I was sitting on the loo at school a few weeks ago and I looked up. I know, a little too much information but I'm going somewhere with this! Anyway, I noticed that the girl's toilets at my school had very cool industrial type lightshades- and the boy's loo did too. Our school is being demolished this year to make way for a fancy new one in 2014. Well, after asking our Principal for them (and having him admit was one of the strangest requests he's had) I replaced the lightshades with plastic ones and bought these babies home.
I thought they were beige, turns out they were a lovely brushed silver covered in 20 years of dust. I love them : )
Joining in with Max, it's not op shopping but I'm showing off anyway!

Good on you for saving these beautiful (and now trendy again) light shades.
ReplyDeleteI hate to think of all the beautiful fittings that get lost when an old building is demolished.

I'm really pleased I was brave enough to ask for them Zara : )
