1920's ceiling fixture
Many moons ago, this light fixture was removed from my childhood home to make way for a fancy (but simple) crystal chandelier. This fixture was original to the home which was built in 1920. It languished in the garage at my mother's old home for years, even decades. When she sold the house to move into a bungalow (for the benefit of her aching knees) I claimed the fixture for my own. I recently had it refurbished by a fellow at Aberfoyle Antique Market for a very reasonable price. Yesterday, finally, about 5 years later, we installed it in our dining room. I love the style and the fact that it is a link back to my past. It suits the Mission Style dining room quite nicely.
Ceiling Fixture Box
According to code, plaster has to come up to the box. Since the contractors weren't contracted to do anything the the upstairs ceilings, I had to do this myself with some fiberglass tape and joint compound. Tomorrow I'll sand then I'll stick up my ceiling medallions.
