He gave me this lamp that his uncle made for his mom back in the late forties early 50s. I had to get it down from the place it’s hung since new, along with the dust lol i had to reglue several pieces back in by the time I got it home and rewire it for safety. It now hangs in my castle room and reminds me of dragon scales lol and collecting a new layer of dust.

We built the shelves to go in between the kitchen cabinets over the sink, because my clown babies deserved a place of prominence in all their friggin glory.
The chandelier was thrifted in plain white and made rainbow with alcohol inks to be the crowning jewel of the clown army.
