Workshop Cage Lights

You guys! That hanging bare bulb in my office closet isn’t just a safety hazard or code violation… it’s trendy chic! I just need to add a curlicue cage around it.

    Bare bulb with cage around it=reminds me of ghost stories involving mental hospitals.

    you can get some awesome Edison bulbs to go in it from Schoolhouse Electric Co.! I’m considering a few myself…

    OMG, they are $200! I think you should come up with a BHG-ish idea to make a cheaper alternative :-)

    Those are so cool. Those would be perfect options for the kitchen island in my parents beach house….hmmm. Thanks for sharing.

    These are too cool for school! The hardware is pretty killer. I kinda like them clustered, too — like a funky downtown chandelier.

    Agreed! We’ve been searching for the perfect pendant lights like this to hang over our nightstands. Great find!

    Hi Nicole. Great idea. I got my cage from ebay for $60. Much cheaper than the Anthro version.
