Lighting has come a long way in the last few years! We used
to only want to use incandescent bulbs because of their wonderful warm
glow, but now we are getting used to LED’s which are so much more energy
efficient! We used to only use very typical lighting fixtures such as crystal
or wrought iron chandeliers and lamps, and now we are experimenting with
repurposed items such as old used discarded pipes, old used discarded conveyor
belts, old used candle-stands and virtually old used discarded anything and
converting them into fabulous new lighting fixtures. Interior Designer Beverly
Vosko of Beverly Vosko Interiors has long believed that re- using Antiques and
discarded used items in her Interior Design schemes means giving those items
new life, but ever since she became a L.E.E.D. Green Associate and a Certified
Green Professional, “Designing Green” has taken on a new meaning for her. She
loves Designing and Remodeling Green and incorporating these unique one of a
kind re-purosed items into her design and remodeling schemes. Not only
can using repurposed lighting help the environment by keeping those repurposed
items out of landfills, but if used creatively, they can become focal points
that add interest and excitement to her clients rooms! Look at these
wonderful photos of new repurposed lighting! And if you like her ideas, please
