I just LOVE a pretty DIY light and if you throw in an upside down birdcage I’m completely sold. (Actually, I predicted back in November of 2009 that basket and birdcage lighting would be a hot trend, so I feel sort of gleefully smug when I see it in action!) I found this tutorial tonight on Pinterest and just had to share it with you. Click on the Design Sponge link for the full post. (Note to self: This idea would look cute at the top of the 2nd floor replacing the “boobie light” that is currently haunting everyone upstairs.)

I don’t see the instructions. Am I missing something?
Hi Nancy. It says above to click on the link for the original tutorial. Posts located in the “inspiration file” are others’ posts that I store away for myself (and share with all of you).
Hi Beth, thanks for such a quick response! I have three bedrooms with very ugly light fixtures and several bird cages that would look beautiful as chandeliers! I can’t wait to bet started. Have a wonderful evening. Nancy
I’m so glad you commented on this post because I had forgotten all about it and would love to do this in my hallway :). Blessings!
Hi! This is my birdcage chandelier… I have to tell you I originally installed in December 2009! We were definitely on the same wavelength here… I love it! 🙂
This is such a wonderful idea… if only my ceilings were high enough to pull it off!
And boobie lights, hahaha, I thought we were the only ones to call them that… they’re ALL over the rental we’re currently in, sigh.
WOW! I have never seen that before! You are very crafty!
LOVE IT!!!
Love it…but I have to say I was with you…bought and wired a birdcage as a hanging fixture back in 2009 as well! Yeah Beth…trend setting and predicting. Look out Anna Wintour! LOL!
I also saw this idea on Pinterest! I actually bought a birdhouse similar to this one at Roots Farmers Market (in Manheim) over the summer and have been thinking of using this idea in my powder room. Loving your blog:)
HAHAHAH the boobie light…we have one of those too….but we ALSO have those uber ugly brass default chandeliers in our dining room…its on its last leg right now….one more bulb to blow out. Because I refuse to buy anymore. and when that last one goes…its time for a new chandelier….I really like this idea….and i might just do this in a bronze!!!!
