This brass chandelier was painted by Annie Sloan to create a statement and brighten up a minimal white room.

Annie painted the chandelier using a Chalk Paint® Brush with Chalk Paint® in Florence, a coppery green that subtly contrasts with the warm hue of brass. Whilst the paint was still wet, she took a damp cloth to the ornate and raised sections of the light fixture, wiping away the paint to reveal the brass beneath. She then finished it off with Clear Chalk Paint Wax.

A full step by step guide to this chandelier up-cycle is in Annie’s book Annie Sloan Paints Everything.
