Wednesday Wish List – Chandeliers

February 9, 2011

As satisfying as it is to complete a project or get something new for your home, I think it’s also fun to have a wish list. It’s kind of like planning for a vacation to a city you’ve never been before … flipping through magazines and catalogs, doing a little research and daydreaming.

My wish list includes a new chandelier over my kitchen table.

While I do like some of the lighting choices our builder made, others … not so much.

There’s nothing really wrong with it. I just want something more … interesting. I’ve been inspired by these photos.

I’ve tried to spruce it up by having this painted on the ceiling above it …

If money were no object, (and we didn’t need to completely rip out and redo our front bluestone steps this spring … another story) I’d love to get this:

Restoration Hardware 6 Arm Wine Barrel Chandelier $2595

This one is pretty swoonworthy too …

Restoration Hardware Foucaukt Iron Orb $850

I also like this one …

Restoration Hardware Parisian 6 Arm Chandelier $895

Shades of Light has one with a similar feel that’s slightly less expensive …

Provence Crown and Tassel Chandelier $698

I love the light creamy color of them both and all the little details give them the interest I am looking for.

This next one has a more casual feel … but that might be nice for a kitchen. I love the rustic texture and that it’s modeled after an old wine barrel.

Shades of Light Wine Barrel Lantern $998

Then I saw this one from Wisteria …

It’s simple, French, and elegant … and the price … (swoon!)
Regal French Chandelier $295
What do you think? What’s on your wish list?

    Crystal chandeliers are some of the most sought after lighting pieces, because they can successfully provide an elegant look to any room and their lighting ability is also very well complying with the requirements of big rooms especially. These chandeliers are often made from cut glass and they employ arms that are reminiscent of the medieval ages. Because of the multitude of cut glass pieces light will be reflected and spread evenly across the entire space it will be put to work in, providing good lighting for every kind of indoor activity.Chandelier Cleaning

Pinch me - I was with Jean Stoffer last night! (Ju Pinch me - I was with Jean Stoffer last night! (Just before she flies out to LA for the Emmys!) what a wonderful event at the Monogram Design Studio learning Jean’s tips and tricks for setting a beautiful holiday table. (It doesn’t have to be perfect or match … lean into nostalgia with vintage pieces and found treasures from travels and take advantage of faux greens … just to name a few!) Plus the talented chefs at Monogram served up the most delicious snacks using their amazing Five-in-One Wall Oven. I’m excited to set my table for Christmas Eve this year and I may just be using Jean’s idea of tying velvet ribbons to vintage coupe glasses. Oh and the dried orange garland!  What are your favorite things to add to your Holiday table?

Swipe to see the original photo this client sent me asking what they could do to their home office that is right off their entry to make all the cords and big black monitor disappear. My solution … paint the back wall dark and invest in a true Executive Desk with hidden cord openings. Then add some warmth with a rug and art. I sent them several Design Boards and paint swatches with this is where we landed! #edesign #homeoffice @luluandgeorgia @potterybarn @benjaminmoore

Do you know the story of how Crate & Barrel began? Do you know the story of how Crate & Barrel began? Newlyweds Gordon and Carol Segal discovered simple white European dinnerware on their honeymoon and decided their hometown friends needed it too. They opened the first Crate & Barrel in Chicago in 1962. So honored to be invited to their 60th Anniversary celebration last night. And let me just say, Crate & Barrel sure knows how to set a table … for 60! Every detail of this evening was beautifully styled in that special C&B way that has made them a favorite place to shop for so many for so long. It was wonderful to hear Gordon speak and the last picture is the lovely cozy view I had for dinner. Quintessential Crate & Barrel. @crateandbarrel #60thanniversarycelebration
