entryway light (again)

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??)august 2011 012

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…
