I love how something ordinary can become extraordinary just by changing its context.

Take these crazy cool “Spaceship” pendants by Etsy seller Urbanhardware.  Want to guess what they started life out as?

Give up?

They are actually fairly ordinary footed metal serving plates from India, turned upside down, stacked, and put to an entirely new use.  Love it!

And those aren’t the only found objects Urbanhardware has transformed into great new lighting…

There are industrial beaters…

Vintage metal vases…

Even rusty old bed springs take on a new appeal transformed into lighting.

Check out more unusual lighting at Urbanhardware’s Etsy shop.
