Industrial Cage Light Before & After

Leave it to an Auzzie like Kristine, from The Painted Hive, to turn something brassy into bad-assy! Today’s DIY project is for those of us who have reluctantly inherited old decor and long for something mod and current. After all, it’s just a light fixture which can be updated again quite easily. Additionally, as a budding do-it-herselfer, I’m learning that leftover supplies (like the ones you’ll surely have in this how-to), are actually equity towards future tasks. In fact, it’s quite motivating to have on-hand materials such as extra paint, stains, wood scraps and hardware. I must admit, my work space is making me feel quite the DIY bad-ass myself. Ah, Bob Villa would be so proud.
