20 DIY Lighting Ideas

In a lighting funk? I know I have been lately. In an effort to spice things up at home, (in lighting ladies, just in the lighting) I've kept my eye out for some unique light fixtures and have been inspired. I feelin the DIY Pendants. Take a look and maybe you’ll have a light bulb moment too.

Normally I don't post things in any particular order, but today, I had to share this one first. Kristin at The Hunted Interior made this pendant out of a thrifted bowl. I have been searching for the perfect bowl ever since. I absolutely love it and want one of my own. She is very talented and her work is amazing.

This just goes to show that you can make a unique fixture out of ANYTHING! A globe, bowl, mason jars, flashlights, string and even paper clips. That's right, the fixtures in #4 are made out of paper clips and look amazing! You may have even noticed that some of these projects are from repeat offenders like Mandy from Vintage Revivals. She has many many more DIY lighting options. I hope you’ve been inspired. I can’t wait to see what I decide on.

Good Deal

In light of recent events moving into the house and all, I have been going crazy wanting to add personal touches everywhere. One place that I was able to personalize a bit was my Master Closet. I added a chic light fixture that I found at Lowes. 

The best part? 

The sticker price is $99. I paid half! "On sale?" you ask. Not really. It was an extra display light that they didn't have room for and didn't have a sticker. So the department head told me I could have it for half! WHOO HOO!! Yes Please! 

I already has this light from Ikea, but it hung too low. 

It was a Housewarming gift from my Brother and Grandparents and I couldn't just return it without getting something just as pleasing. Hence the new light. I love this one so much more. I'll post pictures of the actual closet when I finish it, so these stock photos will have to do for now.
