Chandelier confusion...... *****(Update below)***


I should be busy packing things up right now, but I have been staring at chandeliers all morning trying to decide on one for above our kitchen island. See! You wonder why we aren't moved in our house yet! :) I'm just so excited about getting some lighting above our island. The granite on our island is so beautiful and it needs some lighting shining down on it. My problem is I just can't decide what I want. I did narrow it down to going with a chandelier instead of pendant lighting.
So, what do you think? I could use some help! I found these on over stock and narrowed it down to only six........
At first I really liked this one! I wasn't too sure about the black color, but I think it would go nicely because of our black counters.

Then I saw this one. I like the color of it and thought it would go nicely with the antiquing in our cabinets.

Then I saw these next 3. They are very similar and a total different look from the other chandeliers. I like the simplicity of the one above and the way the lights go down.

I liked the bronze color of these.....

Then lastly I saw this one!! Something totally different from what I was thinking, but I think it is really pretty and has character.

Soooooo. Now I am just confused! Not sure what to go with??????
Better get back to packing now!!!!

Update!!!! Thanks everyone for sharing your opinions!!! Loved reading them all! I have decided to go with the chandelier that originally hit my eye first and go with the first one! This was also Dale's favorite, which being that he loves to cook, want him to be happy too!;) Will take an updated photo of it hanging in our kitchen, which hopefully will not take too too long!

These are all very pretty. If I were to pick the prettiest, it would be the last one, but that seems an odd choice to go over an island. If I were trying to maximize light, I would probably choose #5. But, if I were trying to match your kitchen the best, then I would go with #3. It's clean and simple, traditional, but without the crystals that would make me think it belongs in an entry.

Have I confused you yet?

I would go with the last one or the first. I think they would add some sweetness to the kitchen. Love, love them.

I have to say the first one. It sort of combines all of things you like in the others in one. Can't wait to see what you pick!

I think either the first or second one ~ Oooo, you have great taste! Please let us know what you decide - this is fun :)

Oh, having just purchased lighting for several different rooms, I know what you are going through! The selections seem endless and if you are like me, you'll have to live with them for the next 20 years! I love #1 and #5, both are unique, pretty and give an personal feel to them. They are all lovely though!

I would pick the first one!!!

Robin said...

These all look great! I don't think you would go wrong with any of these choices. The couple that really caught my eye was 1,2 & the last one ... something different. Can't wait to see which one you picked.

Have fun! Robin
