light fixtures | River's world…..

Yes, there are still bare wires sprouting from our wall because the husband and I can’t agree on a choice of new sconces.

I really liked this one…

But it’s almost 13 inches wide and wouldn’t fit. .

Please note blogger Brian Lageose’s hilarious book Peppered Fruit to the right, nestled above Stephen King.

I got you brother.

I thought this mission light fixture would work…

Since our hutch…

And front door are the same style…. but the husband hated it.

I walked into the living room after showering the other day and found the husband had removed our old wall sconces beside the mantle.

Granted, I’d hated them since we moved in and always sputtered about replacing them but out of nowhere… bam!

After perusing a few sites? I fear purchasing sconces is going to be reminiscent of our furniture shopping debacle.

Here are some of the choices…
