Fair sailing ahead

I must say I (we) are enjoying this juxtiposition of old and new technology. Our website is our main source of marketing and sales of restored vintage light fixtures. There was a time, not so long ago that some may remember, where electricity was a new fangled contraption which was feared, mis-understood, and generated awe. Sort of like the computer and internet today. We receive calls where folks find us mentioned in magizine articles, but they do not have internet or computer skills so they can search our website. One woman's obsession of vintage lighting promted her to take a class on the use of computeres and internet so she could view our inventory of antique lighting fixtures. Who would have guessed our passion of vintage lighting would have had this effect?
Bringing the old fixtures back to life, with a purpose, is what we do and the future for our businness continues to glow brighter every day.

One of the things that I have come to appreciate and enjoy about Vintage Lighting is the artistic way the colors of the fixture, chain, and glass all come together in an astheticly pleasing manner. In a way which would compliment any interior, from the natural wood in a Bungalow to the Victorian Ladies up on the hill.

I know I am not the only one who has mentioned this but have you seen the hidious colors some are painting and selling these antique fixtures? Some of these are painted with more vibrant, flashy, and differing colors than a Mardi Gras hooker in Rio. (Never been to Mardi Gras). The colors clash, showing no understanding of the basic color wheel, and are completely without basis in any color scheme for vintage interiors. Even though these highly irregular painted fixtures are advertised as historicailly accurate?!?

Even if one intitially likes these maniclly overpainted painted fixtures I cn only images one would tire of them sone and they would deffiniately be a turn-off when one tries to sell the house.

The most recient houe I purched had a bright purple rug. I almost did not purchase it because it was so hidious. The purchase was contingent upon that rugs removal.

Please Listen To Your Eyes. PB
