Spray Paint + Chandelier
I did it!
(More accurately, I asked my husband to do it, and he did it.)
My dining room has a new and improved look in the lighting department. I scooped up my sister-in-law's cast-off brassy-gold chandelier at her yard sale, and bought a can of the highest quality spray paint. Jason is much more better and fantastic-er at spray painting than I am, because he is picky about over-spray and tiny details such as I cannot find the time or inclination to notice. He kindly agreed to paint it for me, after the project had sat in the garage for a long enough creative incubation time. Nope, that's not procrastination! It's allowing sufficient time for creativity to hatch.
I cleaned out the hardware store's rack of at least one style of chandelier bulbs, so not all ten of them match. Maybe a little tacky, but when the lights are on, I dare you to notice.
I would post a picture of the whole thing, but I haven't figured out how to get a good shot of it. Here is where you can insert a helpful comment.

Nice! Spray paint is such a wonderful invention. I've been tripping over a lamp on my bedroom floor for, ahem, a LONG time as it awaits its new color. Perhaps it's time to send Shaun out to do it for me...
