{SweetTalk Shop} DIY Ceiling Light Update

I don't usually have more than one post a day.
But I've been inspired by all the great DIY home improvement blog posts and pictures you see on Pinterest. I've been looking around my home seeing what I can do on a very limited budget.
Well today I tackled a very simple project that I' just thrilled with the results and can not wait until tomorrow when I can do more of the fixtures in my home.

This is what I am talking about.


This is so early 90's looking.  These lights hug our ceilings all over our home.


I bought one can of flat black paint and Ab-ra-ka-dab-ra!
I have this beautiful light hugging my ceiling in my Master Bath.
I started there in case it was a fail. No one would be the wiser but me and Mr. B.


I have to say I am thrilled and don't you think it's pretty!!??
Oh and this cost me a total of $3.06 for a can of paint, but then I will have to divid that by how many I get done with the can tomorrow. YAY!!!
