Gothic Fixture...To DIE For...Muhahaha!

Several weeks ago, we installed our first antique light fixture in the upstairs hallway.  Originally gas, this rare Gothic piece with satyr faces is composed of bronze, copper, and brass materials that dates to the last quarter of the 19th century.  What is a satyr, you ask?  Most people mistake these depictions on the light as Devil faces, when in actuality, the satyr is from Greek and Roman mythology that predates Christianity.  In Greek myths, the satyrs are a troop of male companions of Pan and Dionysus.

We bought this unique piece from Carlson Galleries, and I highly recommend them.  Take a look here:   http://www.carlsongalleries.com/

Master Bedroom- Before and After Photos

We had quite a bit of plasterwork to finish in our master bedroom.  After, we primed the existing dark green trim and ceiling, along with the repaired walls, and then finished the walls with a Historic Preservation color, Lyndhurst Jade in satin.  The trim is a satin white for a crisp look.  I am quite pleased with how it turned out.  The green is historic (mid-19th century), but also gives an Earth-friendly feel.  To me, the room exudes a relaxing, yet elegant, vibe. 

The trim needs to have the architectural casings put back.  We will complete the room with baseboards after we move.
