How can I make over a brass chandelier?
+4
How can I makeover this chandelier in keeping with my rustic/refined taste? It will be over the table in my log home, but I do not wasn’t a hunting theme/cabin look. My rug under the table is bordered in black and has a floral design with tan, cream, light rust and robin egg’s blue. The table is cherry finished.

Hi, Julie!
The chandelier can be spray painted in any color you choose... Start with a primer (I like to use Rusty Metal Primer from RustOleum) and finish with a couple coats of spray paint (I like Metallic Charcoal and Bright Copper spray paint.). If the glass is removable, new globes can be purchased at home improvement stores. I hope this helps!
I think spray paint will be your best friend here. You can use white for a really updated look, or go with silver or even copper. The metallics look really great. Good luck!
You can spray paint it a rustic color! There are plenty of spray paints for metal
If you want a rustic look, chalk paint works amazing! My mother in law painted over her black one with some cream chalk paint and it looks rustic and a bit distressed after just one coat since the black peeps through in some areas.
You can also apply a few coats to completely cover then use a guilding wax for a rustic look.

I replied to this yesterday. Maybe it didn’t go through. Thanks for the ideas! I’m getting a vision for what I want now!
Use spray paint in a rust or dark brown finish.
