For many years this beautiful old lamp (now wired for electricity) hung in our library in Eureka, California, where an east facing window reproduced the same results.
This lamp was one of the many treasures we carefully packed for our relocation to Hawaii. It has taken a while to determine just where it should go in our Hawaiian hale, but its time has come. We have asked our contractor to install electrical wiring in our beautiful stairwell -- where much of our art will be displayed.
On January 11th I posted a blog about how the light moves through our house, passing from one corner to another at different times of the year. At THIS time of year, as we approach the Spring Equinox, the sun is coming directly through the east windows where it hits prisms hanging in the window -- splashing rainbows through the whole open floor plan of our house.

ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing idea for your stairwell! Aside from invoking memories for Phil and finding a use for it now that you're in Hawaii, this will also transform your stairwell into a wonderful rainbow colored room. I hope the people you hired for the job are up to it, because this looks to be an awesome project to do!
