I bought the cutest Hot Pink Vintage Chandelier from the Alameda Antique Faire a few months ago and I finally got around to re-vamping it. You may be thinking, it was so cute pink why would you paint it. I know I liked it pink too, I just figured my husband wouldn't think it was quite as awesome as I was in our bedroom!
The Before (Amazingly I remembered to take one)
My moms ingenious way to paint it, I hung it with a bungee cord from our basketball hoop.
I painters taped everything that I didn't want sprayed
Then I used my favorite Rustoleum 2x primer, almost 2 cans. then I used Rustoleum black glossy paint- 2 full cans and then a little bit. I could have done it with 2, but later realized I'd missed a spot! Now I just need to put the crystals back on and wire it up!
I originally wanted this for our bedroom, but since we didn't have an overhead light I put it in our closet. It actually provides a lot of light and looks great!
BEFORE
AFTER
Chandelier- $99 (I think I haggled her down a bit, but honestly can't remember what I paid)
Rustoleum Primer- $6.80
Rustoleum Black Spray Paint- $ 12.00
TOTAL: $ 117.80
I have some other neat projects from my closet, I'll share those soon.
XOXO,
Annie
I love that you've painted the chandelier pink! It's so unique.

Hi Annie,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for checking out my blog. I am so sorry it has taken me so long to stop over here. Are you in the Bay Area or in SoCal?
I have been thinking about checking out the antique fair over in Alameda, but didn't know if it was worth it. Judging by your find (and its makeover) it totally is!
Wow, you really got a deal!! It looks fabulous.
