Recycled Traffic Lights

  2. Wow! These are great! I really like the idea of upcycling the lenses. Why wouldn't you?! I think I would do the light fixture myself. Very cool.

    1. Aren't they fabulous? I almost got those when we were constructing our home, but alas, they were too expensive for our budget.
