Happy Monday Friends!
Today, I thought I would share with you some of the lights what we installed in our new house! Please excuse the dust, we are still installing trim work, and that is why you see the lovely orange cover on the smoke detectors too. But..this is a house in progress...so you will see picture of a house in progress!
I have had glass insulators in a box for years and years, Mr. Cookie Puzzle has had boxes of them in his work shop forever and a day too. My mom has some glass insulators from the farm she grew up on as well as some from my dad's family farm. BUT, for these lights, I used insulators that I picked up from garage sales, auctions, clean up jobs and just wherever I can find them.
To have them made, Mr. Cookie Puzzle took them to a glass shop, and for $5 a piece, the nice glass place made drilled holes in the tops. Mr. Cookie Puzzle then too them to a dear friend, who is retired, and likes to "tinker" with stuff, and he used copper piping to make the light fixtures.
Each of them is different...each is unique and totally custom...which is exactly what I wanted. While they don't give out a huge amount of light, I am love with them.
I love that he used a combination of sizes, style and color. Some are clear glass, while some are the blue ones. They look wonderful against the wooden ceiling too.
So..that is that...three of the lights in my great room. Taking pictures of lights is hard! As we are winding down, I have lots I want to share, but finding the time to edit pictures is hard, but I will do my best.
Until next time...hugs!
Awesome recycling/up cycling and just creating your own unique decorating statements.(I so could see these in my country kitchen, along with my silverware cabinetry handles!) I also love seeing these used as solar path/walk way lights. Kudo's!

This is the second most generally held planting fantasy: that the shade of sunlight changes drastically among seasons and that this shading shift actuates blooming. Ask yourself this: Ladder LED,

ReplyDeletePoint of sale receipt printers have come down in price in recent years to a point where it is possible to have backup printers to sublimation ink for epson et 2760 available when you need them. Don't let your business suffer while you wait on a service call. Have a backup printer available when you need it.
