As perfect as it was in it's original chrome finish, I have a lot of gold finishes going on in this 60's house and wanted the light to be in a gold finish as well.
I taped off the inside of the light sockets. All 18 of them. Not only because I wanted it to look nice and professional, but it's the safest thing to do.

I used a red primer for metal by Rustoleum. I used red only because that is what I happened to have, white primer would work just fine.
This sucker is BRIGHT and I LOVE it! Pretty sure my electricity bill is going to go up…we are going to have to add a dimmer:)
I love the bulbs that came with it too…such a fun and funky light!
This looks awesome in gold. I'm so glad you took the plunge! Bravo to you.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this light and what you did to make it your own! I know it's about 35" in diameter, but is that WITH the edison bulbs? What is the actual diameter without the bulbs? Thanks!!!
