Super Easy Industrial Style Fan Makeover
It has been a busy week over here...getting ready for Gemma's 2nd birthday party and today we celebrated Anthony's preschool graduation. The graduation was very emotional and just so so cute! Loved every minute of it and was so proud of my little (big) guy. I am definitely a proud mama this week : )
Had to Share this!
Since we are planning for this party this weekend, my man and I have been doing all types of little projects around the house. It will be the first party we are hosting here since moving in so we will have company that has yet to see our home or have yet to see it since more changes have been done. Since I am OCD about everything looking "perfect" I am trying to tie up all those details that I have been dying to do for months and now have a reason too.
A few days ago we finally got around to fixing our 1980's oak and brass ceiling fan in our family room. I posted a reveal about two weeks ago of this room (click here to view) family room reveal and I avoided taking any photos with that hideous fixture. You can see the fan in the before photo and how well it fit into the style of the home prior to our changes. Yea everything was basically oak, brass, and 1985!
We of course were on a budget once again and wanted an instant upgrade without dropping money on a new fan. I thought well...we have painted everything else in this house why not try to paint this too! I wanted the style to be very industrial vintage and I thought adding Edison bulbs would be perfect. Crazy that I actually bought these wayy back in February and that is how long I have been thinking about doing this project. Wait no longer...here it is!
Here is what the fan looked like before:
Materials: Black Flat Spray Paint 3 Vintage Style Edison Bulbs ( I purchased mine at Home Depot) Cotton Balls: To protect the light bulb sockets from spray paint. That's it!
