THESE LIGHT UP MY LIFE

Good morning everyone !

We still haven't put our chandeliers up yet and I can't until the ceilings are redone downstairs to do it!

I took them from our last home where they belonged - I'm afraid they're not going to look " right " in this cottage-y house - which is a moot discussion since they were expensive and they're going up, regardless.

But I'm really loving these lights and the natural element they'd bring to a room !

I'm thinking a trip to the ocean may be in order this summer................because now a DIY light is dangling in front of me ( literally )

What do you think?

Have a great one everybody !
Love,
Me

Kitchen lights

John says - A couple of German helmets just arrived from Amazon.........................




Kitchen Island, Lighting, Black


John accidently shattered one of the ones we already had in the kitchen with a plank of wood 

Suzan says - Well if you hadn't broken one of the Kitchen lights I wouldn't have had to order a different set !
John says - Couldn't you have just replaced the one I broke ?
Suzan says - Nope - I don't want to be changing them every 6 months................these are indestructible.
John says - That's why they wore them in wars.

This is what we had 
But to be honest with you - being glass - and being in a small kitchen - they constantly had to be cleaned.


I feel like I have to keep letting everyone know that the word MANGE is EAT in French - not MANGE as in the disease LOL !!!
If any of you decide to visit Montreal - you'll think all the restaurants have a warning on their windows of an outbreak of MANGE LMHO !!!

Now I have to wait patiently for my Son to come and install the helmets

( War is hell on the home front too - and God only knows what a woman goes through..................)

And that song ?
When my Son was 6 years old he was obsessed with it - used to go to bed with a tape recorder listening to it - and if that's not aging myself I don't know what is !!!
THAT'S how we used to listen to personalized music LOL - long before the ipod was invented.

If anyone's interested, the lights were 39.99 each - so even if this whole vintage industrial thing is a trend - at least they don't cost an arm and a leg...................

What you can't see in the site's pictures is that they're " distressed " along the edges - revealing a little bronze color



that goes nicely with this newest project I'm working on !


Have a wonderful day all 
Much love,
Me
