Chandeliers make me drool, part 1

I have been wanting a chandelier for a really long time.  There is something so romantic about them & the light they cast throughout a room.  They also add some serious glamour to any space.  Unfortunately, in my current home, the traditional chandelier would look completely out of place.  On the plus side, a great chandelier could be pretty spendy, so maybe it is lucky that I can't spend loads and loads of money on a serious piece of crystal.  Who knows. 

Still, every time I see one I can't help but feel like it has to be mine.  I just have to wait to buy the house to go with it!  These are some of the beautiful shots that make me drool.....

Lighting options are so amazing and can transform a space in a matter of seconds.  For the midcentury lovers out there (me, included!), I found this one on apartment therapy.  It's DIY - yeah!  If I find some serious motivation in the coming weeks, I might just try to put it together.

Hope you are all having a lovely week!  Happy Wednesday!
