Closet lighting

walkitoutR. has been quite adamant about wanting to put a wired light into the closet in the new attic room. I was like, but battery lights are so awesome now. Nope.
So then I said, hey, let’s do the modern forms catalonia, since I’ve put that fucker in several key places at the new house because previous choices failed and I have some real concerns about that light. I kinda want to get my hands on it and make sure I really like it. He’s like, no, has to be a wall sconce.
But he’s drunk and went to bed early, so I dug around on lighting websites As One Does (or at least, as I have spent entirely too much time doing), and learned that yes, you can indeed install that one on a wall. So I figured out how to order one, and paid attention and used the 10% off coupon (on top of the 20% discount), which brought it down to a moderately more plausible price. We will now have closet lighting in that room that is way nicer than most other rooms in the house. Pretty much like the entire room, in other words.
I’m trying to decide if I’m going to leave that one when we sell the house, or bring it with us, and I think the answer will depend entirely on how I feel about it once I’ve seen it in person for a while. I did get it in the brass, rather than the nickel, even tho nickel would probably work better in that room, so it’s pretty clear which way I’m leaning.
