I decided to move the light fixture I had in my pantry to over my little Coffee Corner, hence, I needed a new light fixture for my pantry. I bought this Pioneer Woman Large Colander for $10 at Walmart. Then I went to Lowe’s and bought this ceramic light socket kit for about $8.
Then I drilled a hole in the center with a universal drill bit.
Added the light socket kit. Ok, technically my electrician added the light socket! Thank, Hep!
Then spray painted the chrome rims on the colander with Rust-Oleum Metallic Antique Brass. The knobs I added to the cabinets are antique brass and I didn’t like the shiny chrome. I also spray painted the chain (which I already had) and the ceiling plate (forgot to take a pic). The ceiling plate kit and pieces cost about another $15.
Ta daa!
Love it! So cute for a pantry light and only cost about $35!
I finished my chalkboard with my Spring/Summer 2017 To Do List! I listed refresh the garden beds but forgot to list “plant the garden beds” lol. I bought some “Bistro Chalkboard Markers” at Joanne’s. I love the “bullet” tips and these fluorescent colors are so fun! There are a ton more things I hope to get done this summer that I didn’t get on the list. We’ll see how everything goes. Happy Friday!
I’ve been wanting a chalkboard to put my “to do” lists on so that I have it right in front of my face. I bought the chalkboard at Hobby Lobby it was just $7.50 (50% off ). Then my grand plan was to put it in a picture frame because I wanted it more “chunky”. Well the chalkboard is 23″x35″ and picture frames are 24″x36″ so the chalkboard was to small to attach to a frame. I went to Home Depot and bought some 1/2″ quarter round trim for about $7 (16 ft.).
Mia and I were here at work when Pastor Kim came into the office. He was marrying a young couple who needed a couple witnesses. Wow, I’ve never been an official witness before, you know – signing the marriage certificate and all! Was so sweet – we were all crying, lol. Congrats to Tim & Brittany.
