Where do I buy glass light shades?
Best ReBuilding Center Trip EVER! Although I have to admit, I bought these items about two weeks ago. So yesterday’s post might make a little more sense now – those single pendant/transformer dealios are that much better of a deal now!
A local lighting company went out of business. (Which makes me sad and I hope to learn more details later) but they donated 6 Palettes of their lighting product to the ReBuilding Center. Amazingly – I happen to need a lot of lighting! So I made a big leap and pretty much bought everything I loved. I spent a lot – but to find shades in this high of quality at a surplus store is pretty great.
These are the three types I decided on.
So I think that I will hang these as individual pendants in the apartment.
and I was able to snag 5 of these Beauty’s for the upstairs kitchen track lighting
Brand new – in the box with all the pieces.
I got each of these for $35. I paid $175 total for all 5. Given the situation I’m in for the lighting situation in the kitchen these are amazingly perfect for what I need. They match the wall color and they are the perfect size. After bringing these home – I realized I probably could have gotten them online for close to the same price, I am much happier having supported the ReBuilding Center and not creating demand for the creation of new product.
And look at the retail price on these! OMG. These were $653 in the store. I paid $150. I know that’s a lot for just the shades, but they are so neat! I’m allowed a splurge once in awhile…. right?
