New lighting makes all the difference. We are moving into a new home that is a bit dated. While buying new light fixtures is an easy and inexpensive way of updating your home, even the $100 on a new chandelier is too much to spend right now. Enter Value Village and spray paint. YOu can find so many chandeliers with a great shape at local thrift stores for just a couple of dollars. A can of spray paint can make these ugly brass fixtures look brand new! I love updating vintage lamps and light fixtures with spray paint. Not only do they look nice but they are a great conversation piece and a source of pride knowing you made it yourself!
