Keeping in mind what I posted yesterday with my bedding and pictures. Which lamp would I choose. Keeping in mind my throw pillows for the bed are creamy ivory.

Second if I choose a chandelier. I Ike these. Do I go with something fancy like the crystal one or do I go with the carriage house one.IMG_2676.JPGIMG_2677.JPGr

@ccassaday  They are all nice.  I think I would choose  the last chandellier and the first lamp for myself.

I like the last chandelier also. It's from pier1 and under $200. It's another of those that's the one. Ha ha. I will have to talk to my dad and see if he cares if I do a chandelier instead of a ceiling fan.  It doesn't matter which one I don't think. 

 

Woops. Do you mean the last crystal chandelier or the last carriage house one in my first post?

I don't get chandeliers in the bedroom. Unless one lives in a castle, they simply look overbearing and out of place. I like the lamp with the cream colored base best, of those you posted. I think it is nice and neutral and will still be useful elsewhere, or if you change up your bedroom decor later.

I really like the first bed side table lamp and not sure about the chandelier.

@ccassaday I meant the last chandelier.   The little darker of the two.

I like both lamps and don't think you could go wrong with either one.  I think the 2nd chandelier looks more like something for a foyer.  I like it a lot but am not sure if it would be right in a bedroom.  I would buy several homes magazines and look through them at the bedrooms.  I took my ceiling fan down in my bedroom many years ago and put in a chandelier.  I love it.  You need to be careful of the size of the chandelier for a bedroom.  It should be considerably smaller than what you'd put somewhere else in the house.

I absolutely love both of the chandaliers you posted in the second set of chandaliers (the floral ones).  I would go for the chrystal lamp for myself, but that is my taste.  Both of the lamps are good.  I once thought it would be fun choosing decor, paint, furnishings but when we built a new house and I got to decorate and furnish the whole thing choosing paint, floor coverings, furnishings, etc. it soon became a real chore!  Thank goodness you have a good bit of time to work on it.

I agree about the one looking like a floyer chandelier. My bedroom is 13 by 14'7. It's good size. I read something that if you add the two dimensions together that would be the diameter of the chandelier you would want. I don't know how true they is. The bigger one with the floral is 24 inches. So If you add my room dimensions that's  27. So if what I read is correct it would be perfect.
