Yep, that's hanging in my foyer right now too! Great idea though--maybe a good reason to replace it.

That's a home run Cultivators.

Way to turn a piece of rubbish into a work of art. It looks a little Japaneesy.

do you still plug it in or use something else? like solar

You could also install those light bulbs that flicker like candles.

Very clever idea..

I have a 3 light bar that I just removed from the bathroo. It has removable glass and brass rings..any thoughts?

Can you post a pic Rhonda, to see if it's salvagable?

nice work, that is a pretty way to re-purpose a light that should be thrown away

wow, huge difference! Great idea!

I agree, great idea.

How clever. I am sure there are still plenty of those around.

this is why I love this site, such wonderful ideas from talented people

Rhonda, is it a traditional bar without globes? You could repurpose it as a centerpiece on a table and add candles in the light sockets. Paint a new finish and maybe embellish it a bit. Be sure to post a photo if you do re-use it.

Nice job! I've seen the same type of thing done with chemical etching and sand blasting which is more dangerious and requires more tools.

great transformation and recycling

Great idea. We throw away so much stuff. Pretty soon we will run out of place to throw away things. When we purchased our old home and decided to build a new one in its place, we looked for a company which would take our home for free. They came with large saw and cut the home like a cake and hauled it away and reassembled it (they sold it for $30,000.00).

Love what you did ~ I adore it when new life is given through thoughtful creativity ~ ! Could use a flickering faux candle that comes with a remote control.

You are welcome ~ ! and waiting to admire your next creative venture ~

I have one of those in a lantern, it looks very cool. Doesn't put out much light but makes a great night light since it doesn't use a lot of electric.
