And for those looking for stunning antique brass sconces, here you go. LOVE these, but they are too big for my mantel.

Who knew it would be SO difficult to find hall lights. Finally, I made a decision and bought this for the upstairs landing (which is 3x5 feet, with only a 7' ceiling):

And then I bought this one for the downstairs hallway (2-/12 x 9ft, 8 ft. ceiling):

And finally, this--because I thought it was so unusual, and because we needed a new light for the study, too. :)

I'm feeling extremely selfish at the moment, but hope that I will be happy when they arrive.

Nice lights, organic.

I'm having a hard time finding a front hall light too. I want it to be "foyer"-ish, but I don't really have a foyer, just an L-shaped front hallway, so I need something small, but the small stuff tends to look utilitarian. I wish I knew what was there originally.

organic_smallhome, I know how you feel after looking at tons of lamps for the bathroom. Next I have to find lamps for the living room. I'm getting dizzy looking at my laptop. The wonderful thing about the internet is the time and gas it saves us from running from store to store.

That school house lamp is fabulous - great for a study. You seem to have the knack for finding the perfect lamps for your home.

Organic_Smallhome, Thanks for thinking of me and showing me a picture of this adorable fixture that I put the link below. Unfortunately, it would be expensive to put lighting in my bedroom ceiling since it is a triangle cathedral popcorn ceiling with no light fixture there and I would have to hire someone and that is why I keep looking for bedside table lamps that have a lot of wattage that can be turned up or down.

Organic, I like all three light fixtures you bought that I would have liked also for my hallways in my home and it does give me ideas for the future but for now I am first working on one room at a time and I am on my bedroom obsession. :)

I too love vintage style light fixtures and someday hope to replace many of ours with them. Especially now that I have a couple sources for them online! Thanks Ladies!
Organic I love the ones you picked for you home.

bungalow_house: Is your house decorated in Mission or Arts and Crafts? I saw some scrumptious lighting that might work. How high are your ceilings and what style are you looking for?

sky: Thanks. It's crazy-making, isn't it? :)

lynn: Oops: I didn't know you didn't have any overhead lighting. I'm going back over to the other thread about your lighting. . . .

justgotabme: Thank you. If you want more links, just let me know--I've racked up quite a few. :)

Thanks organic! My house is colonial revival. The antique copper stuff tends to pre-date the house (which is 1922), but I want it anyway since it matches the hardware and the style is still compatible. Here is a pic of the antique dining room light fixture I found at Rejuvenation. This is antique copper. It's an acquired taste. :)

And this is the front hall where I need to find something similar. The ceiling is 8 1/2'. I'm thinking a short drop or a pan fixture might work best. I've been looking for a while now and nothing has jumped out at me so far. I have a search saved for antique copper fixtures, but sometimes sellers don't describe it properly as copper and I miss stuff.

Here's a "japanned" pan ceiling fixture. Would this work?

And if you wanted to stay with the single light globe type fixture. . .

Yes, that japanned pan fixture is *exactly* what I'm thinking. That one looks a little funky though...I think it was polished. The dark spots on these are actually spots that are oxidized, so when people polish them, they remove some of that and change the character entirely.

And I am already watching that school house fixture for my side door landing! I asked the seller yesterday to take a pic of it outside so I can get a better view of the finish.

Thanks organic!

bungalow: You're welcome! I love looking for antique lighting--have you noticed? Would this one work, or is it too big/expensive???

Wow. Who knew there was such a thing as restored vintage ceiling fans??? What about a fan in your entryway?

Okay, I'll stop--before I get to be too obnoxious. :)

Okay, last ones--I promise.

Thanks organic. :)

The first one strikes me as a bit too art deco-ish for my house. That last one is really nice!

Yes, I would LOVE to have one of those antique ceiling fans. But you'll notice there are no prices there? I inquired about one once. If I remember correctly, it was 2 GRAND! Just a bit out of my price range. :) But after seeing those, there's no way I could put a new fan in this house. Not that there's anything wrong with the new ones, but the antique ones have ruined them for me.

So did you get something for your mantel wall? Please post pics when you get something installed!

Organic, Yes, please post when you have pictures of one of the chandaliers you chose that you installed. I can't wait to see the pics.
