Materials: Arstid wall light
Shades: Dipped in tea to knock back the white. Dried and then ribbon glued on around base.
Wall Fittings: Painted in Annie Sloan chalk paint, 2 coats, then waxed with clear bison wax to stop knocks.
I also painted the white cables the same colour as the wall to stop them standing out so much against the dark paint.
My first hack, so quite simple but I think they look great!
