DIY Button Pendant Light

Just when I had a small lampshade in the big bag headed for the trash, I saw this project.

Look at what you can do with buttons and a lampshade frame!  Of course you have to learn how to wire a lamp if you want to use it as a lamp, but I was also thinking it would make great bones for very fancy windchimes.

Whatever project you have in mind for this creative inspiration, it is an ingenious use of an old lampshade frame!

Repurposing inspiration!

Today I was in the mood for repurposing inspiration!

As The Captain and I go through boxes of my old stuff in an attempt to reorganize and redecorate our house in a way that reflects both of our personalities, a trip to a few DIY/crafty linky parties was in order.  

What I found were more than a handful of ideas for items that are just sitting around boxes and the storage room just waiting to be turned into something fabulous.  I can't wait to start putting plans together and into action!

Here are just a few of the projects that caught my eye . . .

Tamara of Etcetorize has cleverly repurposed a candle holder to organize and display her jewelry treasures.

I am inspired by the way she has put everything together! As a buyer/seller of vintage costume jewelry, my personal stash of treasures is massive and inneed of organization.  Since I love being surrounded by my "stuff", I also
want it displayed in a unique and funky style.  I found it!
Thank you Tamara . . . I love your style!!
