Our Home Eclectic Restored Industrial Lighting

Regular readers may know that Marc ( the other half) is very very talented when it comes to repairing restoring and creating industrial stuff. This huge light is a case in point we have since seen similar, original ones for sale at over £2000! The other day as I was wandering around the house (attempting to tidy but getting distracted as usual) I realised that so many of the lamps and light fixtures we have in our home, were either made or restored by him, and I thought you may like a quick look at a small selection…?

We rarely buy new lighting but I would like some stylish wall lights in the kitchen and sitting room. So I have been researching online but don’t mention it to Marc!

In The kitchen Industrial Coffee Jars:

Lets start in the kitchen, he didn’t make these, in fact we have had them years and I cant even remember where we got them from! He did however, change the fixtures and add some colourful retro cable.

We waited a long time for the Anglepoise lamps that are on the wall. We had one but needed a matching pair and we wanted them the same…

An example of Industrial Lighting at its best.

This huge light below in the sitting room is my favourite

Hello February! Happy as Larry with an armful of new fabric, bargain priced fabric, those lace fabrics were £1 pm 😳From local store @hansonsfabricsandcrafts Day made 🙌🏻
.
Big hello to new followers , let me reintroduce myself . . . I’m Ashley 👋🏻 a fabric and yarn obsessed midlife ‘gal’ 
Former air stewardess, costume maker and retail store manager. 
An empty nester with son at University, (he’s not too far away 😭) I feathered a new nest with 2 cats who live happily with our two dogs. 
My partner and I are keen on restoring pre loved vintage items of furniture lighting etc into unique pieces for our home. He does the hard work I draw the sketches and point at things. 
I post about my handmade life, sewing and crochet projects, our home restorations and occasionally the clothes and beauty products I wear and use as a midlife woman .
I find it very hard to be niche as I have too much to say! 
I have also been writing my blog Lazy Daisy Jones (link in bio) for almost 10 years. 
I very much enjoy connecting with other midlife girls on insta and proving it’s not just for the under 30’s . 
Leave me a comment if you are over 35 and any of this resonates with you Hellooooo x

Proud Muvva ! 
2nd year of his commercial photography degreeand a selection of my boy’s @jacobcramp work can be found in @pierjournal issue 2.
I think he takes timeless portraits. He only uses film and develops his own film too. I won’t mention what he thinks about digital photography ( 😳) 
He is also becoming an very good cook. He cooks for us when he visits. 
I can’t wait to see what the future brings for him.

Me, my dog, a bowl of crochet monsters, coffee brewing and chocolate digestives in the tin. Welcome to my world. I’m so rock ‘n roll it hurts!
.
Book is where the patterns for the monsters can be found, save for reference it’s a good one.
