Updating Light Fixtures


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!

  1. 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!

  25. Problem of many diets is that they are designed to cut down caloric intake to
    minimum what can be dangerous. If you incorporate honey
    into your weight loss plan, you can control your cravings,
    especially for sugar. The laser is applied for about 20 minutes to the fatty areas of the body, after which the
    patient turns around to the opposite side of the treatment.
