Vintage Light

I have the glass bowls only from some vintage ceiling lights. How can I retrofit them to use them?

I’m remodeling a family farmhouse and want to use these to retain some old character. I only have the glass — the saucer type. They have three holes around the perimeter of the glass, so I’m guessing they hung from the original ceiling fixtures by beaded chain or something.

I’m semi-handy and can wire. Are there new fixtures I could buy that hang like this so I could change out the glass? Or should I make something from scratch, and how?

I’m an old house gal myself, and have had really good success finding replacement fixtures and/or bowls through old house lighting centers. A lot of those old styles are still being produced and I’m thinking you might be able to find the parts you need quite easily…. or, at the very least, you can look at the catalog and get an idea of how the fixture is supposed to look. I’m attaching a link to my favorite old house lighting resource.

Heaven’s Prisoners [VHS]


$14.50


When he emerged from film school in the mid-1980s, director Phil Joanou was touted as the next Steven Spielberg, perhaps because Spielberg took him on as a protégé briefly. Since then, it’s been “Phil who?” thanks to a series of mediocre thrillers like this one. Based on one of a series of novels by James Lee Burke about a troubled ex-cop named Dave Robicheaux, this film sat on the shelf for a c…

Susannah Grant’s brassy screenplay fuels this winning combination of star, director, and …
