I'm giddy. I love when I get giddy over a project. LOVE.
The other day I mentioned painting my GW chandelier, that has been in almost every room of our house.
Because I am who I am, and have the patience of a gnat, I couldn't wait until our new fixture for this room came. And so, I moved the light to the dining room. AND painted it.
Yes, that's right. I moved it then painted it. If you've been reading for some time, I am infamous for painting fixtures while still attached. I turn off the electricity to that fixture, cover holes in the fixture, and plastic goes over everything. EVERYTHING. Floor included. Then, prime it, wait, spray it yellow. I used spray Kilz and Rustoleum Warm Yellow. It only took one can of each.
And, in about an hour - you have this:
Holy Bananas. I mean seriously. I love it. I am just so excited. It just adds such a fun little thing to our house. Most everything is white or gray, so this just brings in a bit of whimsy.
And of course, because I am who I am, I distressed it a little. I always get nervous doing it, but, I'm always glad that I do.
Dining Room is finished. Until I get to that trim. And change something again.
YEAH! Thanks for the push to get it done!
I haven't shared in awhile:

I think it turned out great! I love that shade of yellow. Not too harsh at all. You have guts to spray while hanging. But I have to ask why you didn't do it while it was down?
ReplyDeleteSo very fun and exciting to see. I am a fan of yellow if you have checked out my blog lately with the new design. Just a little goes a long way, and you rocked it!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I could never spray in place, I get spray paint on everything even with plastic. You are talented!
ReplyDeleteSuch fantastic idea. I have a similar chandelier in my dining I have been looking up at and wanting to do something, now I know what to do.
ReplyDeleteThat is scrumtrulescent! Love that yellow.

Such a cute chandy!! You are better than me at spray paint. I am dangerous and it would have been everywhere!!! I'm always in a hurry!
ReplyDeleteLove the yellow color, too!
Love your chandy! Gives me a great idea for doing the same thing - same color for my daughter. Just made her a new duvet and pillows in cream, gray and that yellow. Only one problem, I have to find one first to paint :)
