So, I recently used PVC pipe on a few projects and I have become obsessed. I have been finding the most random uses for it, that is where this next project comes in...
I needed:
 |
| $4.99 Ikea Cord ( I needed 3 in addition to what I had at home) |
| Leftover PVC Pipe, and Joints |
 | ||||
| $1.00 Vases x 7 |
 |
| Glass Drill Bit |
 |
| $7 Spray Paint |
 |
| Leftover Wood |
For a grand total of $29.00 Spent...
I have a freaking fantastic stairwell light fixture!
In fact it made it so much brighter that I painted the accent wall a darker color, and I LOVE it.
Sorry there is NO WAY I am going to be able to make a tutorial for this project. They are all custom lengths, and heights.
But the same basic principle can be applied to your own homes. It's a lot of math, ladders propped in odd positions, near death experiences, and trial and error. But it CAN be done!
That being said, I don't think I have EVER spent this long on one project EVER! It took weeks of prep work and a few days to install... (Keep in mind the ceiling is nearly 17' at some places.) It was a lot of work, but it paid off!
Thanks for stopping by!

Are the lights hard wired into the ceiling somehow?
ReplyDeleteYes, there was originally one recessed light directly above the landing. I removed that light and used that source to connect all the pendants.
ReplyDeleteOn the ikea cords I cut off the actual plug, and just hardwired those cords.
