DIY...chandelier update


i found this on the nesting blog. i love the idea...the color she chose is great too!



1.Clean the chandelier thoroughly to remove dirt and rust.
2. To eliminate a step (roughing up the smooth finish with sandpaper to allow paint to stick) consider using Krylon Fusion spray paint, which easily sticks to slick surfaces like metal.
3. Tape off any areas that you do not wish to paint with painter's tape.
4. In a well-ventilated area, hold the can about 12 inches from the chandelier and spray using long smooth strokes to avoid drips.
5. Let dry for about an hour. Then come back and add another coat. Repeat as necessary until you have desired coverage.
