Oil rubbed bronze paint is amazing!  I know this is old news but I have been collecting some ugly gold things that I have purchased at Goodwill.

Not only do I love ORB – I love coat trees.  I don’t have a lot of room by our front door but I knew I would find some place for this.  It was $10 and sold brass, heavy and good quality.  As you can see it’s beat up and really tarnished. 

This lamp was $3.99 and didn’t come with a shade which was fine by me…they tend to have a smell.  Fabric items I like to purchase new unless I can wash it.  What I love is the arm on it.  I saw a floor lamp too and I should have gotten it.  Shoot!

I did prime the coat tree but not the lamp.  The lamp hardly took any paint but the coat tree took a whole spray can.  There are so many curves and details.

Here is what they look like now.  Aren’t they beautiful!  I used a shade I had on a lamp I wasn’t using anymore and put it on the girls play table.  The coat tree actually ended up in my daughter’s room and it’s perfect for hanging her girly stuff.

Coat trees aren’t just for coats right?

I have a few more things that I am going to turn from gold to beautiful.  Give it a try it’s amazing stuff!

Here is a picture of the paint I used.  Thanks Judy for asking.

Look at what we are working on!  You will never believe what we turned this into.
