Hi Judy, I think this is the one you might be looking for? https://www.randrathome.com/2019/04/one-room-challenge-week-4-diy-farmhouse.html Sure is a snazy update!
Hi Judy, you need to replace the light kit on the fan so it has four bulbs instead of just the one light fixture. Then you can paint it black and add the wire shades. You can buy kits on Amazon or at lighting stores. Hope that helps.

Kim is right. You would need to get a 4 lamp light kit. Lowes, Home Depot, or Menard's.
Hi Judy, there are lots of ideas on updating a ceiling fan here:

The light kits are inter changeable and instructions are very step-by-step. Take the fan down, scuff with steel wool, clean with denatured alcohol, and spray paint the fan.

Hi Judy, you can certainly paint it, and change the lighting kit in it, but in looking myself I see that the kits are just as pricey as the entire fan with light brand new. Perhaps you can paint it and just change the shade on it to a more stylish look. https://www.lowes.com/pl/Wire--Light-shades-Lighting-parts-accessories-Lighting-ceiling-fans/4294386103?refinement=3832530804
