From Brass to Class!

I had this ugly light at the back door. You know, the tacky brass ones that were used a few years ago? I detested the thing. I had some experience using Rustoleum's Specialty Frosted Glass spray (see that blog here: http://debbiesopenwindow.blogspot.com/2012/08/window-privacy-with-style.html) so I decided to use it to update the light instead of buying a new one. I used satin black spray paint on the brass. After letting it dry for a week, I masked it off and sprayed the frosted glass treatment on the glass. I love how it turned out. Stay tuned, I am spray bombing everything lately.

My first wreath made with Deco Mesh.  This stuff is so easy to work with!  I'm ready for spring!!

      I was browsing through my local Goodwill store and came upon these.  Pretty ugly, huh?  Yeah, that's what I thought.    

 

      Then a light bulb went off in my head.  Sorry, ya know I had to say that, right??!! Anyway, I bought the hideous light.  I took the chain and electrical parts off  - they went into the scrap metal recycle pile.  Then I washed the years of dirt and whatever else that stuff was that was in the globes.  Next, I placed indoor/outdoor lights inside and placed them in my yard beside the patio.

        Nice for mood lighting for those cool spring nights on the patio, don't ya think?!  Happy shopping at your Goodwill or thrift store!!  See ya soon with another project!
