those shades you made came out really nice.
I always enjoy your videos. You're thoughtful on everything you do. Thank you for sharing.
Amazing!
Looks fucking stupid
So nice!! I love this idea! However, can you do a video for a bathroom lighting fixture that is ceiling mounted? I have a typical ceiling fixture and I hate them. I would love an idea of how to update it!
Will the heat from light melt the plastic
Hi sexy
Cool id a. E n easier way is to remove the shade all together, paint the white part the bulb screws I to and get some Edison bulbs!
