Your going to PAINT BRASS ????????

A hugh find today while at an Estate sale with Mr. Wonderful....Actually there were quite a few but this is as far as I've gotten in the sharing dept....I started painting and then remembered to shoot it for the "Before" photos....

When I mentioned I would be painting it ...You could hear her suck in air and hesitate a moment before she said "Really?" Ha! Ha!

Beautiful detail...



I just finished two coats, ( by hand) No spray paint on this one., and need to do one more. There is a rod that can be added for a Shade or You can use it the way I'm going to with 4 white low wattage bulbs for a soft evening light. Hopefully I can share tomorrow evening when I return from a Day with the Grands...HAPPY SATURDAY!!! my friends....Hope you experience a great summer day...sigh....xoxo~Kathy~

    It's gorgeous! I'm glad you've got more nerve with paint than I do. I need to get some spunk in the paint department.
