Liberace Is Gone!!!!!!!

No I have not lost my mind, just an ugly gold ceiling fan I decided needed to be called "Liberace"!
Take a look;

This is what I looked at everyday for the past 2 years!

Gross!!!!

Really?  Nothing like brassy gold with shiny laminate blades!

Ughhh!

After shopping online and in stores I just couldn't find a fan that I liked in my price range.
My mom sent me a pic of a fan similar to mine that was in a oiled rubbed bronze and suggested that I paint mine.  I really wanted this one gone, but after serious shopping I decided to go for the paint.

Yep, that's right I painted right there in my living room.

No guts No glory was my initial pep talk.  After hanging all the newspaper and covering everything in sight I got cold feet.  But I pushed them on..  And.....

Tada!!!  Liberace is gone and a dark oiled rubbed bronze ceiling fan is in!

Even the fan blades got a new coat of paint

And clear seeded glass globes finish off the new look

So, so, so, so ,so, so much better!  Don'tcha think?

I used one can of Oiled Rubbed Bronze spray paint by Rustoleum for the whole project. 

The seeded glass globes came from Lowe's and cost $21.00 for all three.

Total cost was $27.00!  Not to shabby to give new life to a perfectly ugly ceiling fan!
