I love the entire kitchen; you should be very proud of how you brought this together! Our kitchen was added( by our family, designed by myself and with a vision for our needs) 23 years ago; the beautiful aesthetics are still a solid base. Cherry cabinets, 14 foot window over the sink( looks out on kitchen garden, I don't like dark!). There are some aspects of this kitchen you did I would like to e corporation into a re-do here; I am familiar with Vintage Bath and will find the faucet there....but the beautiful brass hanging light over the sink?
Renovator's Supply or a vintage find?
Our house was built in 1876; only one family prior to ours with a gap year rental family..uggggg. We have been able to remove their year of damaged decisions and joyfully raised 10 beautiful kids in the now well used 23 year old kitchen. It's ready for a facelift; we are in Indiana and will have to find local help and do much ourselves but you have a natural understanding of the beautiful bones of a home! Amazing end product for this family!

Hi Kay Montes -

Thank you for your kind words about the Alhambra Kitchen; I can see that you really "get" the design!!

I wish I could come out to Indiana and help you - but I'm happy to share any wisdom that may be of use.

The pendant light fixture is one made of a combination of vintage and reproduction lamp parts, and I'll tell you my technique for creating this look. First I do usually look for an original vintage pendant, and Etsy.com is a good source for these, in addition to your local antique or flea markets and good salvage shops. For over the sink I like to use a

2 1/2" fitter glass shade, like the one pictured here. At the very least you should be able to find a vintage shade and use it as the basis for your design, if you can't find a whole fixture in good enough shape.

The other elements of the pendant can be ordered and assembled from antiquelampsupply.com, and your local hardware store or electrical supply. I prefer brass components, but you can choose what you like. You need the fitter piece - the bottom of the fixture that has three screws usually to hold the glass shade in place, and has the socket for the light bulb. Then you need the canopy -- the piece that sits next to the ceiling and hides the crossbar, or other lighting mount which holds the weight of the pendant and covers the electrical connection. In between you need matching chain through which you will thread your electrical wire from the ceiling down to the socket.

If you're handy you can make the whole thing yourself. If not - just take it to your lamp repair shop or your handyman, and have them put it together for you. Remember to leave a bit of extra wire (and chain) to make it long enough; better too long than too short -- it can always be shortened! I like to see my pendant in front of the window - or whatever the backdrop is behind your sink. Remember to allow clearance for any windows that open INTO the room -- they may hit the light otherwise.

Good luck with the restoration of your home -- it sounds wonderful!

All best,

Julia

Oh Julia, sounds like you and I could be kindred spirits! My family often wonders at my strange stash of odd and ends in my workspace.....until it shows up in the house as a functional item! Probably best you live on the West coast and I remain working on projects through the cold winter months or we would be co-creating marvels! How do I share photos a recently renovated Summer kitchen with you? I glance through lots of the homes shown on Houzz; what you did was the first to absolutely grab my attention!
Thank you for the guidance;
It would have NEVER occurred to me to check on Etsy for a piece or part! I have ordered some gift items but had no idea there were other "re-visioners" to be found there! I also was unaware of antique lampsupply.com . I checked that out last night! I am not yet certain what grabbed my eye so much with your work; I love to be outside so never ever want an open shelf that needs to be dusted....but your vision was genius and I hope that family loves and appreciates all that you did to make their home so warm and welcoming!
I am currently knee deep in gutting a high Victorian upstairs bathroom and learning to refinish my first original tub and sink fixtures! Cast iron and I would literally have to tear a wall out to remove them.....so why ever would I do such a horrible thing to this beautiful old girl! She's holding tight to the originality of the first ever indoor bathroom put in this house! I am saddened to share that someone took all the original gas lamps and 😖😢😞 and tossed them somewhere.....however, the first electric chandeliers, while not everyone's "cup of tea" remain! It has been an adventure of a lifetime and besides our beautiful children,
my greatest gift to be allowed to bring life back to a forgotten old home!

Thanks for the tips and direction! Keep following your heart with all your beloved projects!

HELP - contractor totalled quote incorrectly, now says owe +10,000
Q

@Cruca : Thank you for responding We both signed the original AND a mid-renovations updated contract, and both totalled 40.000. However, at the very end, he recognised an error on the final total, and explained that if I add up all the individual items, it totals 50.000. I understand, but he knew my budget was 40.000, and now because the work is finished, I can't even remove or reduce any of the work. It just seems unfair, because everyone could say that all the time. I trusted my builder, and as it was a printed document, I assumed all his calculations were correct!

The two examples of bathrooms presented to us, especially the first, have a superlative personality. The flooring of marbles in the back of the sink and the tiled shower are masterful and achieve a very unusual effect, for tremendously original.
