Green Living expert Danny Seo offers this inspiring makeover at his blog dailydanny.com - a birdcage chandelier that cost only $15 to make.

The chandelier was part of an "eco makeover" of Kerry Washington's apartment for the June issue of O: The Oprah Magazine. There were so many fabulous features of Washington's apartment makeover that it might be easy to miss this great lighting project.

Seo took a $9.99 paper light fixture from Ikea and ripped off the paper to expose the wire ribs. He wrapped the frame in chicken wire from Lowe's and added branches and craft store birds from Michael's.

"I chose interesting bulbs (since it's exposed), and voila! Birdcage chandelier, " Seo said on his blog. "It was inspired by a $2,000 version I saw in an antique store and thought . . .  'I could make that.'"
