Not very pretty is it? And those lights- my eyes! Hate the lights, love the covers. I used parts of one in my still-under construction, urban loft.
It still needs much finishing work,
I probably will paint them, and also use the remaining pieces of the light cover in other ways in other projects. On Blog.modernica.net, I found this:
I love the color against the darker wood floors.
The light covers might also be useful in an urban garden, perhaps as the basis of a trestle. These photos of 1920s NYC gardens inspire me:

Sigh, so much inspiration, so little time!
Wishing you only good things, Neen

Oooooo clever. Love the high tech look then the cleverness of making trellis. Good eye! CM
ReplyDeleteThanks! I wish I had more time to create my inspirations in miniature!
DeleteVery clever uses for the covers! I especially love the garden idea.
