Massive light fixture hanging in the conference room at the FIFA building Zuerich. The walls in there are clad in platinum! No joke! I was asked not to lean on them because of their value.Total costs of the building were CHF 240 million!
See more in my FIFA set.
This place was wonderful - great food and a kitschy atmosphere. If all of you in the Northeast are wondering why you can't find 1950s chome tables and Mid-century advertising that's because it's all here at the Friendly Toast.
Live, travel, learn.
Most important travel tip learned on this trip -- Do NOT fly Delta through Atlanta Hartsfield airport. Baaaaad idea.
My flight left Pgh late, because the plane arrived into Pgh late. Suffice to say, sprinting through the Atlanta airport did not do me any good. By the time I had waited an hour to get to the head of the ticketing line, I had already been back and forth on hold on the phone to Delta to rebook my flight.
In my case, I had made it to the gate, to see my plane still sitting there, for another 10 minutes even, but the gate door was already closed when I got there.
But, mine was not the best story. A rather attractive blonde woman behind me in line had also come in from Pgh.
She was booked on a once-a-day flight to Brazil. As she walked into the gate area of her flight, the gate agent saw her coming....
... and ran to get ahead of her, then closed the gate door in her face and said "it's closed."
I have since been told, that even other Delta employees hate dealing with Delta in Atlanta. I can certainly believe that.
Anyway.... this hanging light was in the airport bar in the Atlanta airport. The dinner voucher that Delta had given me paid for a beer, and the breakfast voucher paid for most of a quesadilla to sit next to it.
I had just barely made it in time for last call, at 9:30. Sheesh

The Jellico Motel, just off I-75, Jellico, Tennessee. I haven't been able to determine exactly when it closed, but it appears to still have been in business in at least 2014.

In 1957, Edmund Bacon, the executive director of the Philadelphia City Planning Commission, awarded developer-architect firm Webb and Knapp the competition for the redevelopment of Society Hill. Architect I. M. Pei and his team designed a plan for three 31-story Society Hill Towers and 37 townhouses. The Towers and townhouses project was completed in 1964, while the entire plan was completed in 1977.
In the Society Hill Historic District #71000065 and #71001102.

Been very interesting to watch the ice slowly melt from the big storm in December. This is all that remains now.... see the earlier images below. Kid of hard to believe it is melting at all with the cold temps we've had recently.
After removing the old fan, we realized that the junction box was not ready to hold a new fixture, and with no knowledge of what the box was (or wasn't) mounted to, we decided to bypass it when securing the fixture mount bracket. With advice from our Menard's guy, we came up with this plan, which was a success in the end. We are lucky to have the crawl space to work from the top.
I should note also that this illustration is not accurate, as the placement of the 2 bolts is shown off by 90 degrees. Where the bolts are shown to come thru the attic floor boards in a line parallel to those boards, the line of bolts is in actuality perpendicular to the boards such that each bolt comes up into a different floor board.
To all those mounting a new fan into the ceiling with junction box unknown, I wish you luck.

Hegle chased her "being naughty on the turntable" portrait yesterday with a showcase of another of her nastiest habits -- chasing the dining room chandelier. (She's tough to get in focus because she just goes and goes and goes.)

The kitchen before we started the renovation work. The linoleum was peeling off the floor. The cabinets, while pretty in a way, were not our style. The paint was blah. The benches were a little too busy for my tastes. And the ceiling fan's pull chain was broken (and it wasn't connected to a switch anywhere, to boot).
This was taken slightly after work had begun, which is why there are no appliances or a kitchen table in sight.

Hanging out at the lobby of the hotel, enjoying the free and fast WiFi. Getting weird looks from the front desk agents on duty, and suspicious looks from other guests in the lobby, and those getting off the elevator. They probably thought I was spying on them, hoping to get a whiff of a scandal or a scoop.
No scandal, no scoop, just getting fascinated with the changing light patterns of this columns, and juicy tidbits of other people's lives as they talked and gossiped amongst themselves in loud voices. (making it easy to overhear/eavesdrop, and besides they were in a public place -- can't help myself). A good couple hours all in all. :)
#LightFixtures - Diy mason jar light fixture, Create your own decorative light courtyard garden and conservatory with a glass bottle and a bricklayer crafts few. Craft stores sell glass jars for canning purposes, but you can also recycle used a mason jar from the pantry to the lights. Mason jars are not only...
This thing is heavy, and 3 1/2 feet tall. It takes a little spot light bulb at the bottom. I've yet to hang it. Has a bright purple cord.
(the hotel on 46th has been renovated)
Never underestimate this group -- I thought this might be unguessable, but no. John nails it as a BC Ferries ceiling light.

We toured the Frank Lloyd Wright House and Studio in Oak Park Illinois last month when we visited Chicago. I like the murals and the stained glass.
Founded in 1901, the First Baptist Church broke ground for a new church in 1929 when it outgrew its frame church further north along 45th Street. Roscoe I. Vaughn, a long-time African American architect and educator, designed the church using a modified Gothic style common for urban churches of the period; it was completed in 1938. In December 1960, First Baptist broke ground for the massive "addition" on the adjacent corner lot. Designed by Ronald E. Senseman, the new building was oriented to Sheriff Road and contained a spacious new sanctuary with social, educational, and support spaces below.

Old Seoul Station, built in 1900, had been lying abandoned and neglected ever since the shiny, big and new Seoul Station was built next door in 2004.
I'm so glad they are using it for art exhibitions now. Last week I went to the Seoul International Photography Festival there. I did spend a lot of time looking at the photos, but mostly I was mesmerized by the fancy old chandeliers. I hope they preserve these ornate light fixtures.
