are you?!? And what did you do to my brother???"

The project never happened anyway because how could I possibly tear out original wavy glass? Not nearly as bad as replacing the entire windows with PVC but bad enough.
