Another Restore

Remember this brass chandelier? I found it at our local Habitat for Humanity ReStore. But the thing is, I don't do brass. In fact, I have been accused of being monochromatic on more than one occasion. I can't help it! I just love greys and beige.

This chandelier was in a donation box by the register and was only $20.00.  I had been looking for a light for quite some time, but wasn't thrilled with any of my options.  I had my husband re-wire the exposed gold hanging wire with a silver alternative, and then I went to town with the spray paint.  The hole in the ceiling for the wires was a little larger than the pendant of the chandelier so we attached a ceiling pendant to conceal all the insulation guts that were showing.
