entryway light (again)

29 August 2011

I had a little itch to switch some things around this weekend…
We (well, my husband) moved my $5 light fixture to the hallway. I still love it, but wanted something a little more substantial for the entryway.
Enter a sassy brassy $2.95 fixture from Goodwill. I started spray painting with august 2011 010 1
the Valspar metallic clearance spray paint I used here (do you ever start spray painting and remember that you forgot to take a picture??)

When I spray paint chandeliers, I take the white plastic candle  holder covers off, cover the wire part with tin foil, rig it up from my garage door track thing and finish spraying:august 2011 051 1
The most expensive part were the lampshades from Lowes ($5 a pop) I loved how Layla trimmed hers out with jute trim..I may order some?august 2011 076 1
Total Cost:
Chandelier from Goodwill: $2.95
Spray Paint: $1.99 clearance at Michaels
Shades: $5 X 5 = $25
Total: $30
It is SO Monday around here. I like looking at the chandelier and remembering that I did something productive this weekend…because today feels like a complete flop.
Miss Irene sure made a big mess~hoping you all are safe and sound…
