New Outdoor Light
Since I seem to have at least a small group of people who follow Coming Unmoored to hear about the updates on my house, I figured I’d share with you the outdoor light I finally settled on to hang over my front door.
It’s probably a difficult to picture yet, but I eventually want my little place to have the feel of a rather eccentric English cottage. I’m hoping this choice of light fixture will help set the mood a bit. In selecting a light for outside, I had the additional challenge that there’s not a lot of clearance where the light needs to hang. That reduced my options of lighting substantially.
It’s not in-your-face noticeable, but I’m hoping the slightly erratic shape and frosted glass will help convey a degree of quirkiness. The eventual look I’m aiming for could probably be described as “Brothers Grimm on Water”. (Somehow that sounds like an Icecapades show gone terribly wrong, but it’s the best I can come up with.)

I love it! I can’t wait to see it in situ.
How adorable! I think it looks great.
