Check it out- custom kitchen lighting, designed & implemented by Rob:

Artemide handblown murano glass shades:

Aircraft wire from my dad’s collection, escutcheon plates from a treasure hunt at Lighting Emporium on 2nd Street:

Porcelain sockets and misc hardware from Home Depot:

Shade holder crafted from 1/2″ mdf and the locknut at ceiling was cut from a plastic washer on a scroll saw:

Total for both, under $100. And of course, wired up by the house Electrician, for free. Love it!
