Don't try this at home unless you are totally comfortable with electrocution, sandpaper hands, and browsing Home Depot for hours searching for a "metal plate thingy that has holes in it"
I ran the wires through and then screwed the plate on with a washer.
Ok I'll just get to it. A couple of you lovers have emailed me about my lighting above my sink. I made it myself from a table lamp purchased for 45 bucks!
Well here is what it looked like before.....
I took the base off to expose the wires...This particular task lamp had a huge bulky base so I went to Home Depot and bought a slimmer ceiling canopy plate. I then had to search for a sconce plate which was not an easy task....I ended up making one myself....Not photographed
I ran the wires through and then screwed the plate on with a washer.
Basically a bunch of tinkering and messing around with wires I created this...
I was so inspired by this idea that I was a repeat offender and did the same thing in my office.
Before
After
* ignore the cork board...there is still no trim or cord cover on the light. Oh... and definitely ignore the wall color*
