I have a thing for bird cages. I use them as planters in my garden, as decor on the mantle, and now…
as light fixtures. I removed the plain shades from two of my light fixtures and hung up bird cages instead. To get them to stay, I removed the short bolts that held the old cover in place. I replaced them with longer bolts that I inserted between the decorative scrollwork and into the fixture’s holes. Instead of being pinched in place, like the old shade was, this one hangs on the bolts.
I can undo the top of this bird cage to change the light bulb. And now I have a new fetish to obsess over…
Edison bulbs. Oh the loveliness! Get ’em here (affiliate link).
