How do you plan to reconcile the location for the chandelier and the placement of your table?

The white candle sleeves IMO are not the right accent for your room. It takes away from the design of the chandelier

Here is the outlines of two of your fixtures. I like the Fremont light chandelier because it has rods instead of chains for hanging the fixture. IMO it's a better appearance..

FREEMONT

CARMEN

Thank you so much Beverly! To be honest, I've been leaning more towards the freemont in the past week. I like that the dimensions are smaller than the carmen. I'm afraid the carmen will be too large for my space. The freemont is 40" wide and the carmen is 49". I also know that my husband likes the look of a bar vs chain look.

The reason we're going w/ a linear lantern chandelier is to correct the off center problem we have now. The chandelier was perfectly centered before we added a leaf to our table. My husband doesn't want to redrywall the ceiling, so we figured a linear would correct the problem and cover the hole on the ceiling. So our new chandelier will be centered.

I like the Fremont. Has a nice shape and will look lovely

Thank you Jeanne! I appreciate your feedback. I just hope the quality is decent. It is from wayfair...several other vendors also sell it.

Hi AC LB, what you think about ceramic white chandelier, with a contemporary classic style, very ligthfull, clear and bright. Here I post some photos of it, it can be good also put 2 small chandelier above the table.

Thank you for the suggestion Razzetti Italy! I think the chandeliers you recommended are gorgeous, unfortunately, my husband doesn't like anything too ornate or glamorous:(.

I agree w/Beverly on this one. as for the off-center, the linear will accentuate that fact. Plus, the canopy is what you notice that will be off-center.

It's really not a big deal to move it over (unless you encounter a joist. but even that can be rectified by using a shallow plate) and patch up the other hole. I'm sure he doesn't want to do it, who would?! But, if you're going through the hassle of decorating and spending money on a nice light, why not have it hang properly?

Do the tops of your choices look like this? You may be able to fudge and move it over, but have the other hole covered by this plate. At the very least his patch job wouldn't have to have to be 'perfect' if the plate would cover up most of it.

I think I like the first one too. I like the softer gray tone and the curved body. The last one is too boxy and the white candles seem 'in your face'. If you had an all white kitchen and light/bright dining area, i think it would work better w/that look.

The Fremont would also work.

Not sure you or your husband grasp the problem here. The table looks terrible because it is not centered on the windows and electrical box. This means the leaf must come out and perhaps the sideboard needs to find a new home.

What is the view of dining room from entry? I'm wondering if your room and table orientation would be more natural with table positioned parallel to buffet? Your light fixture would remain centered w/windows and table would also be centered width wise w/windows and fixture.

Also, if selecting fixture w/rods, ensure you know the length options of the rods for proper placement over your table.

Looks very nice!
