Chop and Change

Luckily a few catalogers and e-merchants have been very helpful throughout this four-year odyssey. For example, we were looking for some light fixtures. We’d made some unsuccessful trips to specialty stores before visiting one of my favorite Web sites, www.catalogcity.com. We clicked on “home,” then “lighting,” and discovered Bellacor, which offers a terrific selection of fixtures. We were hunting for two wall sconces: the two-bulb type, antique brass, glass shades, no more than 20 inches wide. Bingo, we found them. And we ordered some track lights for the new kitchen while we were there. Even better: Shipping was free! Love that.
