Few more chandeliers

ccassaday — Wed, 23 Aug 2017 19:36:39 GMT

So my parents went to lighting yesterday. After seeing what they picked out and finish I looked at chandeliers again. Thoughts on these three. The one with crystals my mom took a picture of while at lowes today. I really like it. The finish is very close to lighting they picked out for the house.

I liked your original chandelier - you go with what you want in your room - it's your room. The crystal one pictured is also pretty - I agree.

Of the 3 I like the one with the crystals too.

IIRC your furniture was sort of an off white/beige. I would go with one of the chandeliers someone posted earlier with the linen shades. That original one you posted was beautiful---beautiful!....But your bedding would have to be amped up a bit. Like a Moraccan batik pattern. Or something in a silky solid color like fuscia or amber/orange maybe.

The furniture I want is a tan color with a gray wash. Here is a picture with the light from lowes. My only concern would be with the gray walls.

I like this one. The other two look too much like a dining area to me.

Does the light fixture match the hardware on your nightstands? Looks like it in the picture. I think this light is open & airy making it easier to enjoy the crystals. Also this light will be easier to keep clean, the linen shade on the other will collect dust. Everything looks really pretty together, good choices. The gray walls will work well too.

I am not sure what the finish on the light fixture is. But it is pretty close and the finish is very close to the lighting they picked out yesterday. Maybe it's a antique bronze just not sure. I couldn't find it on lowes website. My mom said there was a matching table and floor lamp but I think that would be to much. I would need to see it all in person.

The black wrought iron fixtures look like they ought to hang over a dining room table. They don't say "boudoir".

@ccassaday Close is good. I agree with you, if everything matches it's too much. Hope your having fun picking out everything, in my experience it can be a little overwhelming.

I will have to have them take me to lowes to look at that crystal one. I can't find it online so don't know the dimensions. It's one that can be flush mounted or on a chain. But is listed as s convertible pendant on the tag from the picture. It may be to small. Just have to see what the dimensions are. If it is to small I will probably stick with the orginal one.

I like the original one or the similar style one above with the crystals. The others are rather heavy for your furniture and decor. They are almost gothic in style, similar to a castle type heft to them. Ya'll aren't building a castle are you???

Lol. It's big but not a castle. So I think my mind is made up. I will go look at the one at lowes. Then make my decision on the two crystal ones. Right now I am leaning towards the original one unless this other one knocks my socks off. I am not sure when I will buy it. Probably when my parents get the ones for the master closet and den. They didn't pick anything out at lighting for those two areas. I just have to have it when it's time for electrician to hang lighting. Not sure when that will be.

@ccassaday I love your original light fixture as well. Definitely do something crystal and "girlie"....you deserve it! It's okay to pick a warm colored metal fixture with cool colored decor and vice versa...visually interesting.

....I just looked at the first fixture...omg go with it! It mimics your animal prints.....love the Moroccan feel of it too!

Love the crystal chandelier, furniture, art but I just can't wrap my head around the bedding. I like the green, just not a fan of those wide stripes. If you love it, that's all that really counts.

@ccassaday I will say the first one will probably be less light because it is more covered versus the openness of the iron and crystal, which would give off more light. How much light do you want in your room? How much do you use the overhead light? I use more lamps than anything, so the chandelier would be for more looks than use.

I will also have table lamps on the nightstands.

Depending on where you want the chandelier to go. Too bulky looking for me. I like the chandeliers with the narrow candle look.
