Chandelier Makeover with Chalk Spray Paint

Chandelier Makeover with Chalk Paint

Hey gang! I’m sharing my thrifty project for this month’s installment of the Thrifty Style Team!

Once a month I join the super-talented ladies below to bring you a decor project that won’t break the bank!

Redhead Can Decorate | 2 Bees in a Pod | At the Picket Fence | Bliss Ranch | Chatfield Court | Cottage at the Crossroads | The How-To Home | DIY Beautify | Duke Manor Farm | I Should be Mopping the Floor | Salvage Sister and Mister | Smart Fun DIY | The Painted Hinge | What Meegan Makes

This month I made over the chandelier in my dining room. Here’s the before picture:

How To Makeover A Chandelier In Farmhouse Style

I made over this chandelier once before and really liked how it turned out, but I tend to get bored with my decor quickly so it’s makeover time again!

Supplies:

  • Rust-Oleum Chalked Spray Paint in Linen White
  • Rust-Oleum Chalked Spray Protective Topcoat in Matte Clear
  • Sandpaper 220 grit
  • Painter’s tape or newspaper

Chandelier Makeover with Chalk Paint

I took the chandelier down from our ceiling, removed the light bulbs and light cages, and plugged the light bulb sockets with painter’s tape to keep any of the spray paint from getting into the sockets (you can use newspaper instead if you like).

Keeping each coat as light as possible, I sprayed 2 coats of the Linen White on the chandelier and light cages, allowing each coat to dry thoroughly. Even though I kept the coats light, I still got some runs, but I just sanded them out once the chalk paint was dry.

You might have noticed my curtain rods and hardware that are from our dining room. I decided to paint them at the same time so they would match the chandelier.

Once the paint was completely dry, I distressed the chandelier using 220 grit sandpaper and then sealed everything using the Matte Clear protective topcoat.

Once the chandelier was completely dry, I hung it back up in my dining room.

I really like how it turned out – for the most part. I think I distressed it too much. What do you think?

    I think the distressing is just perfect! I have an old ceiling fan that I’d like to give the same treatment to!

    I love what you did to your chandelier. I would like to change mine up a bit, too. But just the shades. I wonder if I can get shades like yours without the light. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks.

This month's theme is decorating with frames, so I jumped into the blog wayback machine to see what I could dig up that would fit the theme. I found this fall wreath from 2014 when I was in a shabby chic phase. Do you think it passed the test of time? ⁣
⁣
There's much more where this came from - you can get the directions on how to make one of these frame wreaths for yourself as well as check out all the fabulous frame ideas from all the LOL ladies on my blog - link in my profile.⁣

I hope you have the best weekend! <3⁣

Grab a stubby milk can, fill it full of corn stalk Grab a stubby milk can, fill it full of corn stalks and you got yourself a nice front porch display for fall. Got critters that would eat the corn? Do it sans corn (just the cornstalks). Want to see more pics of my fall front porch? Click the link in my profile! Happy Sunday! ⁣
