Howdy! Ha this been a long week for anyone else? I feel like I started the week with so many ideas projects, but somehow along the way I slowed down. Yesterday, however, I did manage to get out of the house and mosey on over to TJ Max.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0I found these AMAZING metal black lacquered pencil holders and thought that they would make excellent lighting fixtures for the bathroom.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0I removed the white lighting circle tubey thing (I don’t know the proper term) from the lighting fixture and used it as a guide for how large of a hole to drill into the base of the metal pencil holders.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0Next, I drilled a series of small holes around the guideline.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0I used needle nosed pliers to finish punching out the circle.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Then I stuck the white lighting circle through the new hole and screwed it back into the pendant lighting fixture.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
Finally, I screwed the bulb back in and VOILA!<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
Originally I wanted the fixtures to be a bit larger in scale, but I could not find anything the right size around town or online. I totally dig these fun new lights, and cannot wait to find the perfect mirror and accessories for the rest of the bathroom.<\/p>\n

Thanks for reading, friends!\n<\/div>\n
