$20 Brass Chandelier Makeover

Hi there, friends! I own got been working extra difficult to knock out my never-ending ORC to-do list. I've hardly been on the reckoner or social media, then I'm feeling a petty out of the loop! Looking forwards to catching upwardly alongside everyone or then the spider web soon. I did desire to banking concern check inwards today, though, alongside the details from a projection I showed you lot a few weeks ago.

In my week two update for the One Room Challenge, I shared the chandelier inwards our room that nosotros replaced the ceiling fan with. I've e'er loved Jenny's giant chandelier together with looked for i for a long time, simply never came across a similar one. However, I finally came across this i together with idea it mightiness work.

There were a few things that I didn't similar nearly it together with dated it inwards my opinion, mainly the super shiny complete together with the flourish accent pieces.

I knew that pigment would live an tardily create for the finish, together with came upwardly alongside a invention to simplify the blueprint together with become far expect a chip to a greater extent than modern.

I used a Dremel alongside the appropriate attachment bike for cutting metallic to cutting the fan accents off.

I tried to brand equally straight of a cutting equally possible for a overnice build clean look. They were enterprise metallic then it took a chip of cutting, simply the Dremel did a non bad chore together with sliced through fairly easily. Some sparks did wing piece I was cutting, then own got attention if you lot endeavour something similar this, together with live certain to purpose the appropriate safely equipment (glasses!).

After filing the fossil oil cutting edges smooth, it was laid upwardly for paint!

I used Rustoleum's Metallic Brass (hard to notice anymore) to spray it. I decided to pigment the candle covers also then they wouldn't stick out equally much.

Right or then the fourth dimension I was working on the light, I saw this random clock popular upwardly on Craigslist also ($10), together with I directly envisioned it equally a ceiling medallion.

The clock confront was a sparse piece of metal, then I removed it together with the hands together with was left alongside a plastic center. I used the Dremel i time to a greater extent than (it's truly my Dad's, I intend I need i on my side past times side Birthday list!) to cutting an opening out. The edges didn't need to live perfect because the low-cal canopy would encompass it up. After a quick coat of pigment to fit the light, it was all set.

The medallion went upwardly first, taking attention to brand certain it was centered exactly. We attached it to the ceiling alongside two screws that aren't fifty-fifty visible from the ground.

Then, my married adult man installed the light. It took a petty chip of lawsuit together with mistake since the canopy wasn't attaching straight to the ceiling. I ended upwardly using Gorilla Glue to stick it to the medallion.

Globe bulbs finished it off for the modern expect that I wanted. I prefer the clear bulbs simply opaque are available also.

It's a large scale for the room, simply I beloved it that way. The uncomplicated lines together with airy arms overstep on it from beingness overpowering. And, nosotros tin SEE inwards our room! The ceiling fan low-cal was e'er then dim. This i feels similar the sun... we need to add together a dimmer to it.
