It’s been a long time coming but… we have sconces! Yeah! No more horrible ’80s can lights! At some point in our bungalow’s history, someone had the bright idea (no pun intended) of ripping out all of the original lighting and putting huge recessed can lights in the ceiling. Even on a dimmer you always felt you were being interrogated when you were in the living room or den at night.

We’d been looking for something “right” for months. We wanted to go vintage but needed a matching set of four for the living room and another matching set of four for the den—it’s tough enough finding a set of two you like, this was impossible. Then, Rachel discovered Revival Lighting.

After several calls and emails with Dave at Revival Lighting (thank you, Dave!) we decided on The Peyton for the den and The Carlton for the living room. Installing them turned out to be more dificult than expected, but then, is that a surprise? Now we’re on the lookout for some nice lamps to compliment the sconces. It’s always something.
