@SilleeMe The house I have has a Craftsman Style hint to its exterior.  This light would look just perfect inside in a different color metal.  Thanks

When I bought my house, I changed out every single fixture, both inside and out.  I got all of my lighting at arcadianhome.com.  

I had my electrician come to the house and I showed him printouts of everything I wanted to order, and made sure that it would cast enough light for each space.

They have some fixtures you might like:

@Puzzle Piece,

This is interesting. Many of today's new homes have lighting that was actually designed many years ago. One man, Frank Loyd Wright the architect, designed many lights back at the turn of the century. He is my design inspiration. As a young girl, I wanted to be an architect like him. If you get a chance go online and google Frank Lloyd Wright lighting....it's amazing!

OMG - our new house came with light fixtures no one would keep - the ones you can buy at Home Depot for around $10 - double yuck!! One of the first things we did was change out every single one. We went to a store that sells ceiling fans and lighting and ended up choosing everything from there -5 ceiling lights and 2 chandeliers plus 3 ceiling fixtures down a long hallway. However , I put out those cheap fixtures we took down when our community had a yard sale - marked them $5 each and they sold immediately.

Thanks.  Such beautiful lights.

I enjoyed FLW as a young female too.  Did a college paper on him and one of his works. 

I know we complain about this look or that look and I'm not to excited about certain styles I admit, but then I think it's American and it doesn't exist elsewhere in the world!  I then realized I have something special.

Speaking of Frank Lloyd Wright.... My dad was an architect and he LOVED Frank Lloyd Wright's designs. we actually went to the home -"Falling Waters" when I was a young girl - totally awesome, from what I remember anyhow. He was into clean lines and different angles. He was my dad's inspiration - and, it showed - my house was designed by my dad and it was totally modern from the ground up - no ordinary tract home there for sure!

I have a lot of Stickley antiques in my home - inherited from DH's grandmother who was married in 1905. i would find that I feel the art deco look of the other pictures in this thread don't appeal to me but these lights do as they appear to be more 1905 than the others which look more art deco - 1920's in style.
