Yes these are the awesome fixtures that were originally in our basement, complete with LOTS of dust.
New light fixtures are so expensive these days I thought I would give the fixture a little facelift before kicking it to the curb. I scrubbed the glass and spray painted the base with Rustoleum in Oil Rubbed Bronze. It really helped wouldn't you agree but they still were not exactly what I was looking for.
And so I added a lamp shape and some jewels! LOVE!
Here is a little peak from under the lamp shade. I simply took the glass off pushed the lamp shade over the light bulbs. I did not alter the light fixture at all. I have to say in all of my refinishing this was the EASIEST fix ever.
And I can't forget my Chandelier that hangs in the guest room.
My neighbor was taking this one down and was kind enough to think of me.
Jackpot, and I love everything about it!
I hope everyone had a wonderful MONDAY!

Such a difference and with such ease - the best type of DIY! I did something really similar a few years back: http://thepaintedhive.net/2010/06/ceiling-light-revamp/
