Creative use for sentimental light fixture

5 years ago

last modified: 5 years ago

We recently removed this 1970s multi-colored, glass light fixture from a relative's house (strong sentimental reasons - we just couldn't let it go!). The challenge now is that we don't have a location for such a funky ceiling fixture! We are hoping the creative minds at Houzz might have suggestions of other options for a fixture we just couldn't say good bye too!

Oh, I love that!

Are there any rooms in your house you could swag it in the corner — over a chair, nightstand, etc? Any ceiling light you could replace with this one?

I‘m thinking it’s probably way too big to be made into a lamp.

What about outside, on a patio or such? Even if not wired to work, would be a great decorative element. :)
