We live in a building that's over 100 years old and the electricity is from 1979. One thing we needed is a light in the nursery. The nursery doesn't even have wiring for a light fixture - so we had to improvise. For this nursery, I want to keep the industrial feel of our loft. Two of the four walls are white brick. There's a large, floor-to-ceiling window and old, exposed beams on the ceiling. I got a metal, vintage-looking fan on clearance. We are using gray and army green with accents of red and yellow.
Our own bedroom doesn't have a light so we've got four IKEA "Hemma" lights dangling from the rafters. Working off the same idea, I got a few more of those at $3.99 each and some large Ball mason jars at an antique store for $6 each. A few simple steps and I have this cute vintage light! These were so easy to make and they'll totally fit the theme of the nursery! Here's my first "how-to"....
I love it! This was super easy and super cheap to make. I want to make more! Maybe a chandelier full of them!
awe-some! so creative!
