Lately I've been motivated to start building lamps, light fixtures & chandeliers. Every random street cast off I spy gets careful consideration if it can be crafted into a light source. Of course I have yet to actually buy a lamp kit and create something brilliant, but I am tripping over the abundance of inspiration whether it is a wall ... read more
For those that follow apartmentjeanie on instagram may have notice I have a penchant for photographing my perfectly executed manicures. But this current creation is a definite fav.
