Several light coats are better than one heavy one. Simply apply the paint either long way around the shade or short, up and down strokes, making your way around the shade.ĭo make sure your paint is not too thick and try to apply evenly. I used this chalk style paint mixed with a tiny bit of water to make it a bit more fluid. The inner shade got one coat of paint and the outer shade got 2 coats of paint. There’s not much to this tutorial because it’s really that simple. Now, I did have to remove the lampshades…but the fixture stayed up. I’ll be sharing the new foyer look once I get it finished.īut just look at that fixture…would you ever guess it’s been painted? You can see a sneak peek of the old gallery wall. Here it is “before”…(and the old wall paint color)… The light fixture, as is, was no longer working. I recently repainted the foyer in my favorite, SW Sea Salt and it totally changed the feel of the entry. Which is good because I usually come upon these creative things on a whim! )Īnd no, I did not have to remove these from the ceiling either. Every single thing I used, I already had. So happy with them…and I didn’t spend a dime. Plus, the aged feel is also a good match for my decor. The coloring is perfect for the colors in my home. UPDATE: You can see it now, here > “How To Create Faux Patina” I’ll be sharing this “faux” patina tutorial soon, too. ) I did these a little differently than I did the chandelier. Not bad, but that bronze is not really matching my style or colors in here anymore.Īnd yes, this one got paint.

I’ll be back later on with a full tutorial on how to create this “faux” verdigris. Nope…you’ll just have to stay tuned to see this magic. This finish is amazing….and the only one that didn’t get created with PAINT! I’m hoping that by painting all the ceilings downstairs, it will really brighten up the spaces.
Just to give you a clue as to how dark and dingy they were…. UghĪnd I honestly don’t think they’ve been painted by anyone in 40 years. I’ve painted every single wall in this house as least 4-5 times ( not even kidding, every single one ) ) but have never painted the ceilings.
)Īnd just take a look at that crispy white ceiling I painted last night.

Plus a few random daily life things, too. I share a lot of the things I’m doing, at the moment, over there in the “stories”. If you follow along on Instagram, you might have seen a snippet or two (or 5, lol) over the weekend when I was painting/re-doing them. It did make it look a ton better and the globes were not pricey at all.

I didn’t worry too much because we were planning to move. To be honest, at least 2 of the light fixtures really didn’t match my current decor anyway.
