Yay or Nay?

I am forever in love with chandeliers, but some designs are a big much for me... I am more of a classic/old-school kinda gal. So here's one I found and I am not sure how I feel about it, or where would I hang it. Probably an all-white girl bedroom? an office? OK, what say you...

Luvs it? or not so much...?

Things I covet...

I definitely need [Translation: have got to have] a few things and it cannot wait. What are the things you covet?

1) A fabulous accent mirror

2) Cute chandelier just like this one

A buffet / Bar like this one...
[this is the most urgent ;) ]



Or this one

I recently stayed at at the Hilton in Mexico City and they had one VERY similar in my room....

Of course I was totally devastated I couldnt fit it in my luggage :(

Light it up!

Using the right lighting is very important when you are trying to make a strong statement in your dining room...

Dining room lighting should be both beautiful and functional. This requires a mix of general, task, and accent lighting that can set the mood for a number of functions, including a formal dinner, a family get-together, and other activities such as homework, hobbies, or family bookkeeping. Dimming controls are great, they will enable you to vary the light for each occasion.

A chandelier is the focal point of the dining room. Suspended over the dining table, it serves as a decorative style element that enhances the beauty of your fine furnishings. When the light is dimmed, a soft, glowing atmosphere similar to candlelight is created. If equipped with a downlight, the chandelier provides task lighting for the table and accent lighting for a centerpiece.

See what I found on Lamps USA!
