Lighting Fixtures, make it fit your style without spending more then $10

Being a wife on a budget is not necessary a bad thing. I believe that people who have less, sometimes use their imagination to the fullest. Today, I will share a convenient and hopefully helpful tip on how to update old and unattractive lighting fixtures: 



1. Originally, the fixture had these yellowy/beige color globes which are not bad looking, but in our house they looked absolutely out of style. The problem was the color: with our grey walls and snow white trim, beige globes had to go. 


2. After taking off beige globes, I found very traditional  fluorescent light bulbs underneath which also had to go. I used the most simple mason jars that I had left from my wedding, they became the new globes.


3. The three products that I used; 6 Mason jars, 6 Incandescent (small) light bulbs, and 6 pieces of pvc pipes from Lowes that were spray-painted matte black.


4. Finished Look: with Lights on:


5. Finished Look with Lights off:
