Ah..Droog...they also make a rubber sink.

If dh's stomach looked like that I might put some of those around the house to encourage shiftlessness! Ha ha ha. Seriously, couldn't imagine them anywhere other than a clothing store.

And they made soft tile. I tracked it down but they don't make it any more. I probably couldn't afford it anyway, even if I liked it.

OK, confession time: we strongly considered Droog's 85 Lamps and the Milk Bottle Lamp (multi-bottles) fixtures when we were renovating. 85 Lamps lost in a narrow decision to another very modern fixture; Milk Bottles is lovely but provides a soft glow, not any real light to speak of.

Different strokes...

Actually I think the light in the shirt hanger is kind of cute, but I'll let this one pass entirely without comment:

Oh, zeebee! I knew I would say the wrong thing when I posted that. We don't see many ultra modern kitchens on here...that white one posted tonight was the most modern I recall seeing posted here. I like it a lot, not for me, but I like it. The light fixture they were twisting around, all molded in one piece, fascinated me. I'm more comfortable with a round oak table and wood cabinets. Like you say, Different strokes. Post some pics?? We'd like to see.

Great eye candy,ooooh, you meant the lights ; )

a shirt by a bulb? probably wouldn't pass code in my community

Pinch_me, you didn't say a wrong thing at all! We have a lot of traditional elements in our old house and decided to have some fun with the lights. I totally understand why it's not for some.

Here are our spaceship lights in the front room - this picture gives them a golden glow but they're actually very white (excuse the lack of furniture, we hadn't fully set up when this was taken):

The manufacturer's site photo is a little better:

Gee, we get milk delivered in glass bottles every week. I could order some in quarts, keep 3 of the bottles (they'll automatically charge us for them on our bill), and then convert them into pendants for over my sink cabinets. Might be kind of kitchy. Ours are clear class with Longmont Dairy and their symbol in blue. They certainly would be inexpensive fixtures. :)

zeebee, they look "right" in your house. Who woulda thot??

I bought a floor lamp at a yard sale last summer. It's 9 metal tubes each topped with a peachy pink lily type flower that holds a small light bulb. I used a dollar's worth of spray paint on it and the 9 new bulbs. I guess I've got almost $3 invested not counting my time.

flwrs_n_co, I've seen light fixtures made out of mason jars and old glass insulators. Why not milk bottles. HOWEVER, if your milk bottles have the logo on them, you would be better off putting them away for 50 years and then selling them in mint condition. I've been "shopping" for old stuff to decorate my kitchen. Everything we threw away when our parents died is now worth a pile of money. I could be retired. Guess how much an old tablecloth sells for. And yes, I bought some. I even bought some really old magazines and I would love to buy more but it adds up so quickly! Back to reading them on google books for free.

some very cool lights but I'm stuck on milk delivery. You mean you can still get milk delivered to your door step in glass bottles? I am waaaaaayyyyy too suburban. I truly didn't know that existed anymore. What a beautiful thing!

There is a custom order lamp in a gallery here that is a granny cart filled with milk bottles that has lighbulbs buried in it as well.
