I was hooked when I saw this. I went that same day to DI and found a basket that would work. But of course, there wasn't a bottom on it. So I bought another basket and cut a circle out of it.
After I wired them together, I spray painted it brushed nickel. I considered using black, like my inspiration, but I just didn't think it would look right in my kitchen. So I took my silver basket, added one of these:
And two of these:
And some paint. Here's what I got:
Don't mind the top bit looking kind of gross- I'm doing some touch up. I love how it looks. The old fixture wasn't awful- it did have a brass bits, which I always meant to paint but never got around to- but it was just kind of blah. Here's a wider shot:
Pardon the flash, but it was really back lit and I didn't want to wait until tomorrow to get a picture.
So, overall, I'm loving it. I just started to wish I had used a smaller flower pot saucer for on top of the basket, but I'm ok with it. In fact, I love it.
