Kitchen Chandelier for $10

  I’m so excited about my $10 chandelier purchase at the Habitat for Humanity Restore!  It was exactly what I was looking for the kitchen BUT the brass had to go.

I hung it from a tree, spray painted it and then decided to hand paint certain areas. Take a look at what it looks like now hanging in my kitchen.

I used Rust-oleum Espresso Brown gloss spray paint. For the hand painted areas I used Worn Penny Metallic Elegant Finish paint.   I love this paint!  You can get it at Michael’s for $1.89 a bottle.  It comes in several different finishes.

What a difference wouldn’t you say?  I couldn’t be happier with the way it turned out!

It’s been cloudy and rainy the whole weekend, so as soon as we have a sunny day I will take more pictures of my kitchen.  

As always, thanks for stopping by and I’m looking forward to hearing what you think of my $10 chandelier!

    I like the copper paint (penny) ...you could't convince me that was a $10 chandy.

  6. It looks great. I wish I could paint my brassy kitchen light. We'll see if I work up the nerve to little electrical myself. Love the two tone you picked.
