Goodwill Bathroom light fixture before and after!! Love me a project!

Wanna see what I've been doing?

:0)

I went to Goodwill with my little guy the other

day and found this fixture for $3 bucks!

I know it's brass, but I was attracted to the porcelain ends.

See, aren't they pretty?

I bought it for my boy's bathroom to replace one of these.

This is not a pleasant light fixture to meet at 6am....

200 watts glaring in your face that early is not nice!

Sooo....to make this "new" light fixture work in their

bathroom it needed a make-over!

Yea...a PROJECT!

:0)

First I went to the store and picked up three of these....

They were only $3 bucks each at Walmart!

Next I took the porcelain pieces off and taped off the receptacles with tape.

Next, I roughed up the surface with a regular old

sanding block.  This is to help the primer to stick.

Speaking of primer...

this is what I used,

Krylon, indoor/outdoor white primer.

I gave everything a couple of good coats

of primer.

I let it all dry really well

and gave it a couple of coats

with Krylon Brushed Nickel.

Here it is all painted and put together.

OH, did you know you can buy the little

set screws for the globes?!

I bought them at Lowes and also gave them a coat of the

brushed nickel. You get them in the lighting dept.

See why I just loved the little porcelain ends..

they look so much better with the nickel!

I got it all installed on a Sunday afternoon after church..

it took about 15 minutes!

:0)

Here's some pics of it all installed...

Now, I just need to do something with that big ol' slab mirror.

:-/

Hope you guys like my

before and after of my Goodwill goody!

Have a blessed day
Missy
