Today I'm joining Kimba atASPTL for her DIY day link party.
Back in April we found this tractor wheel at the AntiqueWeekend in Warrenton, TX (my heart's beating faster just thinking about the one coming up in October).
I immediately knew where I wanted to put it. We've needed better lighting on our back porch and I've had boxes of lights sitting in my laundry room for a year. I wrapped the wheel with Christmas lights first then added another layer of small globe lights. My wonderful hubby wired it to the light switch and helped my hang it from the porch awning with chain.
I looovveee it! We've had so much fun sitting out underneath the light and just talk or watch the kids play.
I think it's such an neat repurpose. I can't wait for it to cool off here so that we can spend time out on the porch again.

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! That is awesome, I love it, I WANT it, LOLOL. Did you say your hubby hooked that up through the light socket? I would love to replace the boring light in my gazebo with something like this....I'm gonna have to do some hunting for a wheel. :)

ReplyDeleteNow go look at the photo of the chandelier all lit up. You see how your photo mark looks? I thought that you had painted or put some vinyl lettering on the beam--which might be a fun thing to do! Check it out!
Thanks for sharing your wonderful idea.
