The rug is Pottery Barn Moorish Tile, they discontinued it over a year ago, unfortunately! I have it in yellow and orange, they also made it in brown.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!!

I bought the same chandy months ago and couldn't figure out how to install it w/out a cord kit. So glad I found your site! I just finished putting it up in my bedroom and I'm in love with it....not to mention proud of my first DIY electric project! ;-)

How have I not found your blog before now? I just got this exact light fixture from World Market and had the same problem with it not fitting over my old fixture. Your hack worked like a charm! Thanks!

Micah, I didn't use the cord kit. I think that is more for a floor lamp, or if you want to plug it in and swag it to the ceiling. Go to the hardware store and buy a simple 'globe base' fixture, the little holes that are supposed to hold on the globe are perfect for wiring up your pendant. Just make sure whatever you buy has a receptacle that will fit through that little hole in the pendant!

Question: So you did not use the World Market cord kit to install this light? I am now in possession of this exact pendant, but I'm not sure if I need the cord kit. Thanks yo!

LOVE it! And thank you for the shout out :D...I actually like your light SO much more than mine, the ceiling mount looks sooo much better than how I have mine hanging as a chandelier...I think I may need to copy your procedure!!!! It looks stunning!!!

We had the same problem in my craft room with the old fixture with a giant ugly hole and used a ceiling medallion. They are so much easier than patching and painting and I love the way they look. I mentioned it before....but I love the light fixture!

Girl power! Great job and who knows, you may have just inspired me to try this instead of asking my husband to do it.

2010-01-13T10:31:19.000-08:00

I have a walk in closet that I luckily DO NOT have to share with my hubby and I just decided that I'm going to replace the gross boring light that's in there with this same beautiful light!! woo hoo!!

2010-01-13T10:30:26.444-08:00

I absolutely love capiz! It glams up your new room perfectly. I'm STILL drooling over your yellow/gray color scheme. Yellow's my favorite color and I'm dying to apply that palette to our home. It's taking all I have in me to not rip you off. ;)

This is AWESOME! Thanks for the step-by-step proce...

This is AWESOME! Thanks for the step-by-step process. It doesn't look as scary as I thought! Great job!

Sharon, I just meant that I stuffed the area where the bulb will go with kleenex so no spray paint would get inside! I should've clarified that, the kleenex didn't stay in there. Too funny!

Fabulous job ... but what did you mean by "...

Fabulous job ...

but what did you mean by "then I stuffed some kleenex in the receptacle" .... I don't think I've ever seen that in any electrical directions before!

Looks fab! Also, I completely understand about the paint. Every time we switch out a light fixture or switch plate we discovery some hideous color. My entire house was hunter green, school bus yellow or brilliant electric blue at some point.

I usually don't say this, but I can't help it.... You go girl!

Nice job on the fixture switcheroo. Electrical wiring is kind of intimidating. And very nice pictures of the glowing light!

gorgeous! well done :) annie @livingwithannie

Wow, that room looks great! And I was afraid to change light fixtures before, but I think you've inspired me. Very helpful and useful information. Thank you.
