Although I don't have the before picture for this project, this used to be a very old chipped white ceiling fan. Instead of purchasing a new one, we decided to do the frugal thing and spray paint the old one. The new colors are more in keeping with our decor.
The base and brackets of the fan were painted using a Rust-Oleum Satin Black spray paint. On the blades we used Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch Satin in Espresso. We purchased the crystal pull at Home Depot. With a little work, the cost of the "new" fan was under $20.

Here's the "before" picture from a second ceiling fan paint project. This fan had been in storage for many years but with a little spray paint it looks great in a preteen girl's bedroom.
The fan coordinates beautifully with the pink and brown decor of the bedroom. What a transformation!
