I finally finished a project that I have been meaning to get to for months. I got the idea to paint my hated chandelier from the other wonderful blogs I stalk regularly. The ladies out there are so talented and creative! I can only wish....
I had already bought the supplies, so I don't have any idea why I waited until it was nice and cold in the garage before I did it. Here's the chandelier before- all brassy and bugging me...
First I took the lights off and used painters tape to cover the light sockets. Then I cleaned it and primed it with spray primer. Finally, I painted a nice satin black.
I still haven't decided if I like it better with the glass covers or without. I plan to paint all the trim white and the walls another color.
I'm very happy with t he result. It took 2 days because of drying time. It was a really fun project, and only cost me a few bucks. I think paint is going to be a good friend.
