Recently, I have been fascinated by innovative lighting. More specifically, I have been especially  intrigued when ordinary objects can be upcycled and transcend their everyday function into a beautiful light feature.

Just came across these fantastic DIY Light ideas from one of my favourite blogs ‘Trendey’

This one by Droog is beautifully designed. The form of the milk bottles combined with the soft light, creates a whimsical feel. The light created an almost becomes frosted effect (as if it is filled with cold, cold milk!!)
