How To Make A Bare Edison Bulb Chandelier
$130
Medium
I made a bare Edison bulb chandelier out of a $4.99 Goodwill ceiling tile. It was pretty easy to do and made all the difference in my kitchen remodel. To see all the instructions to make your own, be sure to check out my blog post.
I love this light. We will be moving this summer and my husband and I are on the fence about leaving this light here. I suspect it will stay. If it does, I will be making another one.

Placement for light bulbs. As this is the main light in my kitchen, I wanted plenty of bulbs.
Final lengths of my varying sockets. My ceilings are only 7.5' tall and this light hangs over my stove area.
Edison Bulbs lit up. These glow very yellow. The reproduction bulbs are more yellow than the others, but they all glow yellow to some degree.
Light in kitchen. We are still working on this kitchen, as you can see by the partially painted ceiling.The light really makes a nice statement..
