  • LIGHTING IS ESSENTIAL TO HOME DECORATING

    8:36 AM PST, 8/13/2010

    Whether decorating a new home, or redecorating the one you have, consider lighting an essential part of the plan. It's more than practical; it can make the difference between wanting to spend time in a room or avoid that same room althogether. Think about how you feel when you walk into a room with stark overhead lighting. Sure it's bright, but the room is not inviting. Consider your favorite rooms, whether in your own home or someone else's, and you'll find that lighting defines the mood. It adds character. Charm. So, what to look for? Find lighting that complements the decor. For example, an elegant decor may suggest a chandelier with prisms that catch the light and sparkle like diamonds. You can add a dimmer switch to adjust the light, depending on what you are using the room for. A whimsical decor may suggest a figural fun table lamp or torchiere. The lamp itself may have bold, bright colors, but because the light is emanating from a different direction than overhead, it's not as harsh. Period lighting is just that.... lighting that defines a certain time period and brings you back to that particular era. Think outside the box. You may not have thought about using sconces to light your room, but sconces are perfect for leading you through a dark hallway, or adding light to a bathroom. The possibilities are endless. Coyote Moon Antiques offers a fine selection of antique and vintage lighting for any room in the house, office or store. So stop by and check us out at: http://store.auctiva.com/coyotemoonantiques, or find us on ebay under CoyoteMoonAntiques. New lighting added every week, so be sure to check back often!
  • COYOTE-ANTIQUES ANNOUNCES NAME CHANGE TO COYOTEMOONANTIQUES

    Coyote-Antiques is now doing business under the name Coyote Moon Antiques, or CoyoteMoonAntiques on ebay.

Still offering the same great selection of oil and kerosene lamps, period chandeliers, light fixtures, and table lamps. We sell lighting from the Empire, Aesthetic, Victorian, Art Nouveau, Arts & Crafts, Art Deco, and Mid Century Modern eras at affordable prices. Same great customer service.

    If you are an Antiques Hound, and by that I mean your house is crammed to the rafters with old treasures, as mine is; you have never attended an auction, yard sale or flea market you didn't like; and you simply can't pass up "a good bargain" even though you A) don't need it, B) don't want it C) can't use it and/or D) don't know quite what it is,  you can either sell off, buy more, or consider attending AA (Antiques Anonymous).  If you are interested in Antiques Anonymous, you might contact your local chapter of Shopaholics Anonymous.... But if you are selling off, I may be interested in buying. If you are interested in buying more, I may be the seller for you. Click the link below and browse through my store. I have an ever changing inventory and I add new items every week.... So if you like what you see, please bookmark my site and come by the store as much as you like... I'll put on a pot of tea for us...
