Outdoor Light Transformation

Ahhh, the magic of spray paint! A can of Oil Rubbed Bronze saved these brass outdoor lights from the landfill. And now I love something I didn't think was lovable.

trunks, tractor seats and a few bolts. It's a really simple design but I think they look great! They won't live at my island forever, I plan to use them outside on the patio since its made from outdoor-friendly materials. Plus, it's all recycled! I think it's a great way to use what was headed for landfill and make into something useful and appealing all at the same time.

  • Zip Ties are a renters best friend. You can attach a lot of things because they come in so many sizes.
  • The spaced poles give you something to staple the lights to without damaging the rental propert
  • I painted our posts green so they would blend into the foliage of the yard and create a more finished look.

Renters Solution to Outdoor Lighting

If you are a renter and want to hang some outdoor lights you can do it with no nails or staples in your landlords property.
