Colander Sink Light

Here is a quick post on an idea for a light shade for those of you that like a primitive look. The other day hubs & my dad got a sink light wired so I can see to wash dishes. They did give me a funny look when I said I’ll come up with my own light shade.

 

 

 This is what it looked like when they were finished.

 

I remembered an old rusty colander I had in storage…

 

 

I used white spray paint to give it a coat of paint and cut a hole in the bottom to fit the bulb holder thing in.

 

 

 

I just used the wire itself to hang the colander for now but eventually I want to attach a rod or chain to hide the wire…

 

 

 

 

It’s nothing fancy but for me it beat spending money on a pricey light!

Happy New Year, everyone!
