My Dining Room Chandelier

My chandelier came last week and I was so excited to see it. I absolutely love it and think I made the right choice. Now I just wanted to get it hung for Easter Sunday. My electrical guy said he would try, and he was such a trooper. He was going out of town Saturday afternoon so he came at 7 AM on Saturday morning to hang it. Now that is way above and beyond what I expected.

So here it is in all it’s glory –

Love it, I think it has enough presence for the room but is still open and airy so it doesn’t dominate the space.

I even like the way it looks as you come down the stairs. If you have a fixture that can be seen from upstairs, then you have to make sure it looks good from the top too.

Everyone warned me not to hang it too low. The general rule of thumb is 30″ and this is 31″. I think it could have been a couple inches lower but maybe it’s just because I have a shorter centerpiece on the table.

If you have been following along, then you remember these are the choices I was considering.

At any rate, I love it and think I made the right choice. This was such a great find and price. It came from Build.com and it sells for $153.85. You can find it here. I think this proves you can find some great buys out there and you don’t have to sell a kidney to have a fabulous light.

I added some pillows to the host chairs to give them more presence. It totally changes the look.

I am having fun looking at this space from all kinds of different angles. Isn’t it amazing how something new just gives such a different look to the entire room.

This was the beginning of my Easter table. I added a couple of leaves on Sunday morning and redid the table for 8. I love being able to visit with my family.
