Look!: Baking Canisters as Light Fixtures

8-25-08-canisters.jpg
Two of our favorite things: repurposing and light fixtures. Artist Rodney Allen Trice combines the two in just one project among the most extensive and useful collection of repurposed housewares that we have seen to date.
 
 

This appeals for a few reasons: the cluster of three shades at varying lengths; the metal baking canisters which are a frequent flea market find, but for which we don't have counter space to use as intended; and the starry pattern of holes punched into the shade.

Fantastic!

You can come up with so many similar ideas from this. I.e, repurposing funky, retro, vintage tea and coffee canisters and the like.

Not really my taste, but something like this would thrill my mom with her 30's style kitchen... :) Cool.
