Looks fantastic! I am absolutely doing this in our family room - I can’t believe it never occurred to me. We are working our way through our home, updating from a generation ago. But I’ve felt bad about wasting really high-quality items just because they’re outdated. Not only will this save us money, it will make us feel better for upcycling the fan instead of just tossing it in the garbage. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Lindsey , Rob and Little Miss Camera girl ….🥰🥰 Love her narrating through the video…too cute ! LOVE THE FAN BLACK and the new globes ! Totally brought it back into style. Thank goodness for paint and globes right? Love these little short videos….keeps us in touch. Have a blessed week 💛💛💛🙏🙏🙏💛💛💛
Amazing update. It looks like an entirely new fan/light. Your ideas are so inspiring and your husband is great at helping them come into fruition. I always love seeing Selah working on her videographer skills. Stay blessed.
I'm always surprised at how much simple changes (especially paint) can transform objects. Went from being super dated to looking pretty & modern. Nice job! :)
Clever idea. I redid a light fixture in my bathroom using the same things - black spray paint to cover over antique bronze and new clear glass shades and Edison light bulbs. The fan I have to replace is just too huge for the space, but for the right sized fan this is a great option to refresh and update.
It does not even look like the same fan! I Love it! Those Edison light bulbs 💡 look amazing too. Once again, you guys have done a beautiful job. Much Love sent your way😘
@@ourdiyary Awe! You are so welcome Sweet Girl. I enjoy your videos so much. God has really Blessed you guys in every way & I Love what you're doing with your new home❤
*Another "fantastic" (pardon the unintentional pun! 🤣) budget-friendly DIY update project, Lindsey and Rob‼️🥰 And little Miss Selah is stepping up her filming, composition and narration skills - BOLDLY! Good for you, Lindsey, with your encouraging parenting style, skills and mindset to enable Selah to spread her wings and confidently learn skills far earlier than her contemporaries❣️🥰😉*
So I just painted master bedroom set yesterday and today and now was looking at the ceiling fan wondering how I could make it more updated and so I figured I'd search for it on CZcams and came across your video. So glad I found this...will definitely be painting the fan very soon
I can’t believe I doubted you wife! I thought the paint would chip off after we installed it but i was wrong! I loved how this turned out and am so glad you filmed the wires so we could put it back up right. I love you! I also want to thank Selah for tilting the camera to make it more “interesting” :)
That looks really great! I have 3 brass/wood ones that are screaming 2002 at me everytime I look at them 😬 plus all the brass tone ceiling lights. I think this is my spring project now, although I dont have your extra special helper to film it for me!😄 She is getting so grown up!!❤❤❤
What a difference a different paint color made. Beautiful. I love your junior camera person. Good job Selah! Have a great Sunday friends. Blessings - Judith 🎵🎭
II am here because I just took down and swapped out the ceiling fan in my bedroom. The difference in the quality between the old one and the new modern one became immediatly obvious to me. The old one came with the house I've lived in for 16+ years and runs just fine still. Looks almost identical to the one in this video. It also weighs about twice as much as the new one (no fun to lift). But It has a proven track record for durability. The new one seems kinda cheap by comparison but it only cost $100 and not $230 like the one in the kitchen. Even so it is black and looks modern and chic. It has a led light kit, remote control and an app. Even though its an inexpensive Chinese version of a more expensive fan you could not tell at a glance. I would leave it up but the deal breaker is that it can't be adjusted for just a soft gentle breeze. This a 52" and it moves way too much air on its lowest setting. So it has to go and what a waste of time and money. That promted me to take a hard look at the old one. It is beautfully made in antique brass . All it really needs are the fan blades to be black lacquer in order to match my bedroom set. But I was excited about the more modern feature offered on the newer one. I could lose that outdated light kit for something sleek. So I thought why dont I just paint the blades and while I am at it find a modern light kit. A remote control is not necessary but would be a cherry on top and I just so happen to have one left over from another project. Now if I can only find a way to conceal the interface inside the fan housing somehow. Yours is the first video I found. I would not dream of spraying that antique brass with paint but that is neither here nor there. Thanks for the video.
That looks so much better! Well done! It's all coming along! You have high ceilings, so black works well. I'm painting mine white to match the ceiling since we have a small room with a low ceiling. Gotta love Selah cam. 😂
if i remember correctly this is the original hunter ceiling fan well the very first low profile flush mount ceiling fan with 4 blades but there is 5 blades available though. which this one is based on hunter studio.
Lindsey, the fan looks great. Where did you find the glass globes as I'd love to get some of them too? Looks like I have a new project to do...lol. Selah has grown so much in the couple of years I've been following you. She's going to be so independent when she's older because of you. You have been such a force of nature and I have loved watching you and your family grow.
Did you have to be careful to avoid spraying the black spray paint inside of the fan and possibly harming the motor? Or is the motor sealed/protected? Secondly, Do you think this would have as favorable results with silver spray paint over a white fan and glass cut, shimmering light shades?
If you're hesitant about getting too much paint in the motor, you can tape it off. Silver over a white fan would look awesome! Good luck with your project!
I'm sorry you don't like it but fortunately, you don't have to live with it! :) We are enjoying our new fan and appreciate only spending $60 versus buying a new fan. Maybe one day we will upgrade to a whole new one!
" tilted the camera so it would look more interesting " she's awesome 🥰 wow what a difference 👏
That line had me cracking up!

