My wife and I finally installed our light fixture in the entryway of our home. Until this week, we have been starring at a hole in the ceiling created by me for a couple of years now. Its refreshing to have it done.
Words of Wisdom: NEVER USE A SAWS-ALL FOR FINISH WORK ON LATHE AND PLASTER. That is, unless you want the lathe and plaster to disappear completely from your wall, or in this case ceiling studs. It took a lot of mud work to fix my insane "handy" work with the saws-all.
Kim and I purchased three minuature chandeliers like this off Ebay two years ago. Priced then ranged from $25-$95. Kind of wacky on the price variation. Kichler no longer makes these so it was great that we found them to stay consistent in our home. As you can tell, we are particular to the tiffany glass mission style for our home. It fits the clean lines and stately woodwork in our house. Here are the two other matching chandeliers.
One of my greatest pet peeves is the installation of light fixtures in a home that do not fit the period in which the home is built. With a little advanced planning and some patience, affordable fixtures can be found to accent any historic home.
