MICRO-DESIGN

This class our job is to focus on a DIY lamps, I was searching on google and came across the House&Home website, I found a video on the website about how to make these really funky light fixtures that hang from the ceiling. They just used string, and glue, and wrapped the gluey string around a balloon, when it dried they popped the balloon. I love these and I think they are really funky (:



Cute eh? & totally easy to make.
Some string, and some glue, water and a balloon. EASY PEASY.
Using lamps and light fixtures in a space are critical to finishing a room. Unless you have massive windows and light 24/hours a day... then you definitely need a light fixture. Light fixtures can also add an element of detail to a space, I have seen some pretty funky lamps that really become a focal point of a room.

I feel like I should get her this for christmas...
Maybe I could make it. Totally something she would have
in her house. Too great;)



















 


 CANDLE HOLDERS ANYONE?!
YUMMMM. I love candles. One time I bought this lemon mint scented candle at some flea market. And it was the best smelling candle I have smelt in MY life. Totally refreshing. Just too great. I think candles are nice in a house, they are super girly.. I can't see a guy having candles in his "man-cave," But you never know... maybe. Haha.  Candles are nice when your having a bubble bath, so relaxing. Or maybe date night, so scandalous. Totally great for setting a mood. BUT although the actual candle is nice. The candle holder is just as important. They, like a lamp can be a cool focal point or added element in a room:)

  1. Thanks bella! This looks great. My friend Kevin who teaches home ec in Vancouver made one of those light fixtures with his textiles class! He said it was super fun and easy... He's got a giant orange one in his retro/mod apartment and it looks totally fab!
