All you need is a little spray paint! Both of these light fixtures were an ugly brass color that looks so dated. I wish I had before pictures, but trust me, they were a very shiny brass! All I did was two quick coats of black spray paint (no sanding, no primer) and there you go! Total time (not counting drying time) 30 minutes!

thats a great idea! The first thing I did when we moved in was replace ALMOST all of the light fixtures. It makes such a difference. I never thought of spray painting them tho!

ReplyDeleteThat works great. I've done a few myself with spray and it really does change the look.
