From old brass to old iron!

So I have wanted to recycle a brass chandelier and use it in the back patio for the longest time.  I love the look and was going to use our old one, but it got tossed before I could!  So I was real happy when this one came my way. Plus it was FREE!!!  It had lights going up and down, so took awhile to take out the electrical inards, but finally I got it.

And here is what she looked like before I transformed her.

Here is the after.  I reworked some of the pieces parts to make it what I wanted!

The weather here has not been cooperating, so it took me awhile to get her done!  I found some Rustoleum textured spray paint on clearance at JoAnn's for .97.  Old Iron is the color.  Gotta love those red tags!  I think textured spray paint takes a few more coats for coverage.  So after a few days, and a little rain delay, here she is!

I love how she turned out.  I found these cute little candle cups at the .99 store.  They were 2/.99.  They fit perfectly. And tealights fit exactly!

The chunkiness of them reminds me of an old insulator.  As you can see I haven't hung her yet, cause I want to use a pulley system so she can be raised and lowered over the table.  Waiting for the weekend so DH can help me with that, but I do have the supplies.

 So hopefully she will be in her new home soon.  Here is a few more pics.

I think I may look for some beads or crystals to hang from her as well.  The total cost, was for the rope, hardware to hang her, 2 cans of paint for .97 and 1 additional can at full price, and the candle cups. 
So about $15.00.  Can't wait to get her up and have dinner on the patio.

Hope you like her.
