Just Spray Paint It: Brass Ceiling Fan Flip

Got an old brass ceiling fan aka home decor eye-sore? Instead of dropping $100+ to replace it, give it a $7 face lift. The difference is amazing!  Ideally, we'd like to replace every ceiling fixture in the house. But this serves as the perfect temporary fix until we can purchase our dream fixtures. Now we can concentrate on more pressing projects without having to live with the ugly brass fan in the meantime.

BEFORE: dated brass ceiling fan with wicker cross-hatch fan blades


AFTER: spray-painted with Rustoleum Oil Rubbed Bronze & flipped the wicker blades over.
AFTER: simple jute twin on a small spray painted pulley makes a cool pull-chord.
