haha, i get it. you guys don't like our tile. but it's done. we ordered it. and it's scheduled to be installed. the good news is we still love it! the mfr photos are much higher contrast than in real life. they're softer pale grays, beige, and aqua with the occasional darker gray pebble. everything listed as "a done deal" in my original post is truly a done deal. we've got a very good working arrangement with our builder. we don't flake out and change our mind and he keeps rocking and rolling to get us in. oh i should have referenced marji! sorry about that! the arteriors duke is a STUNNER!! sadly, this is my last light fixture to buy and i've already gone WAY WAY over budget, so i'm trying to stay frugal. i think most of them are going to come with the beads needing to be attached, but the first big pic is from world market. it's 24" wide and 36" tall and is only $269 (plus delivery surcharge). the petite one is murray feiss charlotte 3 light chandelier, and that too comes with the strands not attached. that one is only 18.5" wide and 20" tall ($179). not as glam as yours, but for the price, i'll gladly take the poor man's version. :)

Thank you for the encouragement! And I appreciate that you think I have a well designed room to go with the new bowl. But sadly, that is sooo not the case. I’m redoing the room, and so far I’d like to figure out how to use my grandmothers dressers, I have new curtains, new chairs and my pretty bowl. Any ideas what to accompany it would be appreciated!

I like the fact that it's variable speed and reasonably price but can also go with a better known brand like goodman as well. This will be professionally installed so the DIY aspect is secondary
