Newly available online are five of these great vintage industrial enamel Polish factory lights… #industriallight #factorylight #enamellight

These beautiful vintage industrial enamel Polish factory lights were salvaged from a factory. The top of the light is made from aluminium which we have cleaned, each light is a slightly different shade of grey as can be seen in the photos.

It’s a know stereotype that ladies have a much better idea of what goes with what. However, far too often trades look to the man for confirmation when discussing their clients home improvements. I’ve never understood this. Most of the time men don’t notice when their other halves have had a new look, let alone loose any sleep over whether the feature wall accurately matches the cushion covers etc.
