For awhile, my heart was dead set on hanging a beautiful orb (like this one). But then we added mullions (criss crosses) to our dark blue French doors. Oh, we then we hung a very modern fan in our living room (check out the ever so sleek and efficient Big Ass Fan here). With these additions to our space, my vision began to change.
I now wanted a fixture that would blend well with our living spaces versus make a grand statement. And I wanted the light to still have rounded edges (like the orb), but with softer lines.
Well, I found a gray double-layered pendent that's simply beautiful (thank you Crate & Barrel)! It looks sharp, both with the light on and off. Also, it doesn't have a chain, but rather a nice streamlined steel bar that harnesses the pendent to the ceiling. We also updated our ceiling medallion to a more contemporary look that compliments the crown molding.
We were so happy to say good-bye to the brass chandelier and the old gaudy ceiling medallion that had been hanging around since we moved in May! What a difference, huh?
The old chandelier.
I love vintage pieces, but this light did not flow with the rest of our house.
Obsessed with the light gray shade and dark gray pipping!
In the natural light, it looks simple and pretty. And notice the fan in the top right corner? I think the two fixtures work well together!
And at night, it gives a perfect warm glow.
