We are slowly moving along with the dining room makeover.
Last evening Bobby and I hung the new chandy... but first we had to figure out where all the crystals, that had fallen to the bottom of the box, were placed on the chandy. What a job!
Lost of crystals... REAL CRYSTALS... on tiny metal rings...
Once I had all the crystals on the chandy, Bobby hung it.
I just love it! The shade is somewhat translucent so the light of the 6 candles shines through it!
The chandy came from Overstocks.com... I can always find a great bargain there!

We had just finished laying the hardwood floors and quater round molding the last two weeks.
And last week my new head chairs came home to StoneGable.
It's just the beginning... as I continue to make over the dining room I'll show you how I am progressing!
The new oriental comes next week... I am thinking of replacing two of the chairs with an upholstered bench (the rest will be repainted and reupholstered) and I am searching for some great window treatments!
Now if I could just finalize a paint color!
Oh my what a wonderful chandy! It's stunning:)
ReplyDeleteStunning and so perfect with the addition of your new chairs.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous chandie! Your dining room is going to be stunning when you finish it!
ReplyDeleteWow, so beautiful! I love the crystals. Can't wait to see the rest.
ReplyDeleteHappy Saturday.

I'll bet one of the greige colors would look great in here, Yvonne. I love your new chandy! I've always admired that style. I'd love to do something like that in our master bedroom. I think it caters to both male and female tastes. Unfortunately, the only ceiling fixture electrical holds a ceiling fan {which we use all year long}.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it!!! Your new chandy is fabulous and I also love the new chairs and floor. Your home is GORGEOUS and I love your style!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
Gorgeous chandalier! Love it! and your dining room in general is beautiful. Can' wait to see the rest of the changes!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! Those Chippendale chairs are just like my dining room chairs…I'm dying to do something new to them! Can't wait to see how yours turn out! The room looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOh it looks gorgeous sweet Ivonne. Your dining room looks grand..there's always something about a crystal chandy! Can't wait to see what your changes will be next!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend.

Yvonne, that chandy is sparkling gorgeous. You dining room already looks wonderful. Can't wait to see it all finished.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful chandelier... and I have no doubts that when this room is complete well it's going to look like a room out of a magazine...say "Traditional Home" or perhaps "House Beautiful" 2013 issue. I'll wait and see:)
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful! I love chandys!! Can't wait until you reveal your new dining room decor! Happy Thanksgiving!

I adore how the shade covers the candlebulbs, yet allows them to show through when lighted! Elegance in lighting, indeed!!! Your dining room is moving quickly towards the finish line! Lovely before. . .a vision of loveliness ahead! Thanks for sharing your newest find with us!
Fondly,
Pat

ReplyDeleteI am in love with your new chandelier. It really looks great. I can't wait to see what you do next.
ReplyDeleteLooks gorgeous, Yvonne. You are doing an awesome job on this room.
ReplyDeletefor me i do not like the drum type over the crystals, you can't see the whole effect of candle lighting, but that's just me. but drum shadea remind me of the 50's not a very good decorating time. but different stokes.i know it may be popular just not for me

Very pretty especially the new chairs. Although benches look nice and are on trend, as someone who has sat at them they are not very comfortable or practical. There is no back support and when once person needs to get up from the table the bench needs to be moved by both people. It is also hard to scoot it up close to the table. Try taking your hubby and using one together and see before you decide.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous Yvonne....I just love the translucency of the shade...I received mine from Overstock a couple of weeks ago...hopefully it will go up as soon as I decide which room will get it!...I just love you dining room!!!...
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous thing that is; you have a beautiful home.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a beautiful chandelier--I love it! Your dining room is so gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteYour chandy and dining room are so beautiful and serene. I am so enjoying your blog, it is like a breath of fresh air every day. As I look at your dining room a fabric for your window treatments came to mind. American Alpaca Textiles (http://www.americanalpacatextiles.com)has a beautiful light and airy fabric called Strata in their earth collection - and they are in Pennsylvania too! (I am not connected to the company in any way except that I too raise alpacas)

ReplyDeleteWhen you first talked about this chandelier, I ordered the same one for our kitchen eating area from Overstock. Mine came but is still in the box. So nice to see how yours looks hanging up.
Love it Yvonne! You are so talented in sooo many ways! Can't wait to see it finished!!!
