Cool LIght

I found a cool metal light shade for the Boys new room, but had to come up with a cheaper solution.  Design inspiration below.

I found similar direction from Vintagerevivals. 

I glued pieces of 1x1 spare lumber to make a 11.5" cube.

The hubby helped me staple the end together while the glue dried.  We didn't have clamps that were long enough.  Once the glue was dried, I filled the holes and imperfections, sanded then painted it with black acrylic paint.

 

We had the IKEA pendant light left over from when this was Boo's room.  We have since switched out the boring lightbulb for a cool retro Edison style light bulb: see above with the installed shade images

Other than the light bulb, this project was free.  I used all spare lumber and we already had the pendant.
