Have a look at my older posts regarding my search for the 'right' lamp! <br /><br />Thanks, Karin --right, as usual! Always so great to see your comments here.<br /><br />Ray, I SO appreciate any & all your advice! (Please, no holding back)!<br /><br />I did exactly as you directed about the chandelier and it worked perfectly.<br /><br />Giac & Simon: your encouragement & enthusiasm compel me to 'press ever on!' <br /><br />Thank you, ALL!<br /><br />--JohnJohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10792529272804861727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726627179512343604.post-57017516908328570622011-09-27T07:08:37.053-05:002011-09-27T07:08:37.053-05:00Good Morning John!
The new lanterns are great! ...Good Morning John!<br /> The new lanterns are great! They have a "Vintage" look that the first one did not have. I agree with Giac, the light is more like candle or gaslight.<br /> I received an e-mail last night regarding a new post of "Thanks" for the help I offered as comment on an older post of yours. You had not forgotten to acknowledge my suggestions. It dawns on me that I might have sounded like a "know it all"......and that is far from the true reality of who I am. I have learned much from others over the years that greatly helped me advance my skills. So I am eager to pass along what little I know when someone expresses a need. I love sharing information that I have about miniatures and sometimes (like now) talk too much. So....to get to the end of this book I will be less in your face and not "Flood" you with text unless you ask. <br /> I am enjoying being part of "Merriman Park", and "Late Victorian English Manor Dollhouse" and "Miniature Enthusiast" Each new post from all of you is something I look forward to with great anticipation. <br /> So "Thank You" for the opportunity to get to know you through your miniatures.<br />RayRay Whitledge-Burgesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05551425182616768233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726627179512343604.post-60417790992703250062011-09-27T02:13:44.450-05:002011-09-27T02:13:44.450-05:00Hey John.

I love the lamps, they have a charming vintage feel to them. Plain old white lights would possibly have been a little fake and modern looking. You've done a great job on the chair rail and skirting board, even though it isn't fitted in place yet. I can't wait for the splats to arrive... Have a good week.

If anything I find the light looks very much like the gentle glow of a candle or of a gas burner.<br />I love the wall detail. The whole room is very elegant in it's simplicity. Very regal!Giachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04823654482564548862noreply@blogger.com
