Here's what I've sourced so far . . . I might be seeing some DIY lighting in our future:
Option 2: Is from Candelabra and at $1200 a completely unrealistic choice for our Manor. But I could also see some form of DIY maybe using an existing Chandelier from Craigstlist and some Beads.
Option 3: Is from Lucy Renshaw, I have no idea how much it is, but I saw it on Apartment Therapy a while back and the image has always stuck in my head. It's made from wood but it looks like ribbon, I'm seriously in LOVE. I'm not sure if it would fit into our existing decor but who cares, for something this cool I'll redecorate the entire house (Lee if you're reading this Calm Down I'm not going to redecorate the whole house!). ;)
Anyone else have any DREAM pieces they're dying to put in their house? Window Shoppers Unite!!!
I saw a pin on Pinterest on how to DIY that beaded chandelier....I didn't pin it, but I'm sure that you could find it easily.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say the same thing as Kim... I have seen the DOY version all over the blogosphere. Good luck... cant wait to see pics!
ReplyDeleteoh my they all seem wonderful....as I read the above comments I feel a DIY coming into your future????
ReplyDeleteLove your coat rack & the yummy recipe!
I am also enthralled with chandiliers at the moment. I saw one I think in CB2 that was wine bottles and I thought that was brilliant since I save all my "memorable" wine bottles from birthdays, celebrations etc. Until I realized...it came with the bottles. So, I figured doing a DIY wouldn't be too hard. I just don't have a Lee to help weld! Good luck! Can't wait to see what you come up with!
ReplyDeleteOooh that second one is to die for!
ReplyDeleteI have seen some DIY Mason jar pendants around... maybe you could try something like that? Still kitchen/food-related without having to worry about somehow knocking into your wine-glass-holding-light-fixture and breaking your glasses AND your lamp!
luv #2 - and definitely diy-able with pinterest. and a good use if you have some old sentimental beaded necklaces.
ReplyDeleteI love the one with the wine glasses, but wouldn't want to have to clean it! I too have seen a DIY version of the 2nd one.
ReplyDeletelove No1 but I think No2 is more suited for your decor. Can No3 be an out door item for your back yard. No3 looks a little country and your home isnt that style. Looking forward to seeing your choice and the results
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! My husband and I just finished DIY-ing an insane, huge light fixture for our dining room and we LOVE it. It's a big project to undertake, but it's so worth it!
ReplyDeleteOh my.... love the wine glasses chandelier! That is so cool for a dining room. I think Lee could totally do it. Plus... it would be super easy to clean. Just run the glasses thru the dishwasher periodically.
ReplyDeleteTrying to DIY that beaded pendant seems like a nightmare to me. LOL
The third one is totally cute, but it doesn't seem to fit in with your house. It would be really cute as an outside light, tho.
We recently added a chandelier to our dining room which resembles #2 and I have to say...it's AMAZING. :)
ReplyDeleteIn the USA, there is a slightly different chandy - same look for much less than $1200! sold by Pottery barn for $499/-. maybe they ship to Canada ...?

Hey if you like option #1 check out today's post at Copy Cat Chic: http://www.copycatchic.com/2012/07/anthropologie-soda-jerk-chandelier.html
ReplyDeleteIt's a WINE BOTTLE chandy!
What a coincidence, tonight I was just debating lighting fixtures for our dining room in our local Homesense! They had identical versions to Restoration Hardware's Wine Barrel 5-Arm Chandelier, the Wine Barrel 6-Arm Round Chandelier and the Foucault's Iron Orb Chandelier medium size (which is the one we walked out with!) The Orb chandelier at Restoration Hardware-$795, my knock off from Homesense-$129.99!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you come up with!
i like your pendant, i really really do. number 3 looks tacky, sorry.
ReplyDeleteand i remember seeing number 2 lookalike at ikea for about 70 bucks:

I love what CB2 does with their Whirly Hanging Candleholders. Quirky and cute!

ok, I'm in LOVE!!!!!
DeleteBrittle from Gus and Lula just showed a DIY for #2 - http://www.gusandlula.com/2012/06/chandelier.html. Hope this helps.
ReplyDeleteThere's a pendant light I've been eyeing for almost a year- I know it would look perfect in our dining room but I haven't been able to convince my husband that we don't need the ceiling fan!
