Ceiling Fan Makeover

While looking at light fixtures for my basement a few weeks back, I came across this ceiling fan.

I loved it and thought it would be adorable in My Princess’s room…until I looked at the price tag, and that certainly didn’t look so great.  Then the creative side of my brain kicked in and I realized I could use the ceiling fan I already have and make it look as cute for a little bit of nothing!!

So, first things first…I removed the ceiling fan blades and cleaned them up.  Wow, fan blades are gross…how they get that nasty is beyond me!!

I made little stencils with my cutting machine, turned them into stickers and stuck them on the blades.

Using the same paint I used to paint My Princess’s bedroom, I painted over the entire blade.

While the paint was drying I made green little flowers for the globe…just to spruce it up a bit and to tie in the green curtains in the room.

Sorry the coloring is off… basement lighting is not the greatest!

After the paint dried, I removed the stickers, put the blades back up and VOILA!!!