Love these little short videos….keeps us in touch.
Have a blessed week 💛💛💛🙏🙏🙏💛💛💛
Glad you are enjoying the short videos! Some weeks I am down to the wire editing them. :) Hope you are doing well.
Oh i have some Hunter fans that need this
It looks amazing!!!!
Thank you Lindsey ❤️❤️👏👏👏🙌
You should give the spray paint a try!
Amazing update. It looks like an entirely new fan/light. Your ideas are so inspiring and your husband is great at helping them come into fruition. I always love seeing Selah working on her videographer skills. Stay blessed.
It has lots of new life now! Rob is a great sport when it comes to my ideas. :)
It’s amazing how a coat of paint can transform anything to look new❤️❤️
So true!
Beautiful upgrade! I’m glad you went with Edison bulbs, I was going to suggest that, but then you did it.🥰
Yes! They look so much better. :)
You and Rob did a great job by giving that fan a new lease. Gosh! Selah is getting so big. Still so sweet💖
Thank you, Alice!

Thanks so much! Paint does wonders!
Awesome job Lindsey!!!!
Thanks, Nikkie!
Great upcycle!
Thanks so much!
That’s a great idea! Thanks for sharing , Lindsay
Thanks, Gina!
@@ourdiyary you’re welcome 😉
That Hunter Low Profile looks good 👍🏻 (Hunter Low Profile is the name of the fan)
Thank you!

Thank you! Glad your DIY light project went well too!
That’s really cool! I thought of doing that but didn’t realize you could actually paint the housing.
I love the bulbs and dimmer. 💕
Thanks, Sharyn. So much better!

Hello Lindsey! The fan turned out beautifully. Well done. ❤
Thanks so much!
You have inspired me! Looks beautiful!
Wonderful!

Glad you found it! It’s worth trying before spending a few hundred dollars on a new one!
@@ourdiyary yes definitely...I cant afford a new one anyways and this one is still in very very good condition
I can’t believe I doubted you wife! I thought the paint would chip off after we installed it but i was wrong! I loved how this turned out and am so glad you filmed the wires so we could put it back up right. I love you!

"Screaming 2002" 😂 is hilarious. I hope you try out a can of spray paint on them!
Selah is so well spoken and smart! She's gottenso big!!
She's in first grade now! 😭
I love your ceiling fan makeover. Hubby seems like a good sport when he's remodeling. Cant wait to see more! I like your style very much.
He generally is. 🥰
Great job and idea😁
Thanks, Hazel!
Candelabra bulbs would look the best and they can be purchased in varying wattage so they are not too bright. Try those. Have a good day.
Thanks for the suggestion, Donna!
Beautiful light fixture...so fancy in black...
🙌🏼
Impressive! Looks great! Frugal! I love it!
Thank you!
What a difference a different paint color made. Beautiful. I love your junior camera person. Good job Selah! Have a great Sunday friends. Blessings - Judith 🎵🎭
My junior camera person is getting better!
Looks so much better.
Agreed!
That looks Amazing. 👍🏼
Thanks so much, Michelle!
It's cute the fan
Thanks!
Great job it looks like a $350 fan
That's a huge compliment!
Beautiful!
Lindsey and Rob, this is a beautiful make over. I love the glass globes, and the new bulbs are perfect with it.
Thank you so much, Peggy!
I love it! I hope my husband lets me paint ours.
And, I love the Selah cam💖
The Selah cam just gets better and better!

