What's in the back of your car?

This is what the back of our car looked like on our last buying trip!  I don't know about you, but this looks like pure fun to us!  Watch for these items coming to life... maybe some of them already have!

Whisked Away





This unique table lamp is funk-a-delic!  A commercial mixing whisk and old pulley are matched together to make a statement.  This light measures 40 inches tall - not including the wood block . Depending on the bulb used, it can give a little - or a lot of light.  The photos in this post are with a 30 watt Edison style bulb that gives a low light subtle effect, but a 60 watt bulb gives plenty of light for reading.  All new and modern electrical components, this unit is wired with green reproduction cloth covered wire,  with the switch on the cord.  The metal base has been oiled and burnished to bring out the patina in the iron.  The brass whisk shaft has been left with the patina intact.We've displayed the light on a solid wood block but it would be equally at home on a side table.
$379.00 Guaranteed one of a kind!

Gorgeous Patina


Years of patina on the metal shade of this hanging light makes it absolutely glow when lit with an Edison bulb.  The cord is woven inside a hemp rope and is hung over two worn antique wooden pulleys that add to it's rustic charm. The vintage shade measures about 16 inches across and has a certain presence in a room that can not be ignored. There is heft to this light, it's not delicate!  This light is hanging over Bart's desk and casts a calming amber glow.  The sieve like holes in the top creates an interesting pattern of light and shadow above.  $249.00 Contact us regarding shipping.

Galvanized Funnel Light

We're having so much fun seeking out unique treasures.  This vintage galvanized funnel was just hanging out in a dusty corner and now it's a gorgeous light with a hand made edison light bulb, red vintage cloth covered cord, hanging from antique pulleys.  Plenty of light for reading, rustic but lovely.....and of course - one of a kind.  $195.  This could be hanging over your reading chair instead of mine!
