I spent about 2 hours this morning cleaning up this solid brass and copper outdoor light fixture. Last year our hotel was renovated and these are the original fixtures we had outside 27 years ago. Yes, I had to clean 27 years of tarnish and grime off this baby, but just look how beautiful it turned out! There are glass inserts for each side, which are not in the picture and another piece that goes on the top that I have not yet cleaned. It will replace a smaller nondescript fixture on the deck. I can sit and admire my handiwork every summer morning while I drink my coffee. Can you tell I REALLY like this light?

Gorgeous! Good cleaning job-it looks like new!
ReplyDeleteWow I can't believe you were able to get that looking so good. I probably wouldn't have even attempted it and look what I would have missed out on.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dianne.
ReplyDeleteKerry, I almost gave up after the first 20 minutes with little progress. I developed some arm muscles with this project. It took a lot of elbow grease!
That looks awesome! Will you have to clean it regularly to keep it so nice?
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome light lucky you. What a great job you did as well.