Love that Selah is filming!
She's getting better!
Great transformation! Welshman is becoming a talented camera person!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💝
Thank you, Julia!
If you tilt the camera, it's more interesting, lol, your camera girl is hilarious. Love the channel.
Haha! I don't know where she got that line from!
Looks great! I did both of mine in my new home 😀
Awesome! How are they holding up?
I just did them a week ago! So far so good lol!!!
Great update Lindsey👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I’ll be binging on your latest videos, for some reason I haven’t been notified. Selah is getting good with the camera 🤗🤗🥰
Oh no! Hope you have fun catching up. :)
That looks great !
Thanks, Luella!
Selah is so funny,just love the way she laughs
😁
Hunter R&M Low profile! This is probably from like 1985.
Probably! It's a quality fan.
@@ourdiyary czcams.com/video/BbA3rlV9NA4/video.html. It really is, due to it being a classic Hunter fan!
Neat!
Love this I want to try this on my fans!!
It was super easy and a great money-saver!
52” Hunter Low Profile from 1987
Good eye!
Great transformation, Lindsey! I love how Selah is learning to use the camera. Very helpful for you. ♥♥ Much love. :)
She's getting better at NOT dropping the camera! 😂
@@ourdiyary ♥♥♥
Hey Lindsey, here for the inspiration. Awesome diy project, fan looks gorgeous!
Thanks, girl! Hope you had a great weekend.
That looks so much better! Well done! It's all coming along! You have high ceilings, so black works well. I'm painting mine white to match the ceiling since we have a small room with a low ceiling.
Gotta love Selah cam. 😂
The high ceilings are nice for sure. I did think about doing ours white too!
It turned out great - can't wait to see your bedroom updates. 💓
Thank you, Jen! We are making slow but steady progress repairing the plaster walls.
@@ourdiyary I love our plaster walls and ceilings - a truly beautiful feature in older homes. It'll be worth the effort in the end.
if i remember correctly this is the original hunter ceiling fan well the very first low profile flush mount ceiling fan with 4 blades but there is 5 blades available though. which this one is based on hunter studio.
It still works SO good!
@@ourdiyary mhm
It's like Christmas when your videos appear.....
Aww, thanks so much, Adrianna!
Lindsey, the fan looks great. Where did you find the glass globes as I'd love to get some of them too? Looks like I have a new project to do...lol. Selah has grown so much in the couple of years I've been following you. She's going to be so independent when she's older because of you. You have been such a force of nature and I have loved watching you and your family grow.
We got them at Lowes; they were about $7 each. Thank you so much, Linda! I have appreciated your support and encouragement over the past few years. ❤️
Did you have to be careful to avoid spraying the black spray paint inside of the fan and possibly harming the motor? Or is the motor sealed/protected? Secondly, Do you think this would have as favorable results with silver spray paint over a white fan and glass cut, shimmering light shades?
If you're hesitant about getting too much paint in the motor, you can tape it off. Silver over a white fan would look awesome! Good luck with your project!
Can you use a dimmer switch?
It is on a dimmer switch! :)
We upgraded a lot of things with spray paint….lol
YES! 🙌🏼
Where did you purchase the light covers?
It was Lowes or Home Depot!
I’m wondering if after painting your blades if the fan wobbled?
It’s still holding up strong and we use it almost every night!
What bulbs and wattage did you use ?
They are Edison style bulbs, E26 base, 6W 4000K 120V.
Just get a new fan. The Hunter low profile is a uncommon fan(especially the brass ones)so don’t ruin it(it looks worse)
I'm sorry you don't like it but fortunately, you don't have to live with it! :) We are enjoying our new fan and appreciate only spending $60 versus buying a new fan. Maybe one day we will upgrade to a whole new one!
Looks fabulous!!!!! You’re meticulous
Thanks, Chrissy!
Beautiful!
Thank you!
