Reader DIY: Finders Keepers
Are you on Instagram? It’s an addiction for me. I love sharing photos, they tell so much! You know, the whole 1000 word saying. I was so excited when my cousin Kat tagged me in one of her pics. I wanted to share some of her handy-work that was inspired by my diy chandelier makeover post here.
She started out with a brass chandelier that she found on her street. Gotta love a free score! $15 later with a can of spray paint and some ultra chic round bulbs she gave her dining room a new look! 
She and her hubs are in an apartment and sometimes (now this is me speaking from my own experience) you want to put your own mark on your place but don’t want to sink money into things you can’t take with you. So I’m loving this fix. It’s resourceful and personal, it really allows them make a quasi temporary home more their own. Fabulous job Kat! Thanks so much for sharing!

Love the round bulbs and the black paint looks great, I kind of am obsessed with brass too right now though! Great DIY.
I’m totally brass obsessed too right now
I do love black chandeliers though, so much drama.
I love a great lamp/chandelier revamp for cheap! Thanks for sharing.
They’re hard not to love! For me there’s nothing better than change
I love the round bulbs, she did an awesome job!
