Once again I need your help! I am down to my last finishing touch on my dining room. Over the last 18 months, I have painstakingly created a space that I am proud to call my own. {My husband has doubted me every step of the way!} I love my dining table and chairs. It took three weekends, but painting the chalkboard wall and trim is finally done. The gallery wall, that I have been planning for years, took shape and is complete!
And the finishing touch? New lighting! Let me quickly say that I have limited my choices mainly due to budget. I eventually want to remodel the entire space and I am not keen on spending a large dollar amount on a light that may or may not stay. I have scoured the interweb and found two choices I really find appealing!
So, here are the choices and my thoughts:
THIS// Glass Orb Chandelier/ West Elm $399 {sale}
West Elm’s description: The Glass Orb Chandelier shimmers with seven luster-glass globes that hang from an antiqued brass frame. Adjustable globes let you style the shine at just-the-right height.
My take: I love the look of the clustered globes. This light comes with either luster {gold tones} or opal {opaque} globes. I prefer the luster. Being able to adjust the height of the globes makes me happy, but I worry that it might be overwhelming in our small dining room.
THAT// Vega 5 Chandelier/ Schoolhouse Electric & Co. $329
Schoolhouse’s description: This bare bulb fixture, the Vega 5 Chandelier, features five jointed arms with industrial-grade swivels and natural brass socket covers for a rich, polished finish with a mid-century modern aesthetic.
My take: Love the sleek lines and the understated profile of this light. It reminds me of Sputnik chandeliers, which are well outside my price range. The light comes in black/brass or all brass. My table measures 78″ long. I wonder if this chandelier is big enough for the table.
Ok. What do you think? Glass Orb or Vega 5?
