I really needed a change from my small shelf with the brass unicorn and brass lamp (which embarrassingly is the bottom half of a broken lava lamp, which did not dawn on me until many months after I bought it, DUH!) that had served me well, but was looking weird and tired.
I wanted a nicer way to hang the fixture, something different than just a hook in the ceiling, and this $6 Home Depot 15" iron plant hanger was PERFECT - the lamp hangs out from the wall to throw more light, and is industrial looking and black. The fixture has a cord that just plugged in - no switch (!?), so the Ikea DIMMA gives me an on/off switch and the bonus ability to dim!
I'm happy with how this came out - sleek, useful, and a bit unusual!
Total Cost - $16!
Before
After - Awesome!
That looks great!
ReplyDeleteSo the Dimma does actually function as an on/off switch in addition to dimming? I couldn't tell by the description on the Ikea site. I'm trying to do something similar with a hanging lamp in a reading corner. Great idea to use the plant hanger!
ReplyDeleteHi Cara,
ReplyDeleteYes - it is an on/off switch! It's super handy.
How did you get the big digital on your computer screen?
ReplyDeleteIt's a screen saver called "Fliqlo" I don;t remember the site, but you can google it.
