Another choice, first one was 45" wide.

This one is 41"

Finally, this is around 41 or maybe a little more.

Disclaimer...I'm not a chandy person, and not knowing what the room looks like where this will live, I love #3 the best. I like the solidness and clean lines. The other two seem more airy, though, if that's the look you're going for.

It's hard to give opinions w/o seeing the room.

They all seem a bit frilly in the context of the exterior (?)

True Tib. I need to get a mood board together.

Pal, the exterior really isn't looking modern. I'd say just more casual but clean lines.

This might sound harsh, so I apologize if it does, but I think esp. the first two seem "Addams Family" and the third is missing something. Can't really say what but it's missing a certain authenticity. I know that's not helpful, and it's just my opinion, of course.

I have to agree with Pal, they seem kind of frilly for a home that is casual with clean lines. How about something like this:

You might think this is too simple but I think apropos for the Tx Hill Country:

How about this one?

Do you have an inspiration pic of the room the chandelier will go in?

This one is kind of frilly too, but I like that you can see the wood grain:

Here is my last house and would say it defines my style pretty well. Subtract the window treatments as our windows in our new build likely will be bare.

Also I'm attaching a photo of what our ceiling will resemble minus the skylights. Hope this helps!

I just love this chandelier. Not sure if it is comes in the exact size you need.
{{gwi:2138915}}

The ceiling. Our pitch is not as steep.

I actually have what I think might be a smaller version of your second chandelier (Quorum Salento? Or is it the Motivo - I pined for that one too!) in my small breakfast room; it's a ridiculous thing and violates every rule of décor, but I loved it and it's one of the parts of my small kitchen renovation that I'm most happy with.

Fwiw, because it's such a light color (mine is the Persian white; I think it comes in an umber color too), and because it's so spindly, it doesn't take up as much visual space as the size might indicate. Which is a bonus for my cramped quarters - YMMV especially if you want more oomph or presence.

I really like the chandeliers we've posted here but I also like the multi-tiered ones on your other thread. It just depends what vibe you're going for; I actually thought the Salento was kind of French country-ish, whereas the others might be a touch more formal and transitional in style. They all are great - I envy your vaulted ceilings which give you so many beautiful options!

I have no good pictures of my smaller version but here's a shot from the other end of the kitchen that reinforces how minimalist it feels in a small room. The one thing that helped me when I was trying to decide was using an application on my Ipad that let me upload photos and "photoshop" items from various catalogues - it's called Snap Shop and they have photos from Horchow, CB2, and a few other places. The mock-up wound up looking very close to the real thing, and it helped me rule out other (more "practical") options as well.

You can barely see this one but is looks nice.{{gwi:2138916}}

Thanks everyone!

Small, I ADORE your kitchen and eating area. Love your taste. It looks fantastic!

I think the lighter finishes you're looking at will disappear against the wood in your ceiling, I'd definitely look at bronze or iron finishes. Also the curly, drippy crystal look seems to be at odds with simple and clean lined. I love the 2nd one magdalenalee posted. Or what about something like this?

Amy, the ones you posted seem flimsy because of the serious curves and thin metal. If you like the swirls and want metal, perhaps something with a little more heft to it, like this one? JMHO.

This is an interesting one. 44" x 44". Has the elegance of simplicity but the bling too. Notice the glass beads along each arm.

I really, really like the one Jackson posted-- I think it would be perfect. It's a little bit like the ones you posted, with a little more substance and cleaner lines. I think it would look great with your wood ceilings.

Magdalena, thank you so much for posting all of those chandeliers. They are all lovely.

Jackson, that is a nice one.

Lovestowalk, that light looks very clean and simple. Might be a contender.

Nuts, when I click the link I just get to a page full of lights.

Tib, that chandelier is gorgeous, I would consider it but its is over double my budget. Darn!

Maybe I just need to wait on this item until all is in place and I know exactly what the room looks like and how it feels. It is hard to say when you are not in a space and feeling its vibe. I have already purchased lighting for the rest of the house. But, this room is different.

Thanks again everyone for your thoughts! If nothing else you kept me from buying the wrong thing!!

I think that's a very good idea, AK. As far as the Oslo chandy, if you truly do love itâ¦I think it has every element you seem to be going for: awe (definitely a conversation piece people will notice), stately, elegant, traditional and contemporary mix, blingâ¦start saving for the other half of the cost if you're going to wait anyway, and keep in mind that money is a renewable resource, hopefully.

I see the sparkle from light bouncing off those glass beadsâ¦I bet that chandy is stunning at night.

AK, I love the first one Magdalena Lee posted yesterday at 19:09. To me it gives off the right feeling of clean lines and simplicity your room needs. Some of the others are a bit too feminine and busy IMO. But I also would vote for waiting until more of the room is built out before committing to anything.

The Oslo chandy is stunning, and Tibb is right, it would be beautiful at night with other light reflecting off it, but understand the price!

outside, that is a truly hefty price, isn't it? A shame. But the uniqueness of it, one-of-a-kind thing it's got going on could make the price worthwhile, IMO, IF one has the money. I think items that one expects to have for years and which are basic to a house are worth spending money on. The rest, go to CL and Ikea. Lol.

I do think the Oslo is a chandy that is going to command a lot of attention. There's something about itâ¦and I suspect that is the reason for the price.

Darn you Tib! ;). Now I want the expensive chandelier!!! Lol

If it's the one, then I will work on making it happen.

I know. Sorry. I want it now too. I think it's almost the perfect chandelier.

Here it is for $330 less

I just found a photo of it hanging. I'm thinking it might be too dressy for my room. It is beautiful beyond words though!!!

geez, one reason I like it is because it's less dressy than the others.

Lol.

Onward and upward!

Something more rustic?

Or this?

With the lights on, that Oslo chandy looks to have octopus arms. Amazing!!

Two-tier

I was going to say I see an octopus too! With tentacles no less! Now you can save yourself $$$.

I'm still confused as to what that room needs. I should know in a month when all is done. Fingers crossed it's a month!

Well, it's safe to assume it won't need an octopus hanging from the ceiling, so that's a good thing!

I love Tib's "something more rustic."

On the tentacle light, are all those little "suckers" individual lights, or just little bumps that the light flows through?

For the price, they must be individual.

You know, they lit up the arms on the Octopus at the carnival....

I like the Seagull 48 inch one posted at 1918

Just throwing this out there. I don't know what other lighting fixtures you have chosen, but you may want the same flow between them. Are they clean lined like your aesthetic? Here is a 43 1/2 inch wide Hubbardton Forge chandelier that seems interesting and different. The candles are simple and the metal comes in a choice of finishes. It also has matching sconces with one or two candles. Sorry, I pasted the sconce atop part of the chandy. Not cheap, but I would save up to get something unique that not everyone and his brother has, IYKWIM.

This is a photo of the three pendants that will be hanging over the 12 foot island. They are bigger than they look in the photo.

The chandelier for the dining room.

The entry light.

This one is up for debate. However, it really is beautiful. I might refinish it to make it more bronze.

{{gwi:2138919}}

I have added a link to t
My kitchen inspiration pic is attached. I am using white cabs and a stained island. However, the layout and ceiling will be the same. There will be no fireplace, just a wall of windows.

So, thoughts?

Does the entry light come in finishes other than chrome?

No Tib. It was super affordable and would be easy to paint. What color should I paint it?

An aged bronze, maybe?

Btw, I really like the idea of a fairly contemporary (but with traditional features) light mixed in there. I think it'll look great.

Thanks Tib!!
