Rustic Lighting…

By Joanna Billigmeier | January 24, 2013 |

I wanted some rustic lighting for our boy room, but all the lighting I liked was quite expensive…

So I had to come up with something more affordable…

I found this shade at Ikea for sixteen dollars with the hanging attachment…

I picked up two packages of shims at Home Depot for three dollars each…

I stained one package, and painted the base of my shade. Then I started glueing on my stained shims.

I glued them all the way around, and then glued the unstained ones on top of those.

We hung it in the room, and viola!

A rustic hanging light for $22!

Not too bad, huh? I may do some kind of wire or twine wrap around the top, but I think it works well for now!
