new wedding board page

Check out the wedding board link above or here.  With a little jQuery and Pinterest feed love, I can now see all my wedding inspiration in one place.  I have a feeling I'll be reusing this little experiment for other boards in the future. Enjoy! 

spray painted chandelier and bowl

I have a few items in my house that I wish all matched.  Thanks for a Pinterest find, I found a nice way to make that happen.  The Country Chic Cottage posted a nice tutorial on painting chandeliers.

I fell in love with the idea immediately, and decided to do my dining room chandelier and fruit bowl Rustoleum Hammered Brown.  It brought a brass chandelier and silver fruit bowl onto the same playing field.

I think it made my fiancé a little nervous at first since I painted the chandelier while hanging with just cardboard behind it as my spray shield.



To make sure you don't ruin anything if you take this route, you should wrap up anything you don't want to paint with plastic, only spray towards the shield, tarp the floor, and open the closest window.

It only took a few coats to get everything evenly covered.  I would wait about thirty minutes between coats to reapply and then a few hours to completely dry before removing any plastic.  Below are the before and after photos of both items.
