LIGHT FITTINGS - NINE DOWN, FOURTEEN TO GO

More progress on the light fitting countdown. Bathrooms are largely taken care of. I have decided to assign this large milk glass shade to the main bathroom, and have acquired a similar style flat milkglass shade for the guest bathroom.

While I was on a roll, I also bought this very economical pair of small milk-glass shades, which I am hoping will make cute sconces in the main bath on either side of the to-be-identified mirror.
For the halls, I have found another large flat holophane fitting for the downstairs rear foyer (very similar shape to this one purchased at The Country Trader for the front hall but very different price!).


I am hoping a second-hand street light (again from ebay but no decent photo) has enough presence for the main upstairs hall, and have bought a smaller round holophane shade for one of the smaller halls upstairs. I need one more shade in a similar style for the upstairs halls.


With the bathroom and halls largely taken care of, I am scanning ebay daily for large schoolhouse lights for the bedrooms. I found a set of three 16" light shades which would have been perfect for the upstairs bedrooms, but I fell asleep on the couch and missed the end of the auction. Up there on the list of great ebay regrets!
