this old house


i love the house i live in. it was custom built in the 1950's by the original owner and has some delightfully quirky features. we've lived here almost 14 years and are just the 3rd owners. when we moved in, this light fixture was up in a cupboard. it needs little chains to hold it up and i've never taken the time to look for them. i showed it to brian, thinking it would be perfect for the "elegant" front hall and he's going to fashion something to make it work. i love that it will finally be put to use.
