cardboard lights. no, really...

these recycled cardboard lights offered up by graypants are a super summery~y idea...

with a visual summer texture of straw, seagrass or wicker, these lights offer a nod to summer style. with their steel frames, cardboard shells and frosted tempered glass lenses, these lights are interesting in their mix of mediums as well.

i imagine them in a cottage kitchen, or a rustic bedroom even, very beachy, very simple and simply stunning. what about you? do you go for unique shades when shopping for lighting or are you more of a traditionalist? i'd love to hear! enjoy...
