In between stripping 50 years of paint off doors, and creating a fire bowl out of a 55 gallon drum, Robert and I made this lamp set up to install on top of the radiator. I had two broken antique articulated lamps, and the wooden beam we salvaged a few months ago in north philly from a building that was being demolished.
These are the tops of some pretty amazing lights.
The ceiling that they hung from was about 20 feet high and the lights were about 5 feet tall themselves - quite impressive!
Do you need to carry a light outside at night but don't want the flame to be blown out by the wind? Place your candle inside this tin lantern and you're flame is safe.

The eighth light fixture is shown here mounted to the ceiling. The 12 gauge wire has been routed through, ready to be stripped, twisted, and connected as appropriate.
When you look at the before photos you can see how your sight line isbroken up by so many fixtures...the light switches, the counter top, the cupboards...

It's a wee bit off-side, but it manages to cover the improperly cut opening and keeps the fixture more stable.
Week 3 Day 7 of July's photo challenge: Light Fixtures

These little screws were by far the most annoying to work with. I am already having to be a contortionist, standing on the ladder at an awkward position, hurting my neck and back. And now the screw won't go in unless I very patiently (ha!) tweak the metal housing so that the holes line up just right, which is a trial in and of itself.
And of course, these small screws love to just drop out of the hole the first few times, so that you have to get off the ladder and find them.
Day Two of the July "lighting fixtures" challenge.
One of these things is not like the others...
I've worked in this building for over two years, and I don't remember ever seeing a lightbulb out in these three ceiling fixtures -- until today, when I brought my camera to work specifically to take a picture of them.
Pic didn't come out very sharp, so I had to fiddle with it some. Will probably try again before the month is over.
this is a shot from the first time i ate at max & erma's. i thought the light fixtures above the tables looked slightly different than the last visit.
