A coat of grey paint and aged with a brown glaze made my new chandelier feel delightfully old. It just seems to fit with the room much better.
The other bonus was that our new chandelier has 12 40watt bulbs, which give us a total of 480 watts while our last one only had 6 25watt bulbs for a total of 150. This makes a HUGE difference, especially because the ceilings are so high.

What a good eye for a project. So many would not have seen its potential. I love it.
I love all the arms this chandy has! What a great find! I really want to check out that salvage place sometime...is that the same one you got that gorgeous window from?
That is a fantastic makeover! Well done. I usually see potential in things, but I don't think I would've had a vision for that one. Just gorgeous.
LOVE IT!!!! You have a great eye for hidden gems
What a great before and after. In the before picture, I never thought that "ugly" chandelier could be transformed. You did an amazing job! Jamilyn
WOW the power of paint!!! But I do think I'd like the chandelier even more if the black metal parts were also painted grey:)
That is a ridiculous price! I never find things that cheap. I also love that style of chandelier, great job!
What an amazing transformation for such a great find. Love your style!
Oh my....That turned out perfect!
Great price, wish they were that cheap here!
It looks gorgeous!

The chandelier looks amazing! You did a wonderful job! Can I ask how you kept the gray from getting on the black iron "arms?" Are they removable? Great work!
