Shine a Light – or Two
I have now taken the first concrete steps toward home office renovation and showed my crude sketches to a contractor, who is putting together a bid for us to renovate our A-frame garage into a work space. Billy, the contractor, asked if I wanted to recessed lighting but I’m envisioning something more industrial involving Edison light bulbs. I’m crazy about the chandelier (pic below) at Gjelina restaurant in Venice, CA which is fashioned out of an old pot rack with hanging bare filament light bulbs. Dreamy, but perhaps a little much for my modest space. In a similar vein, I’m thinking vintage cage lights. Maybe three or four hanging from the rafters? I’ve started sourcing and Ebay has a decent selection of vintage cages, or there are any number of antique reproduction hardware sites that sell pieces to build my own.
