Alternative Christmas Lights

I love re purposing, taking an object that is so well ingrained as one thing and turning it in to another. Take for instance Christmas lights, known for trimming the tree and decorating our homes. Here are some other ideas from Apartment Therapy:



Brilliant and beautiful. These branches are transformed with shiny balls and ambient light.



These tube lights look like a modern art installation. Love the bathroom placement.



Can't afford a new light fixture? Disguise it with layers of lights. Delightful.



A little canvas and lights peeping through goes a long way.



My fave. A modern take on the Christmas tree. The only problem is you don't get that wonderful smell.

Cheers!

Favorite Website

One of my favorite websites that I frequent is Ohdeedoh which is the kid focused sibling of Apartment Therapy. I love them both for their fresh take on design and minimalistic approach for small spaces. They also expose their readers to the best of the web, which really saves you some time.

Here are a few of my favorite images from ohdeedoh:

Enjoy!
