Designs by BSB on Nov 12, 2012A vintage bulb is about all that you could do, but honestly? They can cost more than replacing the whole fixture!Helpful Reply

KMS Woodworks on Nov 13, 2012I agree with BeckySue....I have replaced a lot of these over the years...you will most likley need to do some minor wall repairs and painting but that is worth it in my book.Helpful Reply

Betty Mckinney on Jul 19, 2014It depends on what look you would like. The mason jar lighting may work for some. I have a long wroth iron basket. It worked great for a pot hanger. That would make a great shade for a light fixture. Gutter lighting maybe . I am sure you will come up with something.Helpful Reply

StilGlyn on Jan 22, 2016I purchased a top to a fireplace mantle, removed the upper and lower horizontal pieces of wood and placed it on the wall hiding the entire thing. I used brighter clearer bulbs and the lighting was great.Helpful Reply

Yvonne on Aug 11, 2016I have no way for photo but I made a shade for $1 .99 the same thing Etsy advertises for "beginning at $54". Go to hHpme Depot and buy a roof rain gutter. They are the correct length and the holes are right for letting light through. Slightly bend idHelpful Reply

Yvonne on Aug 11, 2016.bend it into a curve and tuck each end into a slotted vertical piece of cardboard glued to wall. Voila! Instant shade.....black or white, you can spray paint it to suit your decor color.Helpful Reply

DONNA on Nov 14, 2016I had one of these lights on top of the medicine cabinet. What I did was: had a handyman remove the old light and put up a new board that I had painted white to match the medicine cabinet and he drilled a hole into the board to attach a new light fixture. Looks more stylish and as if it had been there from the beginning.Helpful Reply
