Cone Light

May 21st, 2008

We installed the hardwire aluminum spun cone light I purchased off of Ebay. I love it – it fits perfectly and aluminum matches the base of the FADO lamp we installed in the den.

Also, it works! It didn’t catch on fire or anything. I think I’m getting the hang of this electrical thing.


Here it is above the newly painted desk…those handles will have to go….as well as that printer – YUCK.


I’m still trying to figure out what to do with the desk. I HATE IT and I’m not sure exactly how to make it more appealing…

I love this workspace put together by
Travis & Sara in Westchester, NY featured on Renovation Voyeur.
So clean and minimal, I love that you can’t see a bunch of wires and horribly ugly computer equipment. I hope to achieve a similarly seemingly wireless situation. White walls, gotta love some white walls.

    Wow I really like your blog! It’s amazing seeing your house shaping up.

    We’ve just moved into a house we built (in Australia) and the interior is nowhere near as finished as what you have achieved in such a short space of time….congrats!!!

    If it makes you feel any better, we still have boxes to unpack, 12 years later. Guess they must be really valuable.
    office – love that long computer banquette.
    oh, decorno sent me, I follow orders.

    You’d like my friend Joslyn’s blog:
