I bought this mini chandelier years ago and had it above my soaking tub...I miss that bathtub so much because in my current home I barely fit in my tub. I would light the candles and let Calgon take me away, actually I have never ever used Calgon in my life...I prefer bathing salts. Okay, I am sure you are sick of or not interested in my bathing habits, so I shall get to the point. After seeing the image below, I decided to spray paint my chandelier red...

Here is my after:
Yes, I know, after seeing the Eddie Ross bedroom, my living room doesn't look as dazzling, but it is me and I love it. With my picture gallery to the right, my 1950's Asian man lamp from a fabulous vintage store around the corner (will do a post on that store because the owner is adorable and has the coolest vintage items) , the side table I saved from the trash and painted avocado green and added a curtain where doors were broken, my Craigslist chair and the unpainted wood Salvation Army chair that I got for $6, it makes me happy!
Just in case you were curious, I used Krylon H2O (low VOC spray paint) in Red Sea...
Have you all ever spray painted a light fixture and were happy with the results?
P.S. Remember to stop by Thursday for my pottery give-a-way!!!
Oh, love it!! And your living room looks fabulous...that mirror is great! Take care, Caroline
ReplyDeleteThanks so much ladies!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! I just spray painted a vintage tole chandelier glossy white. Not as fun as your red, but more fitting for my room. I think your living room looks so cute - I love that mirror!

I watched you spray paint the chandelier...hmm I thought who would paint a chandelier red and hang it in a living room? Sorry for being a Doubting Thomas...it not only looks wonderful, but adds even more whimsy to your decor...
ReplyDeleteThanks again everyone!!!
ReplyDelete@Eddie...that means a lot to me, seeing as the bedroom you designed was my inspiration! A huge thanks!!
