The New Chandelier

 Hi Friends!
  A few weeks ago the hubs asked me what I would like for my birthday...my response was a quick one... a new chandelier for the dining room! He just rolled his eyes...hey he asked;) So I began the hunt and when I found this beauty it was love at first site! 
  The website I found it on was Lighting Universe.
 I had this medallion up with the previous chandelier too but it was plain old white...so I gave it a makeover to look old and worn. It goes so well with the new fixture now. 
Many of you guessed a ceiling medallion when I gave you a little peek last week.
 Here's the before fixture... after I dressed it up with crystals and beeswax candle sleeves. It's nice but I LOVE the after so much better!
Some of the pretty details.
 
 The hubby is even loving the new look! I catch him walking by for a peek all the time:)
 I loved it so much the matching sconce was added to my order too:) That's hanging in our living room... you'll have to wait to see that one;)
 I was considering painting my dining room chairs & hutch, but adding this lighter chandelier really brightens up the space so I think I'll leave them for now;)
I really need to teach Neena to put her toys back in her basket LOL!
Now I just need to get the finishing touches done on my living room so I can show you guys the changes that were made! Have a great week!!

    It is gorgeous Martina...it is perfect for the room...and I am glad that I am not the only one who asks for "home decor" for special occasions rather than Jewelry...this chandy is definitely a gorgeous jewel in the room!!! Happy Birthday!

    I love it Martina. I believe you got the same one I did except I got the nine light one. I put off painting my chairs and was thrilled after I got them done.

    The gorgeous chandie was meant for your beautiful dining room, Martina! I've eyed one like this for a long time (after falling in love with the one in Kim's dining room). I know you just LOVE it!

  44. MicheleOctober 17, 2013 at 8:08 AM

    Just love it too!
    It would be a shame to paint such a gorgeous table and chairs. Maybe new seat covers while you think about it.
    Love your dining room and I bet your hubby is so proud of you!

    WOW is it as beautiful in person as it is online? What a beautiful light. I have gone to the website and it is beautiful there also. I say go for it and paint your table and chairs. They aren't expensive antiques and I think you would love them and the chandy even more!!!!
