What’s better than industrial style? What’s better than lighting? When they’re combined of course. My husband refurbished an old metal fan into this beautiful lamp. At one point I had another blog about DIY and I did a post on this particular lamp. We use it almost every day and we love it. A great addition to our dining room adding the perfect amount of light.
