I was just thinking about you and this chandy the other day, hoping for a follow-up. It looks really great, I'm glad you like it. How did the wiring go? I know we were wondering how much was involved. Are you going to leave it like that or add shades? Either way it looks great! (I'm just asking because I always end up adding shades to my chandys and then I can't believe how much more I love them.)

Congrats on it working out!

Thanks Beekeeperswife! I am so loving it, I am so glad I took the chance. I can't wait til tonight when I can enjoy it with the bulbs turned on dim, with the light reflecting off the glass balls.

This light LITERALLY came in a box, piece by piece. Not one part was connected to the other lol. My DH is super at electrical work (almost became an electrician when he was younger--why didn't he $$$$$ !?!?) so it was no problem for him. The longest time spent on it was doing the balls, the hooks were almost similar to key rings to hook them on. And the directions say to do it after it's already hung!

The light is very heavy compared to what it looks like. I am so glad for the referral to Overstock. I would have spent double to get the Pottery Barn one!

I think it looks great. A few many people didn't think it would go with your furniture, but in my opinion it looks like it belongs there. The other fixture you had looks out of place. Glad you were able to get it on Overstock!

Oh! I love it! How unique and beautiful. So much better than your old one. Thanks for showing us the 'after' picture. That light makes a grand statement. :)

Very nice! I have never thought of Overstock for a chandelier. Is it a good company for one? I've been looking for a year now: everything I really like is so expensive.

So happy for you!

I think it looks great; you'll probably find yourself in the room more often!

LOVE your new chandelier! It is so unique and different. It looks fantastic in your room.

It looks beautiful and I think it is a great match for your room. Red clip on shades would link it up with the other beautiful lamps you have on the banquet. Nice upgrade to your dining room.

Your chandelier looks great!!

I've had that same chandelier for weeks and it's still in the box! I'm hanging it over the pedestal tub in the bathroom we are remodeling and they aren't ready for it yet. Seeing yours makes me think it is too big for the bathroom. But I love it over your dining table.

Congratulations! Thanks for posting an "after" pic, very happy for your!

Oh, I never thought of Overstock for a chandelier. I must say this one does look nice in the room. I was aware of the site but have never ordered. I've been looking for almost a year for one. Is it considered a good company for something like that?

Glad it worked out for you and is what you hoped it would be in your room. May you enjoy many years of good food and great company by the light of the new chandy!

Hi

Don't you just love it when new elements make your home look that much nicer. I agree with one of the posters about adding the red shades.

Kinda off topic but were you the one who changed the paint color in your kitchen to Shaker beige ( from SW Blonde ) and loved it. I just finished one coat on my kitchen and I am taking a deep breathe about liking it. So far, it's been Quincy Tan, Monroe bisque, Powell Buff.

Are you still liking the Shaker Beige? Do you see any pink or red tones.

I think that I have mixed my beiges by using yellow, pink and green and now I can't get a wall color to pull all 3 together.

Thanks for posting

Enjoy your new lighting. You'll have to do a special romantic Velentine's Day dinner for just you and your hubby.

I love it too! And it looks awesome in your room.

Delightful! This actually put a smile on my face when I saw it. I want it.

Thank you all so much!!! We had company last night and put the dimmer on about half way and the light was just beautiful. I am so happy, our guests loved it too and thought it was perfect.

I will have to keep the shades in mind; the only problem I had with them before was the circles they left on the ceiling. Our ceilings are so low that it made me crazy. I'll pick some up if I see red ones though; the worst is I would return them.

Mailynn---yes, our kitchen was Blonde and now is Shaker Beige. The front wall of our dining room is also Shaker. The front wall is our dining room, front door and living room and I needed one color for all of them. Our hallway is Shaker too so it joins it all together. No pink, no green, no tones at all no matter what time of day or night. We couldn't be happier about that either, esp. DH who is my resident painter lol.

Circles on the ceiling? Circles of light? Uh, oh. I never thought of that. I'm looking for a chandelier as well, and have been following your thread to hopefully pick up some tips. I've never been keen on the ones with clip on shades, but I like exposed glare-y bulbs even less. Some of the styles I like have exposed bulbs rather than glass shades. I thought at least the shades would focus more light down on the table, where I want it. But it looks like the open top funnels light up as well? I have 7 ft ceilings, nothing very high.
