I am renovating/ updating my bathroom. I had a similar light fixture. I spray painted mine with Krylon matte black and added Edison bulbs...they look updated and very nice. With the cost of paint, shelving and new flooring, I really didn’t have it in my budget for a new light fixture. I’m very pleased with my solution.

Use LED light bulbs, should cut down the heat produced

Use LED bulbs...they barely warm up! I have plant leaves from my houseplants leaning right ON bulbs and the leaves don't even stress being 80 degrees or whatever.

Why not just go to a big box store and buy new fixture for 30 bucks. By the time you buy all that other crap it would end up the same price.

This looks beautiful. It seems to block some of the light. I’m going to try other was to do this that won’t block out the light. I don’t have a window in my bathroom so I want all the light that I can get. Thank you for the inspiration

Nice remedy but a sheer fabric would allow light to pass. Just replace the light fixture!

It seems pretty flimsy, blocks a lot of light, and I wonder about the fire hazard! I also thought the fabric was pretty boring.
@ashleys46522 жыл бұрын
There's a new invention called an LED bulb. You may have heard of it? 🙄It's not meant to be permanent, it's a quick cheap fix for a renter or those on limited funds. It's not about the fabric, it's about the idea. I give her credit for coming up with one and making a video to help others. But keep putting down those who try to put out positive things in the world. You will keep getting all that negativity back and then some.

Nice ! In my home I use only LED lights ,for few reasons ,not only economic ,but safety too and looks - endless ,need something super i suggest to stop by at your local bulb and batteries store -they normally had so many new, improve , futuristic things...Tired to change regular bulbs - buy long term LED - in my kitchen its goes on 8 year -always cool to touch. Brightness -very personalized ,I prefer the brightest in the closets and kitchen island ,rather the bathroom . Like the Idea and lovely done ! A+.
@elmerbefuddled21562 жыл бұрын
Nice affordable idea. Not certain but the builder might've installed the light fixture a bit too high above the sink? I'd attach some wide ribbon, craft wood, metal or bead trim along the bottom edge to visually lower the fixture. And to help hide/camouflage the unfinished interior of the valance. Heat-proof materials, of course. These multi-bulb bath fixtures get pretty hot. (Unless you're using cooler LED bulbs, as others here suggest.)

You don't want a fire. Great looking. Love your projects. I, pretty sure you research before putting any thing near some thing that is hot and could start a fire. You have a huge and beautiful home. I also don't feel you want to burn it down. Lol any Thank you for sharing.

i was so excited I went out and bought the materials and spent an hour making this for my bathroom. then I had to use the rest room, well it was so dark in there that i tripped and fell. As I fell I hit my toothbrush which flung in the air knocking the valance just a bit because it is flimsy. I didnt realize it shifted and because I leave my lights on most of the time, the whole thing caught fire. in one day I am now homeless and writing this comment to save others from the house fire I had to endure.
