Chandelier love

Wednesday, November 3, 2010

I got a new camera and I'm working on learning how to use it so I apologize if the pictures are a bit ..... lousy.  I realized after all this I forgot to take a picture of my kitchen floor so I will for next time.  My sweet nephew came and devoted an entire Saturday to laying the floor in the kitchen.  After all this work he put up 2 chandeliers and a funky light in my daughters room.

When my nephew was little (almost 2), he and his family moved in while I was going to college and that sweet little boy was my new playmate.  I had a boyfriend at the time who wanted to know when we would ever go out without my nephew!!  He was a sweet charming little boy who has turned into a sweet man who was a big  help to me. He won't do a job unless it's done correctly!!

So, when he hung the chandelier in my bedroom I did a last minute change and even now I'm second guessing. 

I chose the blue because of my pillow shams - Rachel Ashwell Bella Rose Blue,

but now I'm thinking maybe it would be better in clear.  I have the same chandelier in clear and I'm now undecided.  Please help me out and let me know what you think.

My dining room chandelier is a family heirloom (to me).  When my daughter was about 8 months old I found it in a little sale for $10.00.  It was brass with no crystals but I had a vision.  I painted it and started collecting crystals on ebay and through some good thrift store hunting.


It's just so nice to see the light of a chandelier in a mirror again. I want to soften the chain, just something to add to the list.  



All this made me reorganize my table top chandelier, so I moved it to my white dresser.  This dresser has a light box, thermostat and doorbell box above it so I put the chandelier in position to draw attention away from all that.



I moved my venetian mirror above it as well.  I love the look of white and grey together in winter.  I really loved this combination of  white and shine.  It's beautiful when it's lit.



It's calming and beautiful. 


Until next time,
Patricia
