DIY/frugal light fixture

Since the moment we looked at our house...I did NOT like this light fixture. I am just not much of a shiny brass fan. But, due to other pressing expenses and priorities...it has existed the first year in our home, despite our dislike of it.


Here is a closer look...FABULOUS, isn't it?



Well, it has now been replaced with this find...50 cents at a garage sale last weekend! Yipee! Maybe not exactly what I would have picked out...but at least close enough to fork over the 50 cents. Much better!!
