In addition to hand-building copper and iron chandeliers, Bevolo also sells some vintage/new lighting pieces. We also offer a complementary design service and can scale out the proper size fixtures for your rooms, based on your building plans/ceiling heights/island dimensions. Let us know if we can help you at all. Happy decorating! -Lindsey @ Bevolo

I’ve done well with lightingdirect.com, associated with build.com. Some nice filters will help you sort through options. But I also learned not to dismiss local, independently-owned lighting stores. I was having trouble selecting a dining room chandelier until I walked into a store and found the one. They knew it wasn’t within the budget but said “let’s see how close can come. They came down $300, close enough to justify a splurge. I checked on-line out of curiosity, and everywhere was higher.

Absolutely, why not? The trend is now in mixing materials.

Ok so I read this last night in bed on my phone with my tired blurry eyes and I thought why does Flo want me to put a brass gravy boat on my coffee table? Then figured out it’s a bird! I like these ideas and will use them. So I’m only using the taller vase right? The vase is 11.81” tall and the MC candlestick with its candle is 13” tall. Enough of a difference? I also found this tray on Etsy. I like the octagon shape a lot. And she will customize it whatever dimension you want. So I’d probably order the other items, place them together and see what kind of width for the tray I need. This comes in black too. @flo mangan Oh the vase will look taller with the branches! (Hope my cats don’t eat them!)
