The '70's called and They Want Their Lights Back

The 70's Called and they want their lights back! 

(LINK REMOVED NLA)

You know everyone loves a good make over

when it comes to hanging light fixtures.

I am no exception-

I like them too.

We've all seen these types made over

to be so casually comfortable

in our homes.

Adding just the right country touch.

I know how we all like a beautiful chandelier

hanging in a quaint little corner someplace cozy of course.

* country living *

I love how this reflects in the mirror.

How about this industrial looking lamp

hanging in the center of this room?

So unexpected isn't it?

* country living *

I have a confession to make.

I just love me some good ol' fashioned,

funky,

VINTAGE even,

Way GROOVY,

SWAG-LAMPS!

Yep!

These are hanging in my living room.

I know you're wondering where my wooden spool coffee table and my concrete block bookshelves are...right?

That picture was taken right after I hung them.

I've tidied up the cords somewhat; I like the chains the way they look

even hung together

the way they are.

They don't really 'go' anywhere else.

So I hung three of them in one corner and

I have another lone swag

(not pictured)

hanging in a different corner.

Together they make an impact!

and I know to some they are gaudy looking;

to me they are like jewels

twinkling in the night.

So I was thinking about a slip cover (don't know what it is called) it looks like a scrunchy sleeve to cover the chains- what do you think? Should I make one of those to cover the chains?

That's it for today.

Thanks for visiting.
