Sometimes the pesky little junction box just isn’t centered to where you’d ideally want to hang your light fixture.
Hey, it could be worse. Buy a pendant with some chain and swag that ish.
Problem solved.
Or maybe you want some swag for extra da-rama.
Check out the ones over this island. So ‘n sync. Bye bye bye.
Or maybe you fall into my category where you’re working on a project and there’s no junction box in the ceiling and client already bought the light fixture and having a junction box installed is not the preferred option.
So you go to your electrician, have him add some chain and an online switch and you plug it in to a standard outlet and swag it over a dresser. Or actually, the dresser part has been undecided. But for 30 bucks, we now have a swagging pendant.
Ta-da. And for my next act.
Just kidding. I do no magic.
Happy Wednesday!

Hi Nancy,
Actually, neither of these rooms belong to me or are my work. The pendant I’m referring to is going in a nursery. Hopefully I’ll share that soon.
Totally brilliant…I actually like this look anyhow, so perfect (c: That yellow number is really doin’ it for me, so *great*.
I’ve been thinking of using the same trick in my bedroom over one of the nightstands. My husband hated the pendant I picked though, so back to the drawing board. I love the look though, and it’s so easy!
Or you have the junction box but husband won’t put it up for you! Annoying. I do love the chain swag actually better than it hanging straight down!
That yellow number is oh so sessy. Who knew swags were so cool.
Where did this light come from?
