I have been searching for the longest time to find a chandelier / pendant light that is justright for the dining nook. There are just so many options and so many directions I could take - something more glam like a crystal chandelier, something uber-modern, a little mid-century mod, something kinda traditional.. and on and on. When I feel indecisive like this I turn to my buddy Photoshop to visualize. Here are some options:
The one on the left is a craigslist find I have been considering, as well as some urchin looking thing that is a lot prettier up close, and a standard Ikea pendant. Still no clue.
Well we went out for a walk today and in trying to hide from the swarms of green-clad 20somethings trying to get into all the Boylston bars (happy St. Patty's Day to you all), we ducked into Crate&Barrel. And in the little sale corner we found this guy:
For $20! Yesssss. Not sure if it's exactly what I want for the dining area but it's a great start. And really, just the pendant cord and mounting plate would cost more than that from most places. Excited for another project! And yes, I will also post about the wall mounted tv, which looks AMAZING btw.
