Wall sconces for cottage living room
Comments (11)Les: another charming sconce! I have seen other faux candle sconces as well and like them very much - thanks to the others directing me to various sites. Oceanna: thank you so much for directing me to the Gallery and your file of cottage rooms - how fab is this! When I have more time I will really peruse the thread. I took a peak and loved it - some so beautiful. I will also try the tinypic link and see if that works. I also went to the accessorizing thread (I think you made the suggestion) and found Judith's table decos - how wonderful!

Comments (12)If you are putting cans in the ceiling over the front door DO NOT put them on the same switch as the porch light, sometimes you dont need to be light up like a christmas tree. but rather just have the porch light on for some ambiance when needed If the door is 8 ft, I would put the box about 10 inches out and 8 inches down. If it was my build I would put a stem hung warehouse shade then center a light to the open wall space and hang art or address sign under it. I really good idea for you would be go to home depo pick up a cheap light that is about the right size and hold it up to the door.. for placement...See MoreHeather N
