Are you kidding?
Firstly, your home is way too modern. And second, the bulbs are way too vintage.
I suggest you to find a little more middle ground between your eras and balance the two out.

Start out with one room. See how that works.

Bulbs from the 60's and early 70's, from the "golden era" of bulbs are best.
Before the big four bought all of the smaller manufacturers to steal all their designs.

I also found this site which is about the vintage bulb: http://www.fortilighting.com/index.php/gallery.html
I guess, if vintage bulb is good only for home decoration, or can be used as a good lighting source?

We have two 60W Edison bulbs in our kitchen http://www.homedepot.com/p/Feit-Ele...descent-ST19-Light-Bulb-BP60ST19-RP/202245668 hanging from pendant fixtures and they provide enough light for most all occasions. Two 40W bulbs in the stove hood add more light above the cooking area, if needed.

I love how we're still yet to see a single drum related post.
One of my favourite sayings.......although as it stands, I don't think I've ever used it on this site. Despite this forum providing the perfect vehicle for it on so many moments now, I usually reserve it for our IT staff at work.
And here I was thinking you must have followed Jay out the door. Good to see you still around, H. Always good to hear from the old guard of forum stalwarts. Hope this finds both you and your Edison bulbs in good health.

I tried to follow Jay, but he outran me, and I lost him in the hall. Me, the Edison bulbs, and my 3 ply Luddies, are fine.

I, personally, like the 3 filament bulbs from the late 50's and early 60's. Not the more modern 6, 7 or 8 filament bulbs. For the warmest light I recommend a 3 filament bulb with a tungsten/platinum/tungsten layup. The middle filament of platinum tones down some of the brightness when you first turn on the light and adds a lot of warmth and character to the room.

Cool saying, but what does it mean? There is a hole in your boat?
Its kind of a game to see how long a non-drum topic can stay out of the Off Topic lounge.

Is this the Home and Garden Channel Forum?
You really don't want to use vintage lightbulbs at todays kilowatt/hour prices
May I suggest a vintage looking lamp with modern bulbs.

Vintage is good, but make sure the bulbs are also rare and hard to find.
Something like the Freesia would be a delightful addition to any architectural style:

Good too see both you and your 3 ply Luddies are still fighting fit, H.
Or how long a non-drummer can stay on a drum forum.
As noted by the responses, it's been our absolute pleasure. However,I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind returning the favour?
I'm thinking of buying a pair of these shoes (no, not those ones....these ones), but I tried them on and as it stands I just can't decide if the shoes are too small or if my feet are too big. Any ideas about it?
