Dear ceiling fan,
It's time to ditch the boob look.
C'mon, let's cover it up now.
Sincerely,
It's not me...it's you.
What is a boob light you ask? Well they're lights, that have an uncanny resemblance to a certain part of the female anatomy.
To be honest, I had never heard the term "boob light" until about a year ago. When we bought our house, we inherited a few of these perky pesky light fixtures, and now I can't look at them without thinking; "there is a boob...on my ceiling...and it's staring at me" .
One of them is in our kitchen.
My plan for this project was pretty basic:Unscrew hardware, take down light cover, replace with lamp shade, screw hardware back on...done.
Remove light = check!
I did run into one little hiccup. The lamp shade I purchased, when held up to the fan so I could reuse the hardware, hit the blades. Sooooo either I needed extra hardware to make the shade sit lower, OR I flip it upside down and attach it that way.
Finito!
I think it looks pretty good, considering how simple of a fix it turned out to be.
I feel like its been FOREVER since we've done anything to the house. The weather is supposed to be nice, and Eric and I are actually staying in town, so I plan on being CRAZY productive over the next few days.
Wish me luck!
