Kitchen spotlight update....

give a girl some spray-paint....

Remember my post here about choosing the right ceiling spotlight for my new look kitchen??

I had my heart set on some industrial style ones!

In the end I didn't go for any of them...

....because I found these from B&Q at a bargain £35!!

They had that right look with an industrial feel....

....OK, so they didn't have the right finish: That brass look wasn't quite what I'd had in mind!!

But then I remembered my own advice in my post decor and furniture on budget : "a quick makeover with some spray paint can change the look of a bargain buy to fit with your decor!!"

This instantly sprung to mind...

DOH!!

So I decided to take my own advice and set off to acquire my bargain kitchen spotlights!

MAKEOVER TIME!!

As I am going for shots of black and copper in my new look kitchen (See my full reveal on Saturday)

I set to work , armed with spray-cans, in the said colors:

I masked off the outside of the lights...

And sprayed the inside of the shades copper..

...when the copper had dried, I masked off the inside of the shades, removed the previous coverage on the outside and spray-painted the light fitting matte black!

And, voila: The transformation was complete!!

The perfect ceiling spotlights for my new look kitchen!!

I have used spray paint a lot in my kitchen makeover to tie in the details....

...never underestimate the power of spray paint: It really can transform the look of just about anything!!

Get ready for the Full reveal on Saturday!!
