this light is a perfect example

In the dislike trends thread I put I'm not into all the exposed light bulb fixtures.  It just looks so 1890s in a weird way.

This morning I open up an email from TOH to this "Barn Pulley Light"

WHY?

[housegeek]

I love that <3

[thewop]

WTF indeed.

Okay, well here's the link, lol:

It's listed as easy to do in 2 hours for $77

My husband would probably love that... He has been on a "steam punk" kick lately ever since he played some video game.

Lol. I don't know why I like it, I just think its fun. It would be great in a study or photography/ art studio. Or a library.
Or I could totally see it in a theme-y bed and breakfast. I have none of those, so won't be doing it hah.

It would definitely need to go in the right room.

I found out those Edison bulbs are something like $9 EACH when I liked a light fixture that had them. Yeah, I changed my mind on that one, lol.

The orange extension cord kills this for me.

I thought I agreed with the hate-exposed-bulb thing until I saw this on joss and main this morning and fell in love. {{hides}}

It's perfect. . . for the creepy basement of a serial killer.

LOL@ this!

I like the idea of it, but not really the execution.

I like exposed bulbs, so take my opinion for whatever it's worth to you.
