Freshing Up

My dtrs gave me this brass set 
for Christmas one year
It has been looking shabby 
and not fitting into the room

So I decided to freshen it up


Now.......


The magic of Oil Rubbed Bronze
I know the photos look like pewter
Thanks Sue from

  1. I like the pewter look but feel sad for the brass. Kind of like painting oak woodwork.

  6. What an amazing difference! I like it! I do not know if I would have had the courage to paint the brass. I have a few brass pieces that I have been thinking about painting white but have been hesitant. Now, after seeing yours, I may just go ahead and do it.

  12. See, I told you this paint was amazing!! Your set looks great and so refreshed.Why are so many people afraid of painting brass? It's not as if it's a precious metal or anything? LOL You've been a busy gal taking all those gorgeous pictures at the conservatory.
    Stay cool! hugs, Sue
