Bed Springs to Chandelier Shades...junky details...

Yet another "simple idea"...

A while back a Facebook follower posted a picture of her chandelier on my page and asked if I had any ideas for shades.  I immediately thought of springs...and it's been in my head ever since :)

I decided to try it on my dining room fixture.

I still remember my awesome weeks of VBS as a kid.  I hope these little people feel the same way when they are 40+!!

A Chippy Welcome...

Our light fixure by the front door has always been a dilema...low ceilings mean no fun/fancy light fixture. When I saw this rusty, crusty basket at a local Occasional Sale...I knew just what I would do with it.

A basic light fixture, with S hooks spray painted to match hold the basket just so...

Perfectly crusty...

I found out later that this treaure of a chippy flower basket originally belonged to my friend Lani of Cottage Elements.  Thanks Lani...

This was another idea origially posted on Junk Market Style...and it even earned a "mention" in the "Best of 2009" posts :)

I'll be linking this up over at FJI, Saturday Nite Special...does this count as a "chandelier"???
