How many of you have moved into a home and found you had this ugly brass colored chandelier handing in the dinner area? I was given this one by a couple who just moved into a new home and didn't really like it. They saw ugly and I saw what it could be. I decided to take it home repurpose it for my design office area. I hope you like it.
On this brass chandelier I first used krylon semi gloss white spray paint for my base coat.
I took painters tape (you can get painter tape at any hardware store like Lowes ) to cover were the light bulbs go it works really well to cover and easy to take off.
Here is the chandelier spayed with the white base coat.
I wanted to add special details and I came up with using a lace doily to place on the ceiling fixture. Spray paint it white first let dry then place the lace doily on and spray paint the second color. For this project I used Krylon brushed metallic nickel in a satin.
I love how it turned out.
Here is the chandelier sprayed with the final coat of nickel.
After spray painting I collected perals and crystals to add some sparkle to this chandelier.
Here is the beauty I saw.
Remember that anything can be repurposed, with a little creativity and imagination the possibilities are endless!! Get creative and have some fun ~ Leila
