Perfectly crusty... I do believe this little basket was originally one of Lanis treasures...am I right???
A basic light fixture, with S hooks spray painted to match hold the basket just so...
A hap-hazzard collection of crytals and keys add a little something...

Perfectly crusty...

I do believe this little basket was originally one of Lani's treasures...am I right???

Our light fixure by the front door has always been a dilema...low ceilings mean no fun/fancy light fixture.  When I saw this rusty, crusty basket at the French Flea...I knew just what I would do with it...

There are definitely some treasures at the French Flea (including Gretchen and Lani!).

Thanks for sharing!

suewannabeinkc writes: So much cooler than the plain white fixture! A perfect combo of rusty and shiny/sparkly. LOVE IT! We have the opposite problem - our (cheap builder grade) entry light hangs from a very long cord and chain. Every replacement is too short. You've inspired me to keep looking for a solution. Thanks!!
