Adios to the Bare Bulb

As you enter The Great Plotnik World Headquarters, Meatball Kitchen and Travel Museum, the first room you see is the Victorian Parlor, and the first thing you notice in the Victorian Parlor is the grand old fireplace, surrounded by a marble, uh, surround doo-dad. The fireplace is certainly the first thing Plotnik and Ducknik saw and it pretty much sold the house in that moment.

What you don't see, until you look up, is that the light fixture in the Victorian Parlor, above the grand old fireplace, is a bare light bulb. It's been that way for the fourteen years since the Plotniks moved in and it has been eating at Ducknik for every bit of that time.



So yesterday Plot and Duck rode over to Sausalito to a store called Nowell's Lighting, where they sell expensive antiques and make beautiful inexpensive reproductions of those expensive antiques.



You bring them the dimensions of your room and they show you ideas and when they bring you the price it's a fraction of what you expected.

So look close. Two weeks from now there should be something nice hanging up there instead of the bare bulb.
