Lately I’ve been trying to pay attention to the details of decorating. I’m not so good at details, but a person can learn – I hope. :)
We have lots of golden goodness around our house. Unfortunately, I am not big on gold. I started with a can of Rust-oleum’s oil rubbed bronze and looked around for what I wanted to be black.
How ’bout this golden goodness?
Do you like the reflection of my messy living room in it? I thought it added to the overall effect.
I’ve seen spray painting light fixtures all over the internet and so I thought I’d try my hand at it.
What do you think? I like it. I like it so much, I am going to paint the other four.
I then headed outside. Look at these beauties.
The gold had definitely lost its luster.
I took them down, washed them, dried them, painted them, let them dry, and put them back up (all in a day). And now look.
They fit my style much better now.
I did the ones on the front porch as well.
And the one on the side.
Spray painting was so much fun, I took a cheep, silver vase (forgot the before picture) and painted it as well. Then I picked some “weeds”, cleaned off a trouble spot counter (which took all morning by the by), and decorated.
It encourages me to keep this counter clutter free. Yay.
But the best part is that now I feel like my porch is decorated for fall.
I love the vibrant reds of fall, don’t you? :)

Oh I love it! I’ve spray painted a lot of things. One of my favorite jobs was a chandelier I found for $5. Re-wired it, and spray painted it black. It hangs in my breakfast nook. Spray paint can cover a multitude of decorating sins, love the stuff.

What a change in your “catch-all” counter!!!!! I can’t believe it is the same house even. Keep it up, girl, you’re doing great.

That is amazing! What a fun and inexpensive way to transform light fixtures (or many other things) to suit our tastes. Thank you for the inspiration and ideas!
