    Good thing I didn't read these comments BEFORE the movie we saw tonight or I would not have been able to focus on the movie! LOL....

    I wondered about the size of the chandy I posted, so thanks G! Decisions....I just told my husband that if I don't spend A LOT of money on something then I don't feel married to it, so it can be changed out in a few years Rainy!

    And....I do like to make a statement.....will ponder these!

    @Grover: I can picture that big version crashing down on the bed.

  • 11 years ago
    G....hmmmm...not worried about it falling....lol.....I am getting adjusted to the idea of a chandy in the bedroom....
  • 11 years ago
    And.....sure makes a statement!!!
  • 11 years ago

    Here's some sparkle which uses LED lights for less than $150. Could you picture it in the centered in the room rather than over the bed?

    Rainy....my husband likes this one!

    To me the preceding light (photo) mimics a starry sky and feels a bit romantic. Offered by DH Gate lighting.

    @Grover: Hey, I see you forgot to inform Mary that when one flicks the switch for the big black chandlier, it plays Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor!

  • 11 years ago

    I kinda like the funky lighting.

  • 11 years ago

    I like rainy's light too. Of course, I have no idea how big it is, so I tried to judge it by the canopy...


  • 11 years ago

    The LED crystal light size is as follows: 28.74 " L; 28.74 W; 14.57 H.

  • 11 years ago
    Is it big enough? Where is it from?
  • 11 years ago
    While you all are deciding on our light I painted the walls in the TV room....:-)
  • 11 years ago

    I don't know if the light is the correct size. It's for you to determine. I found it at DHGate.com Your paint job looks good. I kind of liked the purple too.

    Mary, did you paint it the color on the right - the toasty? good that you keep busy! Somehow the fancier lighting detracted from the other elements too much.

  • 11 years ago
    Yes on portabello paint...purple was previous owner...
  • 11 years ago
    New paint
  • 11 years ago

    Gawd, I hate to say this, but...I loved the purple. '-(


  • 11 years ago
    G.....no surprise you liked the eggplant!
  • 11 years ago
    Grover....here's another pic...maybe this one will make you feel better! Lol I rarely disagree...but I like how the oak blends....and it's warm and cozy...need to change out another light...geez...
  • 11 years ago
    Grover.....where did you find the larger black chandy? It's growing on me! :-)
  • 11 years ago
    Grover may want to slap me til my head spins, but I think the mantle needs painting! Too yellowish brown...a grayish brown mo bettah. Maybe even a dark gray glaze over what you have now? Distressed a bit? Neigh?
  • 11 years ago

    Your family room looks put together. I think the ceiling fan in there is good too. It's mod and decorative. As for that big black chandy which plays Bach fugues when you turn it on, it's going to be the first thing people notice about the room. Is that what you want.?

  • 11 years ago

    Mary, Grover's picture of the Jet Black Crystal Chandelier has a more info link you can click on. It's for sale on Houzz.

  • 11 years ago
    Rainy....GREAT point on chandy!!!! Didn't know it played music....and...

    I Like the drum shade...hmmm

    LOL on ceiling fan in TV room....I thought it looked like it belonged in a beach house!
  • 11 years ago

    I think this chandy has class. It's $236. Do you like it?


  • 11 years ago

    Now you've got me looking at chandeliers instead of preparing dinner! I found some with animal prints but you don't want the cats fighting with the zebras. I'm including a pic of a bent wood light just to see how that might go with your jungle-like elements in the bath. (By the way, I posted the musical Bach piece quite a while ago @Grover but no one picked up on it. Nothing worse than a joke that goes south!)


  • 11 years ago
    Wrong bath Rainy! But could work with guest room!!! Lol on dinner! We just primed the downstairs hall with Old 50s cabinets!! So I'm not cooking! Below is master bath!
  • 11 years ago

    My mistake about the bathroom décor. Another project in the works. You are full of ambition.

  • 11 years ago

    What do you think of the gold chandy I posted recently?

  • 11 years ago
    Think I am going with the small black chandy....it's feminine and different and has personality....that's me! Lol
  • 11 years ago

    Good to be decisive.

  • 11 years ago
    Rainy....really like the wood chandys...could see that in our guest room...where did those come from?
  • 11 years ago
    last modified: 11 years ago

    Mary, those bentwood chandeliers are from West Elm. Geez, I clearly spend too much time online.

  • 11 years ago
    Grover...lol....did you see I am going with black chandy!
  • 11 years ago

    Mary, after all this time, you should know I've got you pegged. That chandy is SO you!

  • 11 years ago
    GROVER....thought you might like to see our new additions....my husband and I agree we need to center chandy over bed but for now since we didn't have long enough chain, wire.....
  • 11 years ago

    I think it looks great. It will be fabulous when you get it swagged over the bed. And I'm not even a chandelier person. Do YOU like it?

  • 11 years ago
    Grover.....LOVE IT!!! And so does my husband even though it took quite awhile to put the beads on!!

    Do I need any art above my headboard?
  • 11 years ago

    I don't think anything goes over the headboard. I am a bit disturbed by the mirrored closet doors. They make the room busy. Would you be open to changing those out?


  • 11 years ago

    Take a look at Ikea's Pax system doors. You have to do a bit of hacking, but I used them on my laundry alcove and they look great.

    Pax doors in my painting studio that hide the washer, dryer, and utility sink:


  • 11 years ago
    I think the mirrored closet doors are "dated"...so yes on changing! I feel like our bedroom is missing something.....don't know what.....???? Color???

    These doors might work for our laundry alcove in our TV room....right now it's folding doors! :-(
  • 11 years ago
    Sorry...... accordion doors in TV room.....
  • 11 years ago

    Accordion doors....makes me smile....I always called them Sunday School doors as that is what they pulled every Sunday morning to close off all the classroom areas.

    I just moved from a house that a decorator helped me with. I had those bathroom cabinets in my kitchen, and a granite that looks a lot like your mirror. I did not want to paint the cabinets and she suggested a paint color that worked very well. It is SW Wheatgrass, an earthy green. I loved it!
