aktillery,

Thanks for the photo & link!!! I really like that chandelier & think it would go well in my dining room. I also found this one that looks a lot like your other chandelier which is actually the one I was asking about, but it is old forged iron & I was looking for ORB....

Here are the two I ordered from Restoration Hardware, but when they arrived & installed they both looked black.

and here is an old picture of the room. Which style do you think works best? Do you think the link you posted would work better in this room? I just can't make a decision & right now we have a whole in the ceiling!!! Thanks for your help!

aktillery,

Here's the link to your fkb pic. I love this one, but do you think a silvery finish like your other one would look better in my room?

Thanks!

ok, I did some "mock-ups" if anyone would like to give an opinion. Hope it doesn't lock anyone up! Thanks!

Oh gosh! I feel like a dumby!!! You know, with your mock ups I really like the splash of light the silvery finish gives and it also goes well with your pottery! I like the third one down. Which do you like the best?

That is too funny I assumed the silver one and not the one over my island. I think maybe Kichler might sell some like that.

oh I'm sorry, that's why I didn't want to say anything, but I really do like both! I love all of the pictures of your house that you post here!

I loved the orb, but when they were up they just seemed too dark, so maybe the silver is the way to go. I just didn't know if my room was too casual for that finish.

Thanks so much for your help!

Keep me posted. I think your room would be perfect for either a silver or pewter sort of finish. Is silver is too bright then try the pewter. I think it will definitely look great.

Your room is very lovely by the way!!!
