We just moved into a new to us 2001 house and we need a dining room chandelier. There are so many choices out there. Does anyone have chandelier suggestions?

Our Style: Transitional I think. I like to mix traditional elements with some more contemporary items. Prefer silver-toned metals. Not too fussy.

Here are a few more details about the room and how we plan to use it.

House Style: The house seems to be fairly transitional in styling. It has a lot of traditional elements like whit trim and crown molding, the detailed trim in this dining room, etc. Yet the cabinetry is knotty alder with very light stain or maybe just clear coat. All light fixtures are silver-toned.

Location: At the front of the house, directly adjacent to our two-story front entry.

Purpose: Social meals with friends and close family. Holiday gatherings.

Size: 11ft x 12ft x 9ft ceilings

Furnishings: Kindel mahogany dining room table. West Elm upholstered chairs in charcoal gray with dark stained legs. Light warm grayish carpet with speckles of gray and brown.

The entry has this chandelier which we will not be replacing for now (due to cost). It's not exactly our taste, but it fits the space and looks nice.

Budget: Ideally around $600 but could stretch to $1000 for the right fixture.

Thanks in advance for your help!
