If you don't want to paint it or replace the globes/shades, go to Habitat for Humanity Restore or other thrift stores. Keep going back - you will find lots of lighting fixtures that you can use.

Shoshana · Answer

You can add different light fixtures to update the look. New lightbulbs like these will make all the difference as well.

Connie · Answer

Exactly what I was thinking, to spray paint metallic and use Edison bulbs.

John Biermacher · Answer

Janet Pizaro's link shows a ton of ideas and Shoshana and Rpepplesjr are on target also. The only thing I want to add is possible use of adjustable socket adapters that allow you to change the angle of the build.

I did a friends house with pallet wood flat on the wall to frame the light after we painted the metal a light grey and dry brushed it with a medium dark brown. Vinegar soaked iron nails made a good evening stain for the cut ends....

I had these outdated lights in my bathroom, took them down and bought two new lights at home depot. It's an easy fix, there is only one hole behind these lights. I had two sets of these to replace. Good Luck!
