See below for transformations<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BEFORE: Fairly standard gold 6 light fixture. I removed it from the ceiling (after turning the electricity off) and roughed up the metal using a coarse sand paper. Using the green paint tape, I taped off the electrical sockets so that paint would not go inside. I then spray painted the fixture using a matte spray paint for metals<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/kdadesigns.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/P10134871.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"http:\/\/kdadesigns.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/P10134871-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA\" class=\"wp-image-890\" srcset=\"http:\/\/kdadesigns.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/P10134871-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/kdadesigns.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/P10134871-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/kdadesigns.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/P10134881.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"http:\/\/kdadesigns.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/P10134881-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA\" class=\"wp-image-891\" srcset=\"http:\/\/kdadesigns.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/P10134881-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/kdadesigns.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/P10134881-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As this was drying (overnight) I went into my yard and cut off about 15 lean, twisted willow branches. I stripped all the leaves and laid them out on newspaper and sprayed them using the matte spray paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once everything had dried, I weaved the now white willow branches into the light fixtures to create somewhat of a nest.
