chandelier makeover

I decided I wanted to modernize a few chandeliers.
I took some of my old chandeliers that were the old brass and I painted them some different colors and added some glaze to them.  I used some of my crystals that I purchased recently.  Hubby rewired them. This one went from  an ugly duckling to a beautiful swan!
Here is a before and after picture for you.  I like their new look.  What do you think?
I just noticed this one is missing a bulb in the front!  lol!  its still pretty!

    I would not have noticed the missing bulb till you pointed it out! It is very pretty with the new look! I loved that you had chandeliers hanging throughout your barn when I was there...I LOVE EM!

    I love the chandelier makeover.

    I have one I painted white that hangs in my kitchen

    And it does pay off to pick up crystals or prisms when you find them never know when an old beautiful chandelier needs them
