This Ceiling fixture gives off wonderful contrasts of light. The optical illusion of floating frames and handmade texture make this fixture both intriguing and beautiful.
This simple single bulb light with a Bakelite socket reminds me of simpler times before we had several thousand watts of light in every room. Turn this light on, sit by the radio with a cup of tea and enjoy it’s warmth before bed.
Hand forged chain take this simple light to a new level.

Our house in North Oakland was built in 1925 just one year after this film. It’s nice to see the houses from then, all brand new, no trees and plenty of power lines. It would be fun to find that house today and do a before and after shot. Let me know if anyone reconizes the street. I can imagine my daughter Zolie in the last shot!

My wife pointed out that the address is right in the title of the movie……duh
Here’s a Google map showing the exact house in street view!

I made ceiling light fixtures, fire tools, cook grills and wall sconces for Alison and Russel several months ago and I got a chance to see some of it installed today.
Their new place is on the upper stretch of Grand Avenue in Oakland, Chez Panisse Cafe veteran chef and produce buyer Russell Moore has taken over the former Country Home Furniture store to open Camino (3917 Grand Ave.) which should open in the next few weeks. Camino’s cooking will be all about the fireplace — a huge, waist-high stone one that Moore plans to use for rustic dishes like lamb a la ficelle, baked fish and lots of stuff cooked in cazuelas, with pots of beans bubbling in the coals. It feels alot like the Basque boarding house eatery’s I grew up in with the long family style tables and open hearth kitchen. Allison Hopelain, Moore’s partner in life and Camino, will be general manager. In addition to her own small gardening business, Hopelain has worked at Quince, Bar Tartine and Zuni.
