Cord Decor Lighting!
by

This is my cord decor lighting and I love it! I wanted to create unique lighting for this corner in my house that looked industrial and antique. I think I nailed it!
I first wired three sockets on long cords into my ceiling.
I built a wood box and stained it to match the tables. The box covers the wire housing.
The earliest wiring system in the US was knobs and tubes. I wanted to simulate that and luckily I was able to find ceramic knobs at an electrical parts shops.
My wife loves it!

Bryan's Workshop on Oct 09, 2016I think you're trying to trick me! :) There is a working 1927 Singer in that table! If you're ever in Japan, drop by and we can sew stuff. These lights were fun to make! Thank you very much for your nice and funny comment!

Jackie Knight on Nov 07, 2016Could you do this under kitch cabinets or somehow bring the lighting down under a painting. Can you use glass light covers as well? Thoughts?

Bryan's Workshop on Nov 13, 2016Hello Jackie! The cabinets sound very doable! You can definitely add light covers too, just as long as the weight of them are supported so the wiring doesn't get pulled out. I'm not sure what you mean about bringing the lights under a painting. Will they be on the wall or hanging?
