Kitchen Mason Jar Light
Problem: Ugly fluorescent lighting fixture covering a 12x12 hole.
Solution: Add a beautiful Mason Jar light from Lowe's and put
3” trim around the base to hide the hole.
Yeah, this was easier said than done. The light itself was a nightmare. The cords were really long (like 6 feet). They were adjustable but pulling them through
left a lot of cord and the mounting brace of the light wouldn’t fit on the
base. In order to avoid splicing all of
those wires, we stuffed all of the wires up into that large electrical
box. I guess we were grateful for that
12x12 box after all.
The light was designed to be held up by dangling it from 2
screws. I could just see this thing
crashing down to the ground so the Roomie simply drilled through it and
attached it to the ceiling.
After hours of frustration and a trip to TWO local hardware stores, she came up with a brilliant idea…adding trim around the rectangular base to hide the open box.
It looks great don’t you think?
This is definitely Pinterest worthy!
The kitchen is done!!!!!
