I was trying to find one that looks like <a href="http://www.people.ku.edu/~henryt/porch_light.jpg" rel="nofollow">this one</a>, that is mounted in an old enclosed porch (with a long history of leaky roofs) attached to my house. Looks pretty close.<br /><br />Mine's got some rust on the base, but I cleaned up the shade and it looks spiffy. I want to see if I can get the rust off and move it to a more suitable location, like the kitchen. Anyway, I like your kitchen remodel. Gives me hope for mine.What's In Henry's Headhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02138883287064186087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1879253953162426815.post-34390215491768447392007-07-19T16:33:00.000-06:002007-07-19T16:33:00.000-06:00My partner and I live in a very old, rented house ...My partner and I live in a very old, rented house in Philadelphia which I'm sure at one point had amazing/charming original details. It cracks me up seeing the pictures of those new light fixtures, because there is one almost EXACTLY like a combination of both of them in our dining room and I DETEST it! Why can't they leave things alone and stop assuming they know what people like? (I don't know if it's allowed or not, but it's getting taken down for sure)<BR/><BR/>- SarahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1879253953162426815.post-73980895500903569392007-07-19T11:27:00.000-06:002007-07-19T11:27:00.000-06:00My pics are not good. . .but I stripped 5 layers o...My pics are not good. . .but I stripped 5 layers of wallpaper off the walls and put up a very <A HREF="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/84/270205281_dd25679560.jpg?v=0" REL="nofollow">retro wallpaper</A> I bought on eBay.
