My dad made this lamp in high school wood shop, so circa 1950. It was catalpa wood so very orange. I chalk painted it, but have struggled to find the right shade for it over the years. Then I was in Ace the other day and saw these "fairy bulbs" and fell head over heels. Who needs a shade?
With all of the cool new Edison bulbs and other creative bulbs that are meant to be seen these days, updating light fixtures just got a whole lot easier. Big bonus: the light this bulb casts is soft and warm and dare I say "magical" so it adds a lovely romantic glow to the room! It also comes in a rainbow version that would be great for a kid's room. So many possibilities.....
