This is the BEFORE photo. I know, I know. Try to focus on the fixture. Baby steps my friends. I knew that I wanted to take the bulb covers off. I was hoping to replace them with clear ones, which would've been a good idea, had they not been $6 a piece.
Bathroom Light Fixture Makeover
My master bath is CURRENTLY in desperate need of an update OVERALL, but I decided to START with the light fixture.. This all came about when I joined a room makeover challenge with some of our blogger friends. The challenge? Pick a room in your house and give it a makeover spending NO MORE THAN $100!!!!
I could not spend a third of my budget on just the light fixture, so I headed to the thrift store. I found these lamp shades for .75 each. NOW we're talkin'. I could feel the metal frame inside, and a lightbulb went off in my head! 
Excuse the pun.
Excuse the pun. 
Ladies and gentlemen. Beauty is indeed found within.
After a little cleaning, painting, and finagling this light fixture has a fun industrial farmhouse look. If you like the vintage bulbs you can find them at this affiliate link. They are like icing on the cake

Pam Crenwelgeon Aug 23, 2020My hubby just did a 1/2 renovation on our 2nd bath upstairs ( used to be the kids’ bathroom, but they’re both gone and married now) and we didn’t do anything to the light fixture yet - and I kind of like this idea! Thanks for sharing!

Love this!
very good, turning a regular shade into something very trendy that probalby costs a lot to purchase as such. i personnaly prefer shades to bright lights that remind me cof eiling bulbs before people got bulb covers
I know this is an old post, but I have seen them in dollarama and Canadian Tire. Just to name two in Canada.
