    More pretty things. I could use those display shelves. Love the light fixture you chose. I have the old crystal chandelier from my uncle’s Brooklyn brownstone hanging over my dining table. It’s too long to hang anywhere else. Before I installed it, it hung in my parent’s’ garage (50s ranch) between their two vehicles. 😮 Scott your home keeps looking better and better.

    So happy for your choice of dining
    room chandelier 👏🎉👏 .
    What 👍 an elegant piece of history, you will need to include your Fans with a Champagne Toast, when it goes up, black tie, of course. Let’s not forget to mention the satin/silk trim on the lampshades will look perfect with your curtains!
    Your choice Scott has multiple looks you can easily achieve! The Philadelphia Art Museum and every vintage home in Villanova are sending you great thrifted finds in 2024.👍❤️👍💚👍

    Scott, When you showed the chosen light fixture on your Community tab the other day, I knew that she was the one that you had picked! She is a gorgeous Lady with tons of personality and charm, no wonder you are smitten! Hopefully the next time we see her she will be hanging elegantly above your dining room table and her mate will be adorning the living room ceiling! You know we always like a bit of mystery and intrigue and I think you enjoy keeping us in suspense over your decorating choices. You have excellent taste and it goes without saying that ultimately you have the final word on what goes where. Love your choice, she will be the life of your future Dinner Parties! xoxo

    I have that fan vase, I bought it at auction in a box lot with a bunch of antique decanters. Scott, my cost with the buyers premium was two,yes 2 dollars! I sold all four decanters for $210.00 and kept the vase. I have Christmas lights in the vase, as it's clear I never put it away.

    I love the choice you made for your dining room fixture. Just beautiful! The wall shelf is much like the ones I have. My dad used to carve them for knick knacks without the mirror in the back. I have one like yours with the mirror, but a little wider. I love them. I know they don't fit into a lot of younger peoples tastes, but I love them.

I loooove the light fixture, what's the sense of being an antiques collector and seller if you can't keep the really gorgeous stuff for yourself?.. great pick! your table will be quite the example of early 1900's elegance. 👍🏽

    Break time from Christmas crafting. Got my legs up and my bourbon eggnog with a dash of fresh grated nutmeg. Watching me some Old Curiosity Shop. My Christmas theme this year is vintage Santa....everything. I enjoyed yesterday's attic episode. I have an extensive collection of antique and vintage glass blown German and Polleinaise (Poland) ornaments. This year they are staying packed away...because this is the year of Santa. Change is good.

    Scott, try putting candleabra bulbs, clear or frosted one's with pointed thin tip into the pink lighting fixture and see how it looks? The wattage goes up to 60 on each one if you need it brighter. A good quality lighting fixture store may be able to help you with a customized tinted cover as well to hide the bulbs on that piece.
