Howdy. I wanted to share with you a little piece of my latest home decor project. While in Phoenix, I had the opportunity to stop by Sweet Salvage and pick up a few treasures. {smile} One of my treasures is a section of rusty bed springs. I know, that doesn't sound like such a 'treasure'. But, it truly is!
I want to make a light fixture out of this piece of rusty bed springs. I know, that sounds a bit 'off' or 'crazy', but I have a vision. And my vision also includes a piece of decorative 'art' to make it special. While visiting Round Top, Texas, during Antique Week, I saw a piece of very interesting link chain. I didn't buy it at the time, because the seller wanted to sell over 10yards in one bundle. And I just couldn't justify the expense for the purchase. The seller called it 'drag chain', and claimed that it was used in chicken coups.
Well, I found a seller on eBay, who was selling a 10 foot section. I can handle 10 feet, just not 10 yards. My chain arrived a few days ago, and well I have been busy. Until today! I opened my box, and the excitement bubbled up as if it was Christmas morning! I plan on using this 'chain' as a decorative accent piece to my bed spring light fixture. I haven't figured out {yet} how to attach it to the bed springs. But, don't fret, I believe that I can figure it out. {smile}
Stay tuned. I can't make any promises as to when I will post photos.
Thank you for stopping by. I hope I have given you a new way to look at 'old' things, with a new eye! {smile}
