This "bathroom" shelf was made from an old headboard. Notice the glass shelf? I photographed this wonderful shelf at used furniture of Canton, CT.

Craig~ That's good to know for future projects; I will keep that in mind. I already know of a piece that I will need hardware for. Just need to get to that project first. Rita @ TesoroFino.com

Rita,
the scary thing is what you see on the web site is the good 1/3 of the original and reproduction hardware we have in the store, and their is much more available all the time,

in example, glass furniture knobs, I think I show maybe a 6-10 knobs & handles, we have probly 80 + in different colors & sizes & styles. we have about 1500 different pc of reproduction furniture hardware + all the rest of the stuff, if you do not see it just email a picture, we also do volume discounts on the reproduction hardware

As well as we do look for hardware for people also.

This is great info!! I will be sure to remember about the cords on my next lamp project. What's also great about your website Craig is that you have such wonderful hardware to match so many different projects one starts. Love all the antique and vintage accessories you carry. Everyone be sure to "bookmark" Craig's store. There some great finds there! If you haven't been there yet, be sure to take a look!

And the beads on that lamp shade really finalize the whole lamp! What a lovely job!! Rita @ TesoroFino.com

Vicki,

when we do lamps I usually go original look on a good lamp like the Oralei just got a plastic cord looks so tacky

the cord is item # 4513 and the bakelite plugs are # 4548. the cord comes in both brown and gold

Hi Craig, That is a very nice touch - you putting the old style cord on a vintage lamp. Where did you find an older cord and plug?

Hey Rita, How about another lamp?
just got thru rewiring this one

item #1000029
This is a vintage lamp with a beaded shade. the lamp has 2 pieces of onyx along with some antique gold paint, with a filigree base, been rewired with gold colored cloth cover cord with an old style plug. the lamp is 27" tall, and 10 across the bottom of the shade.
