Fixing Up an Old Chandelier

I need help from you, my crafty friends. I saw this vintage chandelier hanging in a friend's kitchen eating area when they first moved in and said, "when you replace this light, I'll take it". So a year later or so, I got a message; "it's yours if you want it, come and get it". I did. It's not as shiny gold as the picture and shows lots of age. It needs an overhaul. I'm not sure if I want to put it in my closet, my dining room, or my back porch. So, my question to you is should I paint it gold, bronze, silver or what?

It's been a long time that I've blogged. I often feel that I have nothing to write that anyone would want to read. I think I'll start again in little, short entries. That may make it a bit easier for all of us.
Let's start, ok? I have had this bracelet that I made, but not completed, just sitting in a drawer for about 2 years. Once I made the bracelet, I couldn't decide on how to make the closure. These beads are triangle, so I could't have made a button from them very easily. A few weeks ago, I visited my local notions store and there it was, the perfect button. Now that was a few weeks ago that I brought it home. There was one thing missing: motivation. Ah, but yesterday I found that too and now you see the long awaited bracelet/cuff made from triangular metallic toho beads, Swarovski crystals, and a metal button. Just for me. I feel accomplished.
