The powder room is where I got bad at taking before photos, maybe I was in a rush to get this bathroom started.
I had plans to replace our hideous light fixture (can you see it up there?), when Hubster suggested that it was similar in shape to the one I had been eyeing. I had been blinded by the brass; I do not like brass, especially faux brass. I do however love bronze…
Hubster removed the light fixture from the wall. I tried to remove the globes to protect them from the paint (and thoroughly clean the nooks and crannies), but apparently they were extremely well attached. I had to be very creative in covering the globes with paper and painter’s tape, since I’d have to spray the fixture from several angles. So with a few coats of the “oil-rubbed bronze” spray paint, I was able to transform this light fixture and spare its life.
I can’t wait to show you the entire transformation, just a little more work…
What do you think? Are you a brass or bronze fan?
I detest gold fixtures. Your looks beautiful!
Thanks Elle!
Good eye Hubster!
Looks SOOOOO much better! I also gag at fake, shiny brass…ew.
I have plenty of it here, can’t wait to get rid of it all! And of course he has a good eye, he did pick me afterall. 🙂
Haha, very true!
That’s so cool. I saw the light and was thinking that’s not bad, but I also hate faux brass. Great makeover. You took something with good bones and improved it instead of just tossing it
We did a lot of that at our first house too. Thanks Rufus!
