I decided to get crafty this weekend after recently seeing this cute as can be tutorial on Pinterest.
*Disclaimer* -- Please disregard my casualty lightbulb while scrolling through these pics...
I definitely needed something above my bed, but I couldn't quite figure out what. I used to have this over my bed, and loved the combo of earthy meets bling, but sadly it had to stay in Texas. In comes the dilemma -- what goes above my bed? I wanted to play up the use of gold as my accent color, and I also knew that I needed light in my room, so this was the perfect combo.
Yes, this is true city crafting... Spray painting on my fire escape! Well, it's better than on the sidewalk in front of my apartment, right?
Aren't those some pretty bulbs? I picked up this strand at a great shop on 60th street that has nothing but string lights, lightbulbs, festive lighting, etc. My mom would be in heaven with their assortment of Christmas lights that I am told are available year round.
This step is where one bulb met its match, sigh. Oh well, when the 'K' is off you don't even know!
And here we have it, the final product!! I am in love. Although I will say that this probably won't be my permanent above bed art due to how heavy all the electrical is-- it's taking a toll on that cute paper mache K. Plus, those bulbs get hot, like you can't even touch them hot! Not too interested in sending my tiny little apartment up in flames.. But for now, this will do!!
