Hey everybody. Just popping back here to share some lighting updates since the original post photos were taken. First we were fortunate to secure one of RockNRoll Woody's often imitated Double Drums. I was happy to wait for this one. Woody is busy as hell for a reason. Next we got 2 of MadEyes Forbidden Reef's Rum Bottle Floats. Mary Beth makes the best floats period. People don't talk enough about lampmakers that make small lamps that you can tuck into little corners to add dimension. These are perfect for that. I wish more makers made small lamps. CommodoreNCo and Mary Beth are really cornering the market. Next one was a Holy Grail score. We were blessed by the antique gods and found a PAIR of these pristine 1960s Pele's Hut lamps made by Orchids of Hawaii for the Sea & Jungle Shop in LA. I still have an extra one of these lamps that I need to figure out what to do with. ALSO...This lamp took the place of an original Oceanic Arts Tahitian Shade. You can see it in the original post pics above. I don't have room for the Tahitian Shade currently and if anyone has an Oceanic Arts Kooboo Cane Shade with the Tapa and wants to trade, please reach out to me. And just for a bonus, I don't have it hung yet because I'm currently reproducing the bottom cover for it, but I was able to secure an Orchids of Hawaii Shell lamp from the 70s in a trade last week. It's heavy as hell but we will make it work.
