Lighting for $10 p/light...
Delivered within 24hrs
Earlier this week we (team ikke) decided to take on our first DIY project for 2012.
Our chosen victim....
The existing LIGHTS we took on with our beautiful new shop in Crows Nest.
We always knew we wanted to keep them, but just needed to come up with a bright idea to upcycle them.
Working with a minimal budget. I took a trip to Bunnings and came home with some ideas, samples and costs.
Decision was made!
Let the work begin!
Starting with the two lights in our workshop studio we decided to go with a bright and delightful colour TURQUOISE.
Our electrician (Sash) disconnected the lighting (after turning of the mains of course). She then dismantled them and spayed them with a coat of cream coloured primer. When dry she painted them (using a sponge brush) in our chosen colour TURQUOISE.
Several hours later the lights were dangling from the washing line looking amazingly bright and colourful.
By the next morning they were dry enough to put back together.
We extended the electrical wiring so we could have them hanging 50cm down from the ceiling.
24 hrs later we had them hanging from our ceiling in our now bright and colourful studio.
Looks fantastic! Love the colour. Am a bit excited that you are now in Crows Nest! I've been away for a few weeks but can't wait to visit the new store when we get back!
