Lighting can be pricey, but it doesn’t have to be to make a statement. There are several ways to find deals. In a blogpost earlier this year, I shared some tips on sourcing lights. Check it out here.
For each of my rehabs, I work within a tight budget and have to be creative in making the fixtures look cohesive. I found color and shape tie the fixtures together in many instances.
In this area, there is the entry light, kitchen counter pendants and a chandelier. (This is midway through the renovation.) I linked the lights together with the cylinder shape and a black finish.
This entry light below is from the 1960’s and snatched from a “free” Facebook Marketplace. (Thanks to my sister, Julie) I loved the cylinder shape and the vintage look. I applied black spray paint and love it!
Here it is hung. (Sorry for the bad photo.)
I found two of the three pendant lights at Goodwill (new, unused) for $6 each. I painted both of these black. I purchased the third one on eBay. Notice the cylinder shape!
This chandelier was a purchase from Wayfair. It was reasonably priced, but not a super deal.
This took some planning, but very doable! I really like how it turned out!
