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.

Awesome!

June 26, 2014 at 6:03 PMDear 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!

September 9, 2014 at 4:52 PMNo 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!
