Choosing Ceiling Light Fixtures
I need to replace ceiling light fixtures. Would anyone please guide me on how to choose new ones? Our house is very traditional. The current fixtures are brass and glass. I understand that brass is a traditional look, but I'm seeing lots of silver ones and dark brown ones.

Electrical Outlets Stopped Working
For no apparent reason, half of the outlets in my basement no longer power my devices, i.e. TV, Blue ray, surround sound, window fans. Everything worked fine for the last 10 years and through last night.

I wanted a crystal chandelier for my dining room. I searched for something affordable. Not! So I decided to make my own. I found an old rusty candle light fixture at a junk shop. Cleaned it up,and painted it with "gold" rust stopping paint.

Product Review: Mini LED Indoor Plant Light
Here's another bargain I found at the Dollar Tree store. It's a black plastic battery-operated indoor plant light. Size is 6.75 x 1.75 inches. It has a photocell that automatically turns it on in the dark, and off in daylight.
