Vintage Umbrella light cover

A few years ago I ran across a decorating idea using umbrellas by hanging a few of them from the ceiling. This got me thinking that it would be cool to put a light behind the them and have a light shine through the umbrellas for an interesting and unique light fixture. Well I had completely forgotten about this idea until I ran across this heavenly little thing on Etsy yesterday.



Sigh. I am in love. So I purchased this beauty last night! My plan is to get a basic bare two bulb fixture and install it in the existing junction box over my four poster bed, install 4 tiny hooks in the ceiling from which I will suspend the umbrella. Removing the handle is a necessary evil but once removed I can tie the umbrella to the hooks so it dreamily hovers just below the bare light fixture. I think the soft color of the the umbrella will cast a warm pool of light over my bed. I am so excited to receive my lastest purchase and see this project come together. Stay tuned to see the finished product.

Update: I may have also purchased this one. Once I get them I'll decide which one will become the light cover and which one will have a different use. I need help.
