Need second opinions/help with light selection
Comments (1)My taste is different than your taste. The fixtures you picked are beautiful, but my taste in your environment would lead me to a similiar but simpler style. Least amount of bulk, the better. But not so simple that is looks cheap. Exquiste details, fine craftsmenship is good but bulk might overstate. Even Lowes has solutions I would take. Your choices are great and if they please you and your family, go for it. You will be looking at the fixtures for the next x years and they need to make you happy. No one else really matters.(Except if you try to sell your house.) For a sellable opinion, I once asked a realtor to tell me what fixture would help me sell the house. She had some good ideas....See MoreHelp me select a chandelier and pendant(s)
Comments (17)I think that is the best combination (the Lourdes and the Eldridge pendants). I do like the one with the shades as I first chose but it may be a little too contemporary for the space and table and I didn't like it with the pendants. The Lourdes and the Eldridge pendants seem to compliment each other without being too match-y and will look great in your pretty home....See MoreDining room chandelier selection, please help!
Comments (43)I just want to thank Tibbrix for the this-very-minute removal of the shades from my dining room chandelier. Quite the revelation!!! I've had it for 12 years and, despite shimming them with tiny pieces of folded paper, the shades always managed to look like they were drunk. Removing them has given it a whole new look. I don't care if no shades will create a glare or not, but it's on a dimmer so I should be okay. The look is so much cleaner and less fussy. Why didn't I do this years ago? I guess I thought the shades were required. Thanks Tib!!...See MoreHelp me Select a Chandelier....Vote for your Favorite.
Comments (32)The bones of your home are not contemporary, industrial, or rustic. Are you mainly concerned with what works for your home or what a dozen people in a design forum like? It seems most of the objection to the orb is that people who look at design a lot are tired of the orb. All the lighting companies put out basically the same thing. So the second choice is a shape no one has seen before and that's exciting for some. I also find the shape unusual and interesting. But let's really look at it as a light. Shape--your basic basketball hoop. Is the netting cording or metal? That would make a big difference to me. Cording looks cheap. My least favorite aspect of this light is the bulb sockets. It really does look like Christmas lights, the old ones with the screw-in bulb. It will look all sparkly like a night sky when lit, but that's kind of a dorm room/little girl's room vibe imo. So there's about 44 lights. You have to buy them through the company. $88 for lights. Replacing them when they all burn out one after the other as chandelier lights are wont to do. Have you been to a large lighting store yet? Go pick out all the home's lighting with assistance so you don't end up with a Frankenstein home, where different parts are put together with no relationship to each other....See Moresunarakaa
