Since we renovated our kitchen we have wanted to update the lighting. When we first moved into our house we did remove the old 90's style canister track light and replaced it with a brushed nickel and glass light. It served us fine but we wanted something more unique. Originally, we were planning to make a light out of ball mason jars, yet when we came across this item at a local junk store it screamed "make me into a light fixture". It is an antique yarn winder, I'm guessing industrial because to be honest I haven't found anything that looks close to it on the internet. It might not even be a yarn winder, that is just what the dealer thought. The best part, it was only $25.
My husband was able to remove the iron rod that went through each of the winders to add the wiring, light socket and bulb. He has become quite handy with these types of projects.
I love how it came out, especially the interesting shadow it casts!
