REPURPOSED LIGHT
FIXTURE HOLIDAY DECOR
BY Melissa DiRenzo
It’s amazing what a little
imagination can do to
transform an old and
dated light fixture that I
found at the thrift shop for
lest than $5. By removing
the guts and filling it with
some fun festive pieces
it’s transformed into a
adorable piece of holiday
decor and the best part
is that it’s one less item to
make it to the landfill.
