If you’re like me, you’ve got old “can” recessed lighting that’s about 8″ in diameter (exaggerating a little). I just ordered these instant adapter kits that actually turn this old lighting into a nice drop pendant. I saw them and said I GOTTA HAVE IT!

Adapter Light Kit from Ballard Designs

Plus, they’re affordable… ranging from $79 to $99 at BallardDesigns.com. That includes the adapter and the drum shade. And they come in a nice variety of colors and textures.

Great colors!
