Vintage Industrial light repurposed

On a recent flea market shopping trip, I found this Industrial light that I wanted to use as a pendant kitchen lighting.

Because our kitchen is small, this light just didn't look right in that space. 

I went with this other option instead.

Egg Basket light

Our living room has no overhead light, 

so lamps are the only alternative...

in this case a hanging lamp.

The light switch turns the outlet on and off, so when I turn the lightswitch on, it turns on all the lights plugged in that outlet.

I had to remove all the original electrical parts, then I used a pendant light kit with a 12' cord.

I had to be creative in how to make this work. 

I added the old chain (found at my parents farm) to hang this from the ceiling.

Most of the cord (minus 1' out of 12') is hidden. 

It works, it's safe and it's plugged right into the outlet.

The light/cord was about $6.

Stay Frugal,

Daniela
