Crystal chandeliers, old converted oil lamps, beaded lamp shades, and vintage sconces all evoke a sense of nostalgia and elegance when lighting a home. Lighting expresses not only your mood but your taste as well. I enjoy trapsing through flea markets and tag sales looking for that diamond in the rough-a vintage lamp or chandelier in need of some TLC and still sparkling with crystal prisms or sporting its original gas switches.

This vintage chandelier was found at an antique yard sale. Although it no longer sheds light it is the perfect perch for a musical cherub.
