Brass Chandelier(s) Makeover

050-1
In the 3 1/2 years that we have lived in our home, we have replaced every single fixture and faucet.
Every single one that is, except for these.

This is was my shiny brass dining room chandelier.

102
And this is was my shiny brass entry chandelier.
112
I knew that something needed to be done. But light fixtures that big cost A LOT of money!
And if I was going to replace one shiny brass chandelier, I needed to replace the other one too.
Especially since they are in the same line of vision from several points throughout the house.
I looked high and low trying to find replacements that wouldn’t break the bank, knowing all along that we would also have to hire an electrician to come out and do the actual replacing.
My handy hubby has been able to do everything else himself, but he put his foot down when it came to trying to replace a light fixture in a 2 story foyer.
He’s not the biggest fan of heights.
And then, it hit me!

Why not just hire an electrician to come over, take the lights down, let me paint them and then pay him to come back and re-install them? It would definitely cost less than buying 2 new fixtures.
So that is just what I did!
And, if you want to feel really badly about your housekeeping skills, I can’t think of a better way than this.
Just check out that dust….oh yeah!

134
I decided to use an antique brass color (Rustoleum Spray Paint) rather than going with a true oiled bronze. I really didn’t want the fixtures to be too dark and I also wanted them to still have a reflective quality.

141
But, as anyone who has tried to spray paint something round will tell you, there is just no way to avoid those drip marks. See that one on the left?

146
I decided to just work with them but sanding it a little bit and then going over those spots with darker paint (Espresso colored craft paint) and basically doing a dry brush technique to get the look of an aged patina.

148
It took a few days of painting to get it all just right and then the electrician came again and hung them right back up. Here is my giant entry brass chandelier
BEFORE

112
And here it is AFTER!

069

                                          
                                 

    Before                                                                     After
          112073
                                                                                             113                                   064

               

103
I’m still debating putting simple off-white shades on this fixture just to soften it up a bit.
What do you think?
I just absolutely love how much warmer my entry feels now!
And now, let’s move onto the next fixture! Here is my Dining Room chandelier


BEFORE


102
And here it is
AFTER Well, sort of After.

014
I loved the new off-white linen shades but I still felt like something was missing.
Something like maybe some…

080
BLING!
This chandelier needed to be bling-i-fied.

I found these packets of crystal prisms for $5 each at Lowes and wondered if it would work to just clip them onto the fixture.

024
And, it DID work!
I think they were the perfect finishing touch.

075-1
Before

After with crystals
 108
I absolutely love how they glimmer and shimmer at night with the light on.

037
Here is a close up of the round ball at the bottom to give you an idea of how the
“aging” paint treatment (a.k.a. working with drip marks) turned out.

055
While I was at it, I decided it was time to do something that had been bugging me for awhile.
This room has really high ceilings and I knew that the mirror should have been hung vertically to maximize the height. I was also feeling like the blue plates were just a tad too busy in here.

And I really wanted to get that white table back into the family room where it belonged.

035
Ahhhhh…sooo much better!

091
Notice the new table too?

I found it at Hancock Fabrics and was able to get it for 40% off!

081
I love the detailing.
082
121
111

050
I just love seeing my “new” chandelier reflected in the mirror now.

087
So, for the cost of an electrician plus a few (more like 8) cans of spray paint, some elbow grease, new shades and crystal prisms, I have 2 new light fixtures!
And I couldn’t be happier with my old-turned-new chandeliers times two!
Thanks for joining me today at the Fence,

    They both are really beautiful–great idea not going too too dark with the finish!
    The crystals added just enough sparkle, I think!
    Great job!

    I love the new look! I need to do that with my chandelier in the foyer too. We just replaced burned out light bulbs and cleaned it real well while we were painting the foyer. My foyer chandelier is very similar to yours. The good thing is that it’s a classic design. You saved a ton of money going this route!

    Vanessa, you did an amazing job on both of those chandeliers. The color is perfect. ORB would have been to dark. And yes, they are very expensive to replace so what a great way to get a new look. I have a very similar on in my foyer and actually still like it because Mr. Country would have a bird if I wanted to replace it.!

    Yay!!!!! Providentially, I’m at the “change out the ugly brass light fixture” stage of the dining room right now. I’m trying to decide if I want shades and if I want to do the ORB or something else. I love the way yours came out. I don’t know if it will fit with the rest of my dining room or I’ll end up with a darker finish, but I do feel more gutsy to paint it because yours looks so great. (Both of them)

    Lucky me, I have a daughter who learned to hang light fixtures working on a summer “flip” job a few years ago.

    First your light fixtures turned out great. The crystals finished off the DR light. Your mirror accentuates the height of the room better now and I didn’t even know Hancock sold furniture. I noticed your pillows because I have used that fabric all over my house.

It's honestly fairly representative of my state of mind these days as I can't seem to make the date on the calendar match the date in my spirit because it feels like it should be January 45th. Every year this month drags on and every year it seems to surprise me for some reason. In addition, my heart just feels heavy as I witness a lot of darkness and sadness around me. So, I'm choosing to control what I can control by making my house feel as cozy as possible, relishing the sunshine whenever it dares to peek through the clouds, gathering inspiration for warmer weather projects and, most importantly, resting in the comfort of the sovereignty of my Father.

And yes, there are still twinkle lights on my mantle because those help when the sunshine goes away again. ✨
Happy weekend! The rainy and gloomy weather here i Happy weekend! The rainy and gloomy weather here in the Willamette Valley has me feeling less frustrated about my migraine forcing me to just snuggle up indoors and these flowers in my kitchen are lifting my spirits. What are you up to on this holiday weekend?
It’s time for TIP TUESDAY! This week, I’m offe It’s time for TIP TUESDAY! This week, I’m offering a gentle reminder from my own parenting experience after feeling my heart pricked with conviction about what was waiting for my daughter every day after school. I hope it will encourage you! 🌿#tiptuesday
The day after Christmas I found myself laundering The day after Christmas I found myself laundering and folding all of the linens we used the previous night as we hosted my husband's side of the family for dinner and other festivities. As I laid out each cloth napkin and folded them one by one, I couldn't help but be struck by what a simple, yet meaningful, task it was. It's such an honor and privilege to be the hostess and, at this stage of my life, I realize that this has almost one hundred percent become my role now. Our parents are in their 70's and have either downsized significantly or simply don't have the energy to take on hosting duties for a large group. I could resent this. I could feel overwhelmed by it. But, instead, I'm choosing to embrace it knowing that, someday, I too will pass the hosting torch and I hope that I will be welcomed with love and attentiveness. So, I fold the linen napkins, taking pleasure in the way all of the creases line up and how neat and tidy they look in the drawer of my dining room buffet. These seemingly simple chores are part of the lifeblood of homemaking and my attitude towards them can either be one of gratefulness or grumbly-ness (yes, I'm making up words now). 

And I’m choosing gratefulness. 

“This job has been given to me to do. Therefore, it is a gift. Therefore, it is a privilege. Therefore, it is an offering I may make to God. Therefore, it is to be done gladly, if it is done for Him. Here, not somewhere else, I may learn God’s way. In this job, not in some other, God looks for faithfulness.” (Elisabeth Elliot⁣)

“He has made everything beautiful in its time. H “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.”

Oh how I love this week each year! It’s my favor Oh how I love this week each year! It’s my favorite for sure. Everything is still festive and decorated but there’s none of the stress of the cooking and wrapping and making preparations. It’s the week where we get to take everything slowly and simply enjoy being together while the house still has twinkling lights and we can just be cozy.

What about you? How will you be spending this week? ✨
