If you're looking for inexpensive ways to update your home lighting try a (aff link) little chalk paint ! See this DIY chalk paint chandelier!

When I was planning out my vision for the home office, I knew it included new lighting. The old lighting just didn't fit into my vision and I was excited to change it up a bit. As I was looking around for lighting options I found so many and in various price ranges. I was also trying to be very budget conscious with this project so I knew right away a few of them were out of my price range right away.

The before was a little dull for me since I was looking for a little something more in style with the theme of my home office. A rustic modern style. I was going for the Restoration Hardware look.

I am honestly amazed at what a little chalk paint and dark wax can do. I gave the chandelier 2 coats of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Paris Grey, making sure to cover the chandelier, chain, and ceiling plate. I then gave it a (aff link) coat of clear wax followed by dark wax until I achieved the look I was going for. I think it gives it that Restoration Hardware look I love!

This was a very time consuming project, but it was well worth it in the end. I saved since I didn't have to purchase a new chandelier for the office, and now I can put that money towards something else I've been eyeing for the office makeover!
