If you remember, not too long ago I was the receiver of 4 brand new free drum shade lighting fixtures.
I have decided to use one in our bedroom, one in the bathroom and one in the entrance over the stairs.
That left me with an extra one.
I used one in the boy room,
and the other one in the girls room.
Both current lighting fixtures have a fan, and we definitely did not want to get rid of them.
I love fans for two reasons:
They make the room feel a couple of degrees lower (without costing much to operate),
and they make a little white noise for the kids to help them sleep.
This is what I did with the ceiling fan fixture in the girls room.
I attached the shade first,
then used these paper shades
(they were originally from a set of hanging string lights)
and hang them from the holes previously needed to hold the screws for the glass globes.

The girls now have their very own chandelier.
I will show the other drum shades once we change them all out.
Stay Frugal,
Daniela

Such a cute idea hanging the mobile and the paper lanterns on the inside of the shade! I bet your kids love it!
Both are adorable, love how you do your thing with items that don't cost anything!
That is such a fun idea!!
Those are such creative ways to use those drum shade lights. I never would've thought to do that. I bet the kids love them.
Love them! The one with the paper shades is my favorite.
Very ingenious! I love how you added the paper lanterns! I always buy them in the summer for hanging outside on the patio. They create a neat look.

They look so awesome! How sweet are those paper shades hanging down! Wonderful job Dani!
Such a fun transformation!
I love how you turned them into chandeliers! Great idea.
Wow What a great idea!!!!
you should have your own show!!!
seriously..
Dearest Daniela,
Your lights are so unique and beautiful for each individual room's use; that you never would have found them at any 'lampadari' in Italy!
Genial - as usual!
Hugs,

Oh I bet the girls have fun looking up into their light fixture. Such fun. And I love the way you added the mobile underneath the other one. Now everyone can have their share of the drum shade goodness. :-)
Dani,
This is so cute. I bet the kids love these in their rooms. Super sweet.
