Few more chandeliers

[ Edited ]

IMG_3045.JPGSo 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.
