In Week 1 I shared a DIY Light Door Project that I made several years ago.

As part of my plan for this master bedroom makeover, I wanted to add a second DIY Hanging Light to the opposite side of the bed to create symmetry. Plus, I just really love the look of hanging lights!

As luck would have it, I had an old bi-fold door in my basement that was the perfect size to use for this, so this project is very inexpensive.

DIY Hanging Light With Upcycled Shutter

Supplies

• Black Cord Set With Toggle Switch
• Open Bottom Mason Jar Glass Shade
• LED Chrome Vintage Edison Bulb
• DecoArt Americana Acrylic Paint, 2-Ounce, Turquoise Blue
• Upcurled Wall Bracket Hook

This really was a simple project but I am so happy with how it turned out.

I used one of the easiest painting techniques ever-basically a dry brush technique.

Simply use light brush strokes to achieve the coverage that you want.

I wanted some of the wood from underneath to show through similar to my first DIY Light project.

Once I was happy with the paint, I attached the wall bracket and then wrapped the cord around it and behind it to plug it in.

Then it’s just a matter of adding the mason jar globe and light bulb.

I love the silver mercury glass bulb I found and the open mason jar. It definitely goes with the farmhouse look I am after.

Here is a picture of it turned on. It is a very soft, warm glow-perfect for a master retreat!
