Victorian meets Industrial Revolution meets Craftsmen. Oh, and modern. That's my style.
You can see why I fell IN LOVE with these lights:
We only needed two, but for what they are, they are expensive! $99 each! So, I moved on.
Then, I found these on Etsy:
Our plan was to head to Lowe's and get the kits to turn our recessed lights to pendents. My main man is something of a general contractor at our house. He can do a lot, but knows when to call the professionals.
What we discovered were these little gems:
They screw right into your recessed can lights and cover the hole. The hardest part is getting the wires even, if you're doing more than one. We got a little angry at a wire, which is very adult, I know.
Actually, we got ours from Menard's, only because Lowe's didn't have the industrial cage. They also had the Edison light bulbs.
Each kit was $20, cages were $3 and the fancy lightbulbs were $8 each. That's a total of $62 for both. NOT $99 for one at Restoration Hardware. Now, you can tell that mine are not quite as seamless in color, but only if you know what you're looking for! When that light is shining, it's too awesome to care!
Of course I couldn't get a good picture with the light on, but at the very least, you can see the shape is awesome!
What do you think? Are we close?
