Dress up an old brass a little spray paint.
Turn a flea-market find into an envied lighting fixture in your home. Old brass chandeliers don't have to be junk or take up space in your garage. Give your brass chandelier an update by spray painting it in your favorite color. A red or green chandelier makes a funky addition to a kitchen, while a royal blue or purple brings a little of Paris into a bedroom. Be creative. Look through design magazines to get an idea of how you can use chandelier color in your living areas.
Instructions
