Give me a can of spray paint and who knows what I will attack...this time it was my brass chandelier in the dining room. I have been wanting a new chandelier in this room for a long time now, so before spending some moola on a brand new one, I thought I would try painting my old one and guess what? I did it and boy I'm so glad I did, because I just LOVE how the makeover turned out. With the money that I saved on this project, now I can get another DIY project going...maybe some new trees for the backyard. I'm trying to decide if I want to put in some palm trees or crepe myrtles...decisions! With Haley's wedding coming up in July...Mr.CC and I have a ton of things to get done around here...a wedding means a lot of out of town family will be coming in and we want everything to be looking GOOD...you know how it is...don't you? Do you try to fluff your nest when company is coming?
Thanks for coming and I hope
to see ya here again,
Linda

Okay. You have convinced me. I have a brass one, but I want to paint mine either white or black. What do you think? Or should I go with something more like yours?????
This looks absolutely WONDERFUL! You GO, Girl!
Wow...that looks amazing! I can't believe it was once brass. Love your shades and medallion also.
The new color really compliments the cute shades. I think it looks just as good, if not better than one you would buy brand new. The hammered finish is really popular. You've inspired me to do our dated brass chandelier! Looks great!
The hubby likes to razz me about fluffing before company comes. It's only right to fluff :) Make our family and friends feel at home.

Now that is a transformation!Love the color and the shades!
That looks so great! I have a brass chandelier but three of the lights on it are broken so I think we have to replace it. But you have me thinking about a light fixture in one of the bathrooms. Thanks for the idea!
Great transformation on the light fixture, Linda. You did a great job!
Looks great! Love it!
Ding Dong Dang~
That looks awesome!
another friday's favorite for sure :-)
This is just fabulous! I'm sure you've given many people inspiration to redo those brass light fixtures. Love the shades especially.
Love the look you achieved with the spray paint.
I really like the black and white look. The chandi looks brand new!!
Awesome job,
Sylvia

A girl after my own heart!!! I painted the two front porch chairs in the hammered finish, and love it. I love how your chandi turned out and good for you for saving all that moola!! Looks Fabulous Linda!
I love the new look. Isn't it amazing how it can turn something into looking like a whole new piece? Your shades are really cute.
Love that chandy! I'm crazy about the toile lampshades. Great look!

Awesome job! I had no idea a can of spray paint could make anything look that great.
I hear you about work around the house before company. It's usually A LOT but things always feel so nice when it's done.
Have a great weekend, jj
Love the look with the awesome paint job. Beautiful job!

I love it Linda! I just spray painted a mirror this week and agree that those easy and free changes can be the most satisfying! As soon as I get pics taken of the mirror I will link it up to your nifty thrifty party. :-) Thanks so much for joining our Inspiration Friday party this week!

P.S. I want those shades!
So beautiful. It is fabulous.
Oh Linda this is simply PERFECT! I love the color, the shades etc... I love the shape of the shades even! Such talent. I'd love to have you link this to my VIP party today @ http://designergarden.blogspot.com/2011/03/vip-party-7.html
thanks so much for linking up to our Wicked Awesome Wednesday!
Oh Linda, I LOVE this chandy! I turned out wonderful! Where did you get the shades? I love them.
Gorgeous makeover Linda~ your chandelier is lovely in it's new finish and with those darling shades! Thanks so much for sharing this at my party! :)
When you mentioned brown, I was wondering how that would work with the shades, yet the color is pretty and so dark I think it works too. Painting is certainly quicker and easier on the budget, especially when you still get a ver pretty light in the end!
Linda,
Your light looks wonderful! I love the ORB spray paint this is very much like it. I love how it turned out. Very pretty. Yes, I do fluff for company. Thanks for linking up!
Sherry
Oh I love the new light! I know you are glad you didn't go and buy one when you can make your old one look this good. May I ask where you got your shades? They just set it off. Great job!
This is a great makeover! I love how it turned out. Can I tell you that I am always forgetting the before pic too? I'm too anxious to get started.
way to go! It looks gorgeous! Yep, I spruce up a little, but never so far in advance. I can't think that far ahead!
You still have time and money for more projects! yay!
gail

Great transformation, Linda! I've used Hammered Finish Brown on a couple of things and I love how they turned out. The chandelier shades are wonderful.
Hugs,
Sherry
Love the color! Spray paint is so addicting. Instant transformation with little effort but great results! Your chandelier is beautiful! :)

Beautiful...and love your shades!
No less than awesome!!
m ^..^
love it.. i did this with an outside chandelier
and i loved it as well. i just used the regular
oil rubbed bronze not the hammered.looks great with the shades
In my last house, I painted one like that -- twice! I definitely recommend it to save money. A nice man rewired it for $10, just to make sure it was safe.
