Updating the sad porch light out front. The thing was beat to smithereens during a record breaking hail storm last April.
Well. That … and it was just plain ugly to begin with.

Total cost: About a dollar. Booyah.
And here is the front porch ceiling light before …

SHAZAAM!!! Now, I realize this light is way up high and probably no one but me ever looks at it … but I sleep all warm and fuzzy at night knowing it was taken care of. ;)
And that, my friends, is how you save yourself a quick hundred bucks on front porch lighting. Man. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Rustoleum.
Saving the world. One ugly porch light at a time.
Booyah! That 1 dollar transformation is very impressive! Your outdoor porch is now more beautiful than ever.

Love it!! I have those exact light and you inspired me to fix mine. They look brand new. I had one that has wonky, twisted with broken glass panels after Hurricane Ike. (yes, it's been awhile.) I was able to find a very similar one at the Habitat for Humanity Restore and use it for parts. It is a great place to fix up items.
