Chandelier Makeover

Hello everyone!

I decided it was time to make over my chandelier in my dining room. I have always liked this chandelier, but was ready to change it up to go with the changes I made in my dining room a few years ago.  

Here it is before:

And here it is after:

I didn't like the fact that it seemed to almost match the wall paint in here.  So, I decided to paint it grey to match the furnishings instead. I also removed the shades.

I'm very happy with how it turned out.  Now, I'm contemplating painting the walls in here!  It just never ends, does it?  

Here is a shot of it with the lights on.

By the way, I painted this while it was hanging up.  I just placed a drop cloth on top of my table and stood on that so I could reach it.  It took a few hours because it was tedious work, but the end result was worth it.  I used SW Fawn Brindle to paint it.

My husband loved it as soon as he saw it (since I painted it while he was at work).  He said he wished we could do that same thing to the one in our foyer.  We would have to hire a professional to take it down though since it's in a two story foyer above a large staircase.  So we may have to wait a while on that one! 

Have you ever painted a chandelier?

Thanks for stopping by!
