What to do with all those ceiling light bulbs..... they are so unsightly! Here is a great solution.I have just finished painting my pantry! What a huge job. Carson my husband has used our pantry, kitchen and brick oven for his organic wood-fired pizza crust business over the past 14 years. Flour + Water = Glue..... What a mess it was after all those years. It took forever just prepping the pantry for painting. I think it looks really cute. I should have taken a before picture..... imagine lots of fly shit, cobwebs, flour moth trails.... you get the idea. It was yucky.
Carson took is on a 6-8 week retreat skiing in Taos... the lucky bum... it's well deserved and long overdue. So, it gave me a chance to rip the place apart and dig in. You have no idea how much stuff I had in there; what a nasty job and so many nooks and crannies. Bit by bit, Carson's business started to take over the space, note the big hobart mixer-still not sure how to paint around the beast.
All my days off were dedicated to painting.... otherwise it might be years till this job got done. Hey ladies, are you in the group that'll pick up a paint brush or hire it out.... I have friends in both catagories and good for you in the later group. But it does give a sense of satisfaction despite the turquoise hair and green finger nails...
Ceiling drum shade with clip adapter added and one of my push pin finials. Shade size is:10" across the top x 10" across the bottom and only 6" high.
note: shades don't match... on purpose. One is a vintage French fabric from "Loody Lady" ebay name and the other is a Heather Bailey cotton print. I did not use a difuser on the bottom of the shade, I need all the light I can get in the dark pantry.
