Kitchen Tools as Lights

These lights remind me of the trouble light-inspired pendants from Anthro that I posted about. But these little guys are made from vintage industrial whisks! Want. (Check out this tutorial, via Remodelista.) Ashley Ann came up with another light inspired by the trouble lights using a wire basket (thanks for the link, Sarah!).

A vintage bundt pan pendant light? Fantastic! I really like it, and not just for the novelty factor. Even if the pan had been created for the sole purpose of being a shade I would like it. The fact that it has been a carrier of cake does make it a little sweeter, though. Easily DIY-able, of course. Get yourself a lamp cord kit, thread it through the center and hang it low so you can see its fluted sides. (Images from Light Locations, via Decor8)
There is a very cheap lamp cord kit at Urban Outfitters, but it’s a swag-style light. You can find the hard-wired pendant kind at your hardware store (or here).

    you’re sure making up for lost time! that new york trip must have inspired you. i am definitely stealing this bundt cake pan shade for my new fantastically gorgeous (and expensive…) heritage kitchen! it’ll go perfectly. and we should make a skype date so you can teach me some quilting techniques.
