Sorry for spotty posts this week; I'm working with some killer deadlines.But I have to show you these inexpensive lights my beau was sweet enough to install for me recently (Grunge Queen is not handy in the least).
I picked this one up at Consumer's Lighting at 2482 Dufferin St. in Toronto - for $15!
It had a hole in the bottom that presumably some hardware was supposed to fit into, but it was missing. So I whipped out some glue and stuck a sparkly blue drawer pull to the bottom - doesn't it look great?
I'm not big on overhead lamps but this one is ambient - I put a lower wattage bulb in, and the cracked glass feature creates a softer look - don't you love the patterns it throws on the ceiling? So magical ....
My best friend gave me this one. It's a 1960s light fixture that her Dad had in the house he designed and built. When she bought the house she renovated and gave the lamp to me as she knew I loved it.This one also casts neat patterns on the ceiling.
I have thank my man for putting this one up too; it was tricky and took a while.
Like the other one this one isn't in-your-face like a lot of other hanging lamps and chandeliers - I like the understated bling of both of them.
By the way I am working on my list of Top Ten Thrift Shops in Toronto for you, by reader request - will post next week!
