I've never had good light in my craft room and this certainly directs the light down towards my counter, instead up towards the ceiling. What a nice surprise! I can't wait to start crafting again with better light! While they were at the antique store they also spotted this vinyl toy barn.
I had wanted to find a barn for Josie's birthday horse collection.
It's absolutely adorable. I especially love the graphics.
The barn even comes with all kinds of its original accessories.
The best part. The barn was only $4.99 and it closes up for easy storage.
Well done, Chris. I really love my new/old lights and Josie adores her new/old barn. Happy Father's Day, sweetie!
Have a thrifty/crafty weekend, friends.
That mason jar fixture is so special and perfect for your craft room! What a find and a perfect gift. The little barn is adorable too, Chris and Josie have a great eye! Have a great father's day weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love that little barn and how special that hubby just went ahead and put the light up for you. I have blinds that have been sitting in the garage for 3 years waiting to be installed. I could do it myself but it is a matter of principle now!!!! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteHow sweet of your husband to be the "light" in your life! Thebarn is adorable. Since you are so crafty here is a link for a DIY barn/house that looks like a summer project.

The light is wonderful-I love it. And who doesn't love red barns. Kudos to your Hubs for great shopping! Happy Fathers Day to Chris.
ReplyDeleteThat light is brilliant - in every respect!

ReplyDeleteI'm sure my sister had that horse set. And Chris, I LOVE the light fixture! Don't be shocked if I copy you.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow---- was hunting for a visual of the old vinyl barn/farm set my sister and I had when we were little, and I found it on your blog! :) I am 43 and remember playing for long, happy hours with that set, until it fell apart. haha Is there a name/brand anywhere on your little girl's to tell me where it's from? Thank you, and it was great seeing a piece of my childhood again!
