One of my favorite blogs to check out is Parlour, run by Nichole. Nichole is always up to something in the DIY department. She makes all kinds of funky furniture, including lighting! I found her most recent project quite amazing.... a pendant light made with over 1000 COFFEE filters. I admit, I've seen this before online but not to this scale, this one is HUGE! I definitely know what she went through.... because the pendant I made, took a lot of FOCUS and patience!!
But..at the end of the day, it makes your home even more special because you made it.
Many of you may recognize a similar pendant hanging over a bed on the cover of Sixx Design's 'Downtown Chic' book right? Well, that pendant sells for lots of money. I admire that Nichole made one for her own home. I don't see that as copying since she is only using it in her home...I'm all for this!

Wow, thanks so much for the feature. I'm so very grateful. I can't wait to see what you will be up to in your new place too! I'm sure it will be fantastic!
I have seen versions of this DIY light on various blogs, and have been dying to try it! I need a cute hanging lamp for my new apartment bedroom now that I finally started the process of decorating....

Wow, now that took patience. Good for her, it looks beautiful in her space.
is great as viewing a photo. and then the next (first two photos), and I stop to think how magnificently it is the same room, and although the wall is dark, the light you have is amazing.
I liked it!
