drum light

See. I'm not always historically accurate.
New Ikea hallway light upstairs. I added brown ribbon trim to it to make this $30 light look like a $300 light I'd seen online.
This is the same hallway I was fixing the contractor's work so while I was at it I decided to move the light from it's original location about a foot away and more centered. When I took down the light that was there, the old gas pipe and (cut) knob and tube wiring was still there (the house originally had all gas/electric combination light fixtures). So I broke my own rules of maintaining originality by moving it. I OK with it mostly because I can't figure out why they hung the original light so off-center and so far down to one end of the hallway.
