9 In innovative idea/ lighting

Like a bird(cage) on a wire.

You know how I love an easy project.  One that doesn’t require a huge time commitment, or even both hands.  Something like this sweet little birdcage turned pendant light project by Lindsay at Another Mormon Mommy Blog. To be fair, I’m sure it requires using both hands at some point.  Unless you are lying on the couch, directing someone else.  (I’ve always thought DIY was more of a command than a statement.  Go do it yourself!)

But why not!  You can totally do this yourself. Look how great it looks with the antique style bulbs.  Do you think our current light bulbs will be cute and nostalgic someday?  Hmmm, maybe.  But probably not.  But maybe.

    I love this…and I am madly in love with these Edison lights! I put them in my exterior lights last year…wasn’t sure how they would hold up to the weather but they made it through a super cold winter so I guess they are good!!!!
    Awesome!

    I love the light fixtures. But even more, I love that you’re quoting Leonard Cohen 🙂

    Dear any Aussies who may think this is cute and attempt same. It is illegal to wire in your own overhead lights. MUST have qualified electrician and you would only use 60 watt (old rating) globes. However I LOVE these and will be paying my local sparky a bonus if he can do this today. Tweet!

    No worries, Maria from Oz. I’m the owner of the lights and we didn’t re-wire anything. They actually plug into existing track lighting. Easy peasy!
