And the hunt is on...

for a new dining chandelier!  So the chandelier in our dining area now is not dreadful and it works just fine, but it is very basic and looks like all of the other chandeliers in new homes nowadays.  I want something unique and unexpected but that also won't be out of place.  Anyhow, I've been looking and looking for what seems like months now, mainly to get ideas but I am wanting to make the purchase soon since we've already been in our home for 2.5 years!  Here are some of the styles I've considered at some point:

White Coral Chandlier

Iron Chandelier but without the shades

This style chandelier but with a gilded finish though, not pink

Drum style with an overlay of designed metal
As you can see, each style is extremely different from the other.  Right now, I'm leaning towards the iron chandelier and it's also budget friendly!  Anyhow, we shall see what ends up above our table!  Which one do you like best?  Below is a picture of our current chandelier in our dining space.  It looks onto our kitchen in the background (which usually has decor on the walls but we took it all down and painted recently).  Hopefully we'll be getting our "new" dining chairs finished soon too!  All that's left is to sand, stain and upholster! whew!

Happy August!

I can't believe August is here already.  Where is this summer and year going?!  This will be a very busy month but it should be a good one.  We have a wedding, parties, starting back the school year, and a few other fun things planned too!  Hope it is a great one for everyone and enjoy the rest of your summer!
