Paint Project #2: Breakfast Room Light Fixture

Well, I bought the light fixture for the breakfast room to replace to builder gold basic one that you see above. It matches the light fixture in my dining room. I got a good deal on this one as well at Lowe's. It ended up costing me about $25.00. It wasn't as great a deal as the other light but still a good deal. You probably guessed that I painted it my trusty Krylon Oil Rubbed Bronze. My husband kids that he is going to come home one day and the boys will be oil rubbed bronze in color because I decided they would look better that way :) So without further delay, here is the final result.

Paint Project 1: Dining Room Light Redo

I have hated this light fixture ever since I first saw it. It was that new build gold basic light fixture. I finally got around to replacing it. I was so excited about replacing it that I forgot to take a picture of the before. It was exactly like the picture above that I got off the Krylon site. You can see my old fixture in the mirror of the second picture and in the right hand corner as well. I was trying my best not to get it in this picture :)  The fixture had two lights that wouldn't work and the rings on the bottom of the light were always moving around from the boys touching them.

Anyway, we were at Lowe's one Saturday doing a project with the boys and decided to look at lights. We found the light above on clearance. It had been $178.00 but was reduced to $43.88. We had a $10.00 off coupon the boys had gotten with their Father's Day Frame they made at Lowe's. So, the final cost with tax was less than $35.00. Not bad, huh?! BUT, I didn't like the color so I got my trusty Krylon Oil Rubbed Bronze spray paint and transformed it. I also hated seeing the chain so I made a chain cover out of extra fabric. I know it is OCD but you have to admit it does look better than the chain. I still want to touch up the edges with a little aged old rub but pretty much it is finished. Below are the pictures of the final product. I just love it! It has a matching fixture that I am also painting to go over my breakfast table. I will post pictures of that redo soon.
