If you happen to travel to Apt, Provence this summer, we recommend Falbala's lighting store that specializes in refurbishing old light fixtures in a creative combination of old and new. Shown are two lamps from the store: a new creation (left) and an antique oil lamp with new plastic shade (right). More of Falbala's designs, including photos of her materials, below the jump...

Falbala's website has more photos and explains her process, though it's in French. If you can't make it in person to Apt, Provence, Falbala will also ship to the U.S.

If only the Euro weren't so high against the U.S. dollar!
