Chandelier Possibilities

Posted in Uncategorized at 10:50 pm by laura

Well, in an effort to avoid packing boxes, I’m posting tonight. I am tired of boxes and packing and not knowing where things are–whether they are at the old house or the new. In an effort not to whine, I am going to post about something fun, like decorating!

I am trying to decide between something like this old French-looking chandelier

and something more modern, but still lovely, like this one.

or this one:

The top one is from Ebay, and the bottom two are from Ballard Designs. If you haven’t discovered their catalogue, you really should. It’s full of pretty things. I especially like their custom upholstery pieces. Not that I own any, mind you, but one can always hope. The top chandelier is totally period appropriate for my house, and it could easily be found in any number of old houses in Lynchburg. I’ve never gotten to buy my own chandelier, so I’m kind of at a loss for what style to go for. Any opinions would be welcomed. Also, I recently found out that at least some of Ballard Designs’ lights can be found online for less at several other places. My favorite is LightingUniverse.com. I ordered my powder room light from them, and I was very pleased–so pleased that I might just order another just like it for my new powder room when the time comes.

    oooh your bathroom options are making me drool! and as for lighting…I’d go with the first for more fun, old, traditional, house matching…you know? I have got no clue really, I’m sure whatever you choose will be the loveliest ever, because you rock at decorating! :) Can’t wait to see this aqua!

    I like the second one a lot! It’s very elegant. But like Kelli said, I’m sure whichever one you choose will be the best! And you’re right: the light for the powder room is very pretty!
