Have yous e'er works life something actually cool at a thrift shop too yous convey it dwelling too that one niggling thing ignites a spark that makes yous modify a bazillion other niggling things inward your house?

Well, that happens to me on a weekly basis. For my ain mental sanity, I should actually merely rest out of thrift stores, but dangit they depict me inward similar a gnat to a porch light.

This yesteryear weekend, I came across a brassy niggling lantern chandelier at the thrift store. I had been looking for something similar this for awhile, too then when I saw a $5 toll tag on the lantern, I intend I yelped outloud. Seriously, this affair should select been to a greater extent than than $5.
High-five to the awesome individual who donated this to the thrift store.

When I saw this thing, I knew instantly where it would go. 

The inward a higher house film is from the first set of renovations I did to our top dog bedroom. I works life that giant chandelier (also originally brass) too decided that it was ameliorate than the nighttime dark-brown ceiling fan that was at that spot before. 
You select to larn meet the before pic of this room amongst the nighttime woods paneling too erstwhile ceiling fan. 

After a piece of living amongst the giant chandelier, it began to actually annoy me. It was merely likewise large.

The niggling brass lantern seemed similar a much ameliorate fit.

So, I decided to spray pigment the niggling brass lantern, too.
Here's what I ended upward with. 

I actually dear the agency it turned out, too the size fits the room much better.

To update the chandelier from brass to brushed silver,  I used 1 of my favorite argent spray paints, Rustoleum kitchen and on my bath faucet. I similar it because it creates a brushed nickel goal rather than a chrome argent finish. So, it's perfect for all sorts of dwelling decor stuff, peculiarly fixtures.

Once I had my chandelier hung, it got me on a redo-tons-of-other-stuff-binge. So, I completely redid my vanity area. If yous read my weblog a lot, yous mightiness notice what I did. 

 I spray painted the vanity mirror silver, too. And I also painted the tabular array satin black, and completely reupholstered the chair.

See how this affair looked the solar daytime I brought it dwelling from the thrift shop here.

I dear the agency it looks inward the evenings, amongst the niggling light on. Here's what it looks similar during the solar daytime now.

I similar the novel vanity colors much better. They complement the greenish carpeting too embroidered pillows now. 

And that's non all. While I had my spray pigment out, I spray painted to a greater extent than or less other thrift shop find. I works life a niggling gilded  mirrored vanity tray at the thrift shop for $2. I sentiment it would endure perfect to concord to a greater extent than or less of my jewelry. 

Most of this junk is from Target too thrift stores. And Forever 21...or Forever 29, every bit I similar to telephone telephone it.

And 1 final thing, I decided to sell my erstwhile vanity stool that sat nether my antique flip-down desk. It was likewise small. So, I pulled an erstwhile pianoforte bench out of a storage cupboard too painted it black. It's non a permanent solution, every bit I actually select no sentiment what to practise amongst this room long-term. But, it's okay for now.

Check out how I afterward upholstered this stool amongst stripes here.

And those are all of the chamber updates for today!
Thanks too then much for stopping by!
