Its no secret were suckers for vintage marquee lights, so you can image our excitement when we stumbled upon this DIY ampersand version from Megan, who blogs about other brilliant DIYs at Happy Looks Good on You. The final result is so spot-on, it looks like it would cost big bucks — but the truth is far from that. See what it takes to get the look yourself.

I am absolutely loving the industrial style and have big plans on incorporating it more into my home. Ive loved industrial inspired design for years, but never felt like it went with my house. With our dining room makeover last year I now feel like it gives me an opportunity to lean towards the industrial side of things a bit more. With lots of help from Curtis, I made this ampersand marquee light. Which in turn, led to this industrial inspired mantel. Which Im kind of in love with.
