After I get the nightmare bathroom calcimine paint situation and plaster repairs done, then the kitchen and powder room are next. There is a LOT to contend with in both those rooms. I am thinking the powder room and entry way might be good places for these fixtures, but replacing any lighting is a ways off in the future.
In the interim I picked up three 1940's triple chain fixtures for the bedrooms, for $ 5.00 a piece ! They will replace those terrible "boob lights" from the big box store. One of the boob lights has some new fangled LED bulb thing with prongs. The quality of the light is so muddy and low. Even a 40W bulb from the dollar store shining through a deep pink shade will be a great improvement.

Funny enough, I have the exact same pink shade sitting on my loft floor right now with a bunch of other lights. I bought it as part of a lot of antique lighting that came out of a 1906 house that was being gutted... When I saw your pic, I was like HEY! That looks familiar! lol. Nice
