Hi Mandi,
I LOVE this and I have been searching for that particular rope and haven’t been able to find it. And I feel like I have searched EVERYWHERE. Any leads??

Thanks!

Hi, the DIY looks so pretty. I’m about to do the same thing for the black cord of my lamp. Could you tell me the size of this rope? I found a lot of different sizes, could not figure out which size is suitable? Looks like 11/16″

HI! I just stumbled across your blog and I love it! This light is beautiful, one thing I’m curious about is, is this light intended to plug in or be wired in? I’m a renter so my problem is finding awesome lighting that i can plug in, I have a couple fixtures that have the long cords and I just play it into my decorating, was just wondering if a plug would be or is the case with these.

How awesome! I see the ends of the lamp cord in your pictures are unfinished and I’m so curious how you finished that aspect.

This is a really fabulous DIY! You are extremely unique and creative. I’m impressed with the originality you brought to the contemporary take on the swag light.

Love this craft– so excited to do it!

Wanted to write, though, to offer an opinion on Schoolhouse Electric. I used your tip, Mandy, and was so excited to receive my lightbulbs. When the order finally arrived (after about 3 weeks), the largest bulb was broken. I immediately sent an email to customer service (accidents happen, especially with giant glass objects) and was told a replacement would be shipped soon. After 6 days of no follow up, I emailed again and asked if it could be shipped express; I was told it would be shipped “as soon as possible.” It’s now been another week. Two weeks after I received a busted lightbulb and five weeks since I ordered and I don’t even have a shipping code!

Will absolutely never order from Schoolhouse again. For those considering it, look elsewhere for your Edison bulbs; it’s really worth the extra few dollars if you hope to receive them on a reasonable timeline. Here’s hoping I receive the $48 bulb I ordered or, if not, a refund.
