If you are new to my blog, i want to share a little trick i use all the time....I love to paint light fixtures...Of course the Shabby chic is of choice when getting a Thrift find...Paint it white...It is always a winner...I my case, i have something for Copper!
I find this beautiful Chandelier....and it was HUGE and Cheap....But i needed 7 Sconces to go with it in the entry room...
SO...I bought French looking sconces in SILVER..On clearance!
Then i painted them Copper with the paint from the Craft store....DECO ART
Then when dry, i brushed brown paint on a rag and rubbed it all over the sconce...
Here, you can see the entry!
In the new house, i had a sweet surprise....In the dining room....This copper chandelier....I guess, i will not have to paint it :)
Next time you see a Chandelier...Think about what metal paint or color paint you could transform it with.....What looks good with your room...
Another paint inspiration....The sconces in French Bathroom.

ReplyDeleteThe cape on the corner...It all depend on your surface. For wicker i would spray paint. I did not even sand before. The surface was very porous.
ReplyDeleteI don
t really like to spray paint. I like the paint brush and the control on the surface and effects.
