And with that in mind, we knew that other light fixture needs in our house would probably be met by Richard's handiness. At least until we can afford to just buy light fixtures like this one, which is on sale! For $715:
We liked the look of that light and others, but we knew that the price tag of any of those would be beyond our current means. So, we looked for other, similar fixtures or ways of finding the pieces and making one ourselves. (I include myself in that, but, let's be real -- it's all Richard.)
Recently we checked out Class & Trash, a thrift and antique store here in Richmond. And we found some lights! They had a bunch of these green guys, and we took two of them home.
We talked strategy and decided to paint the insides a bronzish gold and the outsides a nice, matte black.
Richard cleaned them up and painted them and then devised a plan to connect them into one light fixture since there was only one light box in the ceiling.
Again, I'll have to get Richard on here to guest blog and post about all of the nitty gritty, electrical details because I definitely don't know them.
