Painted Chandelier Sleeves
When you were perusing my holiday tablescape post did you see my fancy copper chandelier sleeves? My chandelier was looking a bit dingy with the aged yellowing sleeves. I decided to spray paint them copper for a new look.
To update chandelier sleeves, you can paint them any color you like.
Simply remove the light bulbs.
Lift the sleeves off.
Wash the sleeves off and dry them.
Then pick your favorite spray paint color and spray paint them. I used Rust-Oleum High Heat Ultra Enamel Spray – Aged Copper to paint mine.
That update was so easy, I might spray paint them again in a year. I’m thinking light blue or silver next time. What do you think?
I’m glad I discovered your website. You have so many great ideas! The candle sleeves on our chandelier are so old they are cracking. I never thought of painting them before. Thanks for the great idea. And greetings from a fellow Raleighite. 🙂
I’ve actually done this myself, what a difference these little things make. I love the copper color. I personally love the metallic looks for this the best.
Hey! I just realized…you have MY chandelier….or maybe I have yours!!! ha ha ha!!!
Love the idea for painting the sleeves!!! Gotta keep that in mind if I get tired of looking at it the way it is.
Love this! Big impact for very little effort – we all need that instant gratification once in a while!
