My New Kitchen Light

October 21, 2013 by Fotini Filed Under: diy, home decor, kitchen light, lighting, mercury glass 33 Comments

I have a slight obsession with mercury glass and I knew I wanted to incorporate it into my new kitchen island lighting. I started browsing online, only to find super expensive options.

Similar here here ($99 each) and here (over $218 each)!! I was determined to make this work, so I headed to none other than, Homegoods! I was ecstatic when I found these pretty mercury glass candle holders and snatched up three of them. The plan was for my hubby to use a glass cutter to create a hole for it to fit on the new lighting. Well, you won’t believe what happend next… We started unscrewing the bottom of the candle holder to find a hole already there, and it fit the light fixture like a glove! Score!! Like major score. I may, or may not, have been doing the happy dance in my kitchen! Within minutes I had a gorgeous new mercury glass light fixture!!

The best part about it was the cost! Each candle holder was $9.99 and the trio mount was on sale at Lowes for about $47, which brings the total cost to $76.97!

I think it’s the perfect addition to our kitchen space and I couldn’t be more happy with how it turned out!

I love decorating for Fall! I adore the rich tones and natural elements. I use real leaves, pine cones, branches and pumpkins (of course!) as often as I can! We’ve already been to a few different pumpkin patches already this season and intend on visiting a few more 😉
Follow along with me as I incorporate a little bit of Fall into my {home}.

I just can’t get enough of pumpkins this year! The kids are loving them too so it feeds into my obsession! I’ve also added a few mercury glass pumpkins to my collection that I’m just swooning over ♥  ♥ 
Thank you so much for sticking around and touring my home with me!
