Yes these are the awesome fixtures that were originally in our basement, complete with LOTS of dust.

New light fixtures are so expensive these days I thought I would give the fixture a little facelift before kicking it to the curb. I scrubbed the glass and spray painted the base with Rustoleum in Oil Rubbed Bronze. It really helped wouldn't you agree but they still were not exactly what I was looking for.

And so I added a lamp shape and some jewels! LOVE!

Here is a little peak from under the lamp shade. I simply took the glass off pushed the lamp shade over the light bulbs. I did not alter the light fixture at all. I have to say in all of my refinishing this was the EASIEST fix ever.
