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!



For a more detailed tutorial with photos go to:




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!
