Vintage Fan Makeover

Hey Y’all!

I hope you guys are having a great week!

I just wanted to drop in today to share a quick & easy makeover I did yesterday….

Antique Fan Makeover with Spray Paint

I have been wanting an old vintage fan for a while now. I don’t know what it is about them, but aren’t they the cutest?! I just love their shape & they have so much character!

I dreamed of creating a little vignette in my home where I could display a vintage fan…..
Yes, I. AM. PATHETIC!

Needless to say, I was ecstatic when I had this old fan given to me a few months back.

It didn’t work, but I really didn’t care! I mainly wanted it for decorative purposes only. So, I cut the old cord off the back of it & cleaned it up a bit. It was just a little dirty!

After it was all clean, I crushed on this little fan just a little bit more….

The original colors were great, but I knew they wouldn’t work in my home. I was really wanting to incorporate the fan in my master bedroom (which is currently in makeover mode.) So, I knew I was going to have to give it a litte update to make it work!
I wanted to pull out some of the darker colors in the aqua throw pillow I have laying on my bed….

So, I grabbed my favorite spray paint……Rust-Oleum’s Oil Rubbed Bronze.  I’ve used this spray paint on a few other projects & always LOVE the finish! You can check those projects out HERE and HERE.

After three coats, I had a “new” old fan! 🙂

I decided to throw together a little vignette for the purpose of this post. I working on styling this little dresser in my bedroom & I’m not sure if I’m completely happy with the way it looks, but to reveal my little fan, I thought it worked just fine.

I’m sure I’ll make a few changes to this dresser before the big master bedroom reveal….that’s just what I do! I’m always tweaking things until I get them exactly the way I want them. Sometimes it happens over the course of a couple days, sometimes it takes me a couple weeks!

So, that’s it! My “new” old vintage fan….
