When we bought our house over four years ago all the light fixtures were cheap, gaudy brass. Every. Single. One. Shelling out money for new light fixtures when the ones we had worked flawlessly wasn’t an option we wanted to choose. So, out came the DIY in us and we painted them! And while we were at it we also painted the floor vents, the wall intake vents, light switch covers and plug outlet covers. Now the house looks much more updated and modern for well under the price it would have cost to replace all of those things. We used Universal All Surface Spray Paint by Rust-Oleum in the color of Oil Rubbed Bronze Metallic. This stuff is awesome. It stinks to high heaven, but it’s awesome. Here is a small sample of our before and afters. We’ll be working on the ceiling fans next.
