The brown kitchen chandelier needed to be lighten with the three smaller kitchen ceiling lights posted below. I painted all the lights one coat with "Creamy" by Sherwin Williams. Mixed a small amount of light tan paint with latex glaze...painted on and rubbed off with a cotton rag. As I was rubbing off the glaze some of the Creamy paint came off showing some of the brown finish. I liked the brown showing through plus I sanded off some more to distress the lights. When I placed the candle covers over the lights they were too dark so I glazed and rubbed them too. I really like the brighter look to the kitchen. If I want them brown again all I have to do is paint again. I love to paint.
