Apartment living shouldn't restrict home
or creative interior design improvements.
Author Eric Christopher Webb (E.WEBB?!) of
“The Garvey Protocol: Inspired By True Events”
created this D.I.Y. light fixture project to camouflage a
rather plain, already existing traditional light
rather plain, already existing traditional light
fixture in the living room of his Baltimore loft apartment.
What’s needed: Two wreath frames, wire, (disregard the shelf liner roll pictured),
contact cement, bamboo table runner and four matching bamboo placemats, a can
of metallic silver spray paint, four “S” hooks and four “Eye” Screws. NO TOOLS NECESSARY!
STEP ONE: Create the light fixture frame by attaching the wire to the wreath frames.
STEP TWO: Spray paint the frame; Allow a day to dry.
STEP THREE: Place contact cement along the outside of the frame; Then, wrap bamboo table runner around outside of frame; Use an additional bamboo placement to make up for the gap, if necessary; Allow a day to dry.
STEP FOUR: Place contact cement along the inside of the frame; Then line the frame with the remaining matching bamboo placemats; Allow a day to dry.
STEP FIVE: Screw “Eye” screws into the ceiling around the existing light fixture; Attach each “S” hooks to the corresponding “Eye” screws and then connect the “S” hooks to the top part of the metal (wreath) D.I.Y. light fixture frame.
Estimated Cost: $40 or less.
