live. love. scrap.: light fixture

Monday, March 28, 2016

For the longest time, we had an old light fixture above the breakfast bar in our kitchen.

Then we even went for awhile with no fixture (not sure what was going on there!).

Finally, my hubby decided to do a project that I'd had in mind for that spot.

He hung a birdcage as our light fixture.

I picked up this wooden birdcage for a dollar or two at a yard sale many years ago.

My hubby drilled a hole in the top if it, then added the light kit and attached it to the ceiling.

To finish it off, he added an Edison light bulb.

I'm loving how it turned out!!!

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

For the Lord is the great God,

and the great King above all gods.

Last year, my neighbor had an old attic turbine sitting outside her garage.

I asked if I could have it because I thought it would make

the most awesome light fixture.

And holy cow! It sure did!

After sitting at my neighbor's for sometime, it sat at my house waiting to be hung.

Then one day, my hubby made it work.

And I totally love it!

It allows light to come through, although not enough to be a main light fixture in a room.

But it's perfect for a front entry, and it casts a cool shadow on the walls.

If you're wondering what is on the right side of the hallway, it's an old door with clipboards displaying photos. You can go here to see it.

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

Sing out the honor of His name;

make His praise glorious.

Psalm 66:2
