Updating a Ceiling Fan With Spray Paint
Easy
I know that ceiling fans are a no-no for decorators, but y'all know that in real life people use them.
Ceiling fans follow me everywhere. We have had them in each and every house that we have owned. Sadly, in each house they were either not our style, or they were the white bottom of the price range fan ( see below) and we have had to change them out for something a bit nicer. I have spent hundreds of dollars just updating ceiling fans.

We have one in our bedroom that I decided to simply change up the white color with some spray paint.
My husband took the fan down and took it apart for me so that I could paint the pieces.
It's a very small, easy change that freshened up the space and saved money.

This looks so good. I don't think I could do it.

I used Rub n Buff on the fan housing. It had been a 1990's antique brass color - I love the silver leaf!
Oh BTW we're painting our ceilings, lol. We were going to sheetrock them but we like the acoustical ceiling especially when all 4 grandchildren are visiting! Our room stays quiet.
