<div style="text-align: justify;">
This afternoon we finished the Domino shoot! I'm so excited to share all the projects we did to get the house ready for this spread. We did a few DIY lighting projects and I love how they turned out. And actually, for Phoenix locals, I've partnered with the Home Depot to make this project and to host a DIY lighting workshop on July 12 from 10-11:30am. <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">You can register for a spot at the TEMPE (Baseline) location here</a>. I hope you can come! I've attended a couple of DIY Workshops before (the one on tile was SO helpful!) and they're always a good time. I'm excited to help lead this one where we'll be talking about lighting trends - it will be super casual and hopefully a lot of fun. :)</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
So for this lighting DIY, I desperately needed a new fixture for the upstairs landing. The old one was a big bummer, and after splurging on a new Arteriors chandelier for the entry, I didn't want to spend hardly anything on this light. I remembered posting <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">this idea years</a> ago and it felt like the perfect quick solution for our landing light!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
I picked up 12 socket splitters at Home Depot. They were about a buck each, in the electrical aisle by all the outlet and switches. In the same aisle, you can find a simple porcelain canopy socket for about two dollars.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt=" photo IMG_7521.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/ALBUM%2021/IMG_7521.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
After taking all the stickers off, I screwed in the sockets and figured out the overall shape I wanted for the light. What I love about this project is you can shape the light however you want. You can make it more organic and branch-like or you can keep it pretty compact like I did. The ceiling on our landing is not super high, so I needed to keep the fixture short. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I spray painted the canopy and the assembled fixture (which is easier to spray when it's put together) and I used a little painters tape to protect all the electrical parts. After two good coats and drying time, the light was ready to install.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt=" photo IMG_7544.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/ALBUM%2021/IMG_7544.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I also ended up buying a ceiling medallion from Home Depot. I like the way it finishes off the fixture and makes it look a little more fancy. I think it's so pretty to mix really traditional things with more modern ones.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt=" photo IMG_7592.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/ALBUM%2021/IMG_7592.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Twelve of the splitters makes a pretty good-sized fixture that produces quite a bit of light. I used I think fourteen 25-watt bulbs. It's so sparkly! :)<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And I LOVE how it looks with our new wallpaper! Such a quick and cheap project, but I am so happy with how it turned out!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

PS The people at The Home Depot who invited me to host this upcoming DIY workshop sent me <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">a link to a lighting contest</a> they did with Instructables.com. The winning project was this pretty <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">reclaimed wood lamp</a>. That geometric shade is made from straws! Very cool!</div>

I love how high the ceilings are in our entry, but it makes it a little bit tricky to decorate in there! The big walls just swallow up even two or three pieces of art stacked on each other.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt=" photo IMG_5571.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda010/IMG_5571.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div>

<br />
I'm so excited to share more, but at the twelfth hour before the big shoot next week, we have decided to wallpaper the entry! I am <i>beyond excited. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt=" photo mIMG_5559.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda010/mIMG_5559.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div>
<br />
<i><br /></i>The wallpaper arrived within an hour of the wallpaper hanger today - just in time! We saved a little bit of money by prepping the walls ourselves, but I wish I could have DIYed the whole thing. I've hung wallpaper a bunch of times before and it's usually a doable project, but this was definitely a job for the pros. A big part of it is we are completely out of time and this was a last minute decision, but the bottom line is I get dizzy just thinking about carefully hanging those long sheets on a 18' ladder! It is worth every pretty penny to get to admire from afar on this one! ;)<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I can't wait to share the afters, but in the meantime, I'll show you my inspiration photos. I LOVE how wallpaper can stand alone in a room, and how it looks so magical layered with art and other colors and patterns!<br />
