I'm always singing the praises of paint and what it can do, how it can change things. I love the magic of paint! I've learned that when I see something, and perhaps if I'm not totally liking or loving the way it looks, I find I can change it by using paint.
I wanted to share another example of that. I loved these light fixtures and they were a huge improvement from the original fixtures we had in our master bathroom. They were perfect ...well, almost. The silver color on them wasn't going to go so well with all the gold hardware and faucets in our master bath.
Gold paint to the rescue!
I had some acrylic paint in the color metallic pure gold on hand in my paint stash, which I had picked up at the craft store for another project. I figured it was the fix to my problem.
I dabbed a very small amount of paint onto a thin dry paint brush and gently wiped gold paint over the silver. I tested a small spot, and then another, and another, and kept going from there. I repeated that until I got the desired look I wanted. Now I do have the perfect light fixtures!
I am truly loving the look of the light fixtures, now. There are actually two of them, they look the same except the other fixture only has three lights on it. I am so pleased with the results, that I took a chance and I did it! Now I can even say I have a unique pair of light fixtures, too!
I really love the magic of paint!...
