How much fun can you have with 50¢ ???
Well, let me tell you, I really like this vintage porch light fixture that cost me FIFTY-Cents.
I will show you the fun ways I can put it to use.
Also, it was the quickest and easiest repurpose that I have ever made.
I unscrewed four nuts and removed the brass electrical part.
That was it ... easy peasy.
This left a
void there, but because it is a great opening to have to place objects inside for a
vignette or air for a plant, I will leave it like that for the time being. I just cleaned some paint of the brass and
am just enjoying the aged look with the beveled glass.
I can display a beautiful figurine and show off some vintage jewelry.
Use as a terrarium for a small plant.

I placed two white vintage frames, a white grapevine wreath and a few birds in the background.
I used a vintage wooden riser that I stained with watered-down green paint and added the pretty hummingbird and flower stencil.
This time, I got it right the first time.
Little birds seem to be thinking ... "perfect place to build a nest".
I am ready for Spring ... so thinking an Easter vignette would look great.
What neat cheap thing have you found recently and been able to quickly put it to use?
Blessings.

What a cool repurpose! See? You didn't see the vision for old cigar boxes and I never would have seen the vision you had for this... a cloche! Genius! :) Thanks for the comment on my altered cigar boxes!

I love it, Audrey! It works as a terrarium and/or cloche perfectly! Such a great find ~ I'll have to look at fixtures like this differently when I see them.

Audrey you are so very creative. I LOVE this idea, it is awesome. Thanks for sharing with my newbie party.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cleaver re-purpose of the light fixture, Audrey! Very smart!

ReplyDeleteGreat repurpose of an old porch light. You will find many uses for it. I like the Easter vignette.
ReplyDeleteAudrey, that was such a clever and creative use of that light fixture. I had a similar one and kept trying to think of something to do with it but I finally got rid of it not being able to come up with a good idea. Wish I had thought of this! Thank you very much for sharing at my party. I'm sure you have given others inspiration to think outside the box. Have a great day, Audrey! Hope to see you next week.---------- Shannon
ReplyDeleteI've found nothing as cute as that for 50 cents! What a great find! And I love the way you've utilized it for displays. Vanna
ReplyDeleteGrandma Barb sent me over to visit your blog and I'm very happy she did! What beautiful ideas you have!
ReplyDeleteWarm wishes from Kansas!
Love all of the ways you used your new light fixture cloche. My latest cheap thing was a $3 picture that took me no time at all to fill in the scratches on the frame and hang on the wall.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking I need to plan a trip up there and go thrifting with you.
