Colorful Chandelier Makeovers

It has been a while since I posted any chandelier makeovers so I figured I would do a small round-up today....  I personally could never get sick of chandelier makeovers... who out there is with me??    I've been looking around and gathered up a few bright chandeliers to feature today.....




Chandelier Makeover #1

 


LOVE this red chandelier by Meridith of Smitty Baby that was featured on Design Sponge. I love that it is red, it looks great!



Chandelier Makeover #2

Look at this beautiful bright blue chandelier that I found at Crafty Little Gnome.   She said it cost her all of about TWO BUCKS to do this gorgeous chandelier!


Chandelier Makeover #3

 

Apparently this chandelier was a thrift store find.  I didn't see the before but I just couldn't get over how pretty this PURPLE chandelier is that I found at Vintage Revivals!  What an awesome idea for a chandelier..... I think it is gorgeous  :)  

Chandelier Makeover #4  

I love this makeover found at The Tall Chick!  This one went from brass to a beautiful aqua color.  I love it!

I hope you have enjoyed these chandeliers as much as enjoyed gathering them.. Thanks for dropping by!

DIY Decorative Letters- Cheap!

These beautiful letters that spell the word 'Dream' cost me about $6 bucks to make!  I am super excited and can not wait to do some more of them.   

Here is what I did:

I found these foam letters at  Hobby Lobby just the other day...  I had no idea they even existed-they are perfect!  

red and yellow 4 in foam letters

 Second, I primed the letters with plain white acrylic paint.. the colors they came in were way to bright for me. 

Then I painted them with a couple coats of flat black acrylic paint..then sanded and then added one more coat of black paint and VIOLA!! 

Gorgeous decorative letters for your walls, shelves or mantel!

P.S. If you know of any other places that sell these letters online, please feel free to share in the comments, as I am planning on buying and making plenty more of these!
