What do you do when HomeTalk challenges you to find an object at Lowe’s and create something unexpected. Make something from something that usually isn’t used for that. Yeah, that’s what I said.

DIY Industrial Cage Light

After several days cruising the isles of Lowe’s, I came up with Project #3. Don’t ask what the other 2 were 😉

Check out all the bloggers ideas at the end of the post! You will be amazed!

My mind was in the gutter…literally. This is a gutter strainer.

I know right, I never heard of these either. I was actually leaving the lumber isle headed to the restroom and and this silver thingy caught my eye.

When I saw the strainer all I could think about were those cages for the cool swag lights. And if you’re going to really get your swag on, you must have a vintage light bulb.

The gutter strainer is located in the gutter supply isle and costs less than $3. The bulb was a little over $6. 

I already had the awesome green light kit.

    1. You gave done it this time!! Excellent, excellent creation. I’m on my way to find the screen now. Literally! I can’t afford the expensive light cord, so I am going to use the $5.00 from you-know-where!

    2. Well – how cool is that! I kept wondering what the cage was made out of – I didn’t even know there was such a thing as a “gutter strainer” ha, ha! We definitely know the Lowe’s products after this project! It was fun partying with you on this project!

    3. OK I am confused did i miss something on the light socket and wire, is it all one piece or is it two separate pieces?? And is it easy to find in the electric dept. I think I just found the pendant lights for my kitchen. Thanks for sharing your inspiration!!
