Fluorescent light covers

Have you ever looked up at the office, store or hospital ceiling and seen this?


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:








The photo below looks very much like the garden my grandmother had in her Brooklyn brownstone:


Sigh, so much inspiration, so little time!

Wishing you only good things, Neen

    1. Thank you Lisa T! I know that gardens still exist all over NYC, but these 1920s gardens have a "secret garden" mystery to them. My next project!
