Lighting Redo

I bought this old light on eBay about a year ago for $12.00 including shipping.

Not much to look at.

Big Ran and I have been working on polishing this baby up on and off for about six months.

Here it is all torn apart after it was scrubbed and polished up.

This light was patented in May of 1910.

I can't believe we found a date on it.

This was a labor of love.

It's not perfect, but it is perfect for our house.

I can't wait to get this put up in the new house.

I'm thinking maybe the half bath room.

It's made of jute.

Capiz Shell Lighting Love

Yes!!!

These are mine!

One of these big ones.
It is called a Capiz  Shell Artichoke Pendant.
It's vintage from 1910-1950.
Pretty cool, huh?   

I also got two of these small ones.

They are called capiz shell pendants.

It is vintage from the 1960s.

What do you think???

I am in love............

Brick is Going Up

They have finally started putting some brick up.

We are having stone put around the windows to match our massive stone walls at the basement walk out.

I am loving it.

I can't wait to see the final product.

We are getting ready to put our house up for sale that we are living in now.

I am getting it ready room by room.

I'll be posting some pictures on here pretty soon.

If you are interested in it, let me know.

Chandeliers

I spotted these chandeliers in a restaurant in Little Rock, Arkansas.

The first one is kind of blurry.

 I hope you can tell how cool it is.

It has electric candles on it, topped with upside down empty wine bottles.  

The blue and the purple crystal chandeliers just took my breath away.

G E O R G O U S 

Wouldn't any of these chandys look great in my new house??

I think they would, too.

Bible Verses on The Shell of the New House

I read a lot of other peoples blogs and I found this on one and I had to do it.

I wrote some Bible verses on the sheet rock and studs in the new house.

Oh yes, without the Lord this house would have never been started!

This is my favorite verse since I watched the movie Courageous.

                 Maybe someday when we are long gone the new owners of this home will want to change the house around, take out a wall or two and find some of these verses.  

Wouldn't that be cool?!

Insulstion

The  house is on the first round of two of the foam insulation.

I have seen this done on television before, as we watch HGTV a lot, but this is very cool to watch in person.

I highly recommend it. 

It feels warmer in there already!!

Now Big Ran can finish putting up the rest of the sheet rock.
