Ceiling Fan Make Over


 Sometimes I am really dumb.  I totally did not take a before pic.  But, for those of you that had stared at the atrocity that was our ceiling fan (in the dining room), then you know just how brassy bad it was.  One of our projects was to take it all apart, clean it, paint it, and put it back together and up. 

 Jeremy came up with this clever little idea for the screws and door knobs.  Umm, yes, we did a few door knobs too.  Now, they feel different but, look way better....even if they do kinda disappear into our black doors now, lol!
Hidden door knobs to trick people with.

 A before of the knobs.  My brain had popped on by then and I remembered a before pic of the knobs.  Thanks, brain.

 What we used.

 It was very windy so Jeremy made me a box to spray in.  What  great guy. 




 These were all the same goldy brass as the door knobs. Really ugly.  Also, the light fixture cover things were blindingly ugly too so we bought some new covers as well.  Only for some reason we only bought two so we had to make a quick trip to Menard's. 
 .....and Steak n' Shake!!

The finished product!!! Not quite as awe-inspiring as if there were a BEFORE pic to compare it to, huh?!  Oh well.
