Those housewives don’t just sit around eating bon bons you know. They keep busy and you can usually find them updating something in their home. For example…their light fixtures. We all know that light fixtures are like “accessories” for your home that will occasionally need updating. Now, although the light fixture that I am sharing today is NOT a DIY light fixture in the sense that I painted it or made it…however it is a light fixture that we installed ourselves, so I still consider it a DIY project. I hope you enjoy this month’s version of the Housewives “Light Fixtures with the DIY Housewives”.
Remember our bedroom makeover?
Many folks were very interested in where I found the black drum chandelier that is hanging in the center of our room. If interested in locating one for yourself, please click here —->Black Drum Chandelier Light Fixture.
Don’t go yet…there’s lots more DIY light fixtures to learn about below from my fellow housewives…but first maybe you can pin this image to one of your Pinterest boards for later…

Hi Julie,
Can’t wait to see all you have in store for the remainder of the month and the DIY Lighting posts. I enjoyed this mornings post and am already so motivated to change out a horrific 80’s builder
grade BRASS pendant light in my entryway. I’m wondering if you’d be willing to give me your opinion on it and some tips. I have a few ideas as well. If so, I’d be happy to document the process with photos and you could use it if you’d like…..because I’m fairly certain there’s lots of other ladies with this exact same ugly light fixture who are dying to either burn it or swap it out. ?
Hi Windy! I would love to see photos. I also offer affordable on line decorating consults. Just let me know if interested. ~ Julie
Hi Julie ~
Great lighting ideas today. Do you have any suggestions for a fan with “bling”? Not necessarily hanging crystals, although I LOVE, LOVE that look, but something other than the big eyeball light on a fan that seems to be all over out there. I have a burplap drum light with crystals from Home Depot that hangs over my dining room table and it would be nice to incorporate that into my family room which basically flows into the same area. Any ideas? I really enjoy your site! Thanks.

Hi Julie…I just fell in love with this one: http://amzn.to/2oJkVwf
Goodness, these people are motivated. I need some of your zest. I’m just getting my spring footing! Excited about erupting buds and my vegetable garden, just not ready to start spring cleaning. Send me some of y’alls energy please
Ha ha! I hear ya Carole! We have lots of time before Spring is over. Lets all enjoy it. No cleaning required! -Julie
Lighting is something many overlook, it can make or break the look your trying to achieve. Your light in my opinion is awesome the frosting on the cake. Who said you can’t pair a rustic ceiling with a blingy dramatic light fixture…totally cool suite!
Thank you, Darlene! Totally agree with you. I love mixing rustic with bling. It’s my most favorite style. Have a great day -Julie
Stunning drum fixture and goes so well in your bedroom.
Vey classy look
I’ve had the black drum light for 5 years now and still love it!
I cannot say which I love most, because I love them all. Thanks for sharing them.
Thank you, Ivory!
