Recently, family members gave us a chandelier that had been sitting in the back of their attic. It was gathering dust and they knew I would find a place for it. Needless to say, I was happy with my new acquisition.<\/span><\/p>\n When I saw it, I knew where to install it. It would fit perfectly in our new, freshly furnished rustic-style dining room.<\/span><\/p>\n The more I looked at it, the more something bugged me. Although the dining room furniture was large, I found the chandelier to be very heavy for our decor. So I decided to refinish it in order to soften it with Colorantic products.<\/span><\/p>\n As you read on, you will find all the steps necessary for this project.<\/span><\/p>\n Happy reading !<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Produits utilis\u00e9s” _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”20px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Development” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”6px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”\u00c9tapes” _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” text_orientation=”justified” custom_padding=”49px||2px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n First, I removed the five glass shades and proceeded to clean them with the C<\/a><\/span>leaner and Varnish\u00a0 remover<\/a>. I sprayed and left it on for 30 minutes to erase all traces of dirt accumulated over time. Using hot water and a cloth, I rinsed well twice to remove all residue.<\/span><\/p>\n Once this step was completed, I applied a coat of oil-based primer<\/a> to ensure good adhesion of the paint to the surface. Applying oil primer is recommended when the old varnish is oil-based and the new chalk paint is water-based. This makes it possible to make the transition between the two products and extend the lifespan.<\/span><\/p>\n Colorantic chalk paint is creamy and opaque and only one coat of Cotton Ball<\/a> was needed for me to achieve the desired result.<\/span><\/p>\n I really liked the effect of seeing a little of the original color in certain places, because it already gave it the rustic style that I was looking for. In order to accentuate the desired old-fashioned effect, randomly, I sanded lightly in a few places. Already it is fitting in much better with the rustic style of the dining room.<\/span><\/p>\n Using a damp cloth, I carefully removed the dust caused by sanding so that it was clean before applying the final touch. For the duration of the work, the chandelier was suspended, so that I could easily have access to it.<\/span><\/p>\n Then to conclude this transformation, I chose a contactless finish, in order to avoid drips given that there are a lot of details. I chose to use a satin spray varnish.<\/span><\/p>\n Finally, here is a chandelier which, in a few simple steps, took on a whole new look and was able to magnificently take the place intended for it!<\/span><\/p>\n By visiting garage sales or flea markets, it is possible to find magnificent lighting fixtures that are just waiting for a touch of paint to come back to life again.<\/span> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Project completed” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-43px|134px||auto||” custom_padding=”17px||61px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Infos de la blogeuse” _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” custom_padding=”20px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Lisa-Marie Pouliot<\/strong><\/p>\n Bois de Lilas<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/h2>\n
