I’ve been searching high and low for a new light for our master bedroom makeover, but I’m just not willing to pay hundreds of dollars for a new one nor do I have that kind of money to blow–let’s be honest!

So, what’s a girl to do?

DIM (Do It Myself), of course!

The other day I was shopping at my local Restore (aka. Habitat for Humanity) down in Wilmington, and I was able to pick up this below beauty for $5. Yea, you heard me right! A whole whopping $5!!

As Mike (aka. super talented hubby) likes to say, “We’ve got big a$$ money and we ain’t afraid to spend it!”

**Just in case you couldn’t hear the tone in that phrase as I’m saying it out loud we are being EXTREMELY sarcastic.

What can I say? We’re very classy. Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge.

It’s not that pretty right now, but I have so many ideas running through my head along with the ridiculous amount of inspiration that I found on Pinterest this past week. Now all I need to do is figure out which direction I want to take.
