The farmhouse light above my table began its life as a Home Depot cheap-o special.

I married a $25.00 stainless steel utility light with the pole from a ceiling fan.

You can read about where it originated in this post.

After living with it for a while, I decided it was a little too stainless steel-y and a little too shiny for me.

So I painted it.

Here it is still just a little bit wet because I can never wait for anything to dry before I take the pictures.

I used Rust-oleum Ultra Cover Metallic in Oil Rubbed Bronze.


It comes in spray paint as well but I couldn't use the spray because the light was attached to the ceiling and I didn't want to cover the whole area in plastic.


Here it is dry and finished and oh so much better than the light color!

I love the results and don't think I'm not looking around for what else I can paint oil rubbed bronze... the paint is great!


They look much older and vintage than they did before!


And bonus... it now matches my Instant Pendant Lights
