And the sconces are in!

So, with a little help from a friend Saturday, the sconces for the theater were finally installed, and they look fantastic!

Here’s a bit of a look at the final product:

These pictures would only work with the flash as backfill, so there is a bit of reflection on the shades that washes out the colors of the way the bulbs look through the shades. But you can get a good idea in a couple of the pictures, and looking at the color on the walls behind the lights.

And, this phase is basically done..

So, we’re basically done with the changes and move in. There are still a few small things to do, but the list is SHORT comparatively speaking..  It isn’t much more than:

  • Install Sconces in the Theater (They should arrive today)
  • Build/Install Soffit to cover the hole in the ceiling in the theater (Likely to wait a while, to ensure that we don’t need more wires)
  • Hang pictures/art etc…
  • Add a few more pieces of furniture to various locations around the house over the next year or so.

So, here’s what it looked like Saturday morning:
