Is your home full of these awful boob looking lights?! I have a ton of them throughout my house, and I hate them! So ugly! I decided to try and change one out by myself and add something more stylish. Well, stylish but cheap! Here’s how I did it for less than $15!
Ugh, no joke I have like 10 of these in my house.
I have been working really hard on my laundry room! It all started with painting the tile.
I wanted one of those boho basket looking lights like this, but I didn’t want to pay for it. I figured out a way to make my own for much less.
I bought this inexpensive pendant light. I found an inexpensive one here for less than $10!
I found a cool looking basket for $2.99 at Goodwill! I found similar ones here and here.
I then painted the wire part of the light, this matte white. This paint is technically a primer, but I like the matte finish, and it goes on extremely well! It is my all time FAVORITE primer, and I use the spray and canned paint.
I had to be patient and spray paint it layer by layer, while waiting in-between coats.
Once it was dry, I was able to put it all together:
I traced the inside circle where the bulb goes, so that I didn’t cut too big of a circle in the basket.
I used my small saw to cut a tiny piece of metal that was in the middle of the basket. Then I used scissors to cut the circle that I traced.
I then put the pendant into the basket, and screwed it in with the light bulb. It stayed!
Yay! It fits!
There was any ugly boob/dome light up there before, so I took it down. (don’t forget to turn your electrical off!) *Side note, I’m not an electrician, so take this part of the tutorial with a grain of salt. Everyone’s house/electrical is different. Hire a professional if you’re not sure!
I then rewired the pendant light.
Viola! It’s done!
Isn’t that a great boho touch?! I love the texture that it adds!
Before and after!
Can you believe how simple that is?! Two items for less than $15, and just a little bit of creativity! Hope you like it! Will you make one for yourself? Do you have those ugly boob lights too?! Let me know, I love hearing about it! Love you all!
