I've been fascinated by chandeliers as well as all types of hanging lights for quite some time. My favorites are 'empire chandeliers' , they're beautifully decorated with such character! Eventually, I'd LOVE to own one for my future dining room area!
Recently, I was introduced to Blue Hand Home Interiors which happens to carry the most beautiful chandelier (the 6 light Versailles with sea glass) ever made!
Feel free to take a look at their site for other interesting lighting which I'm certain you'll like!
Speaking of lighting, if you're the TYPICAL do-it-yourself type and don't want to spend $1000's of dollars on a new fixture, here are some brilliant, alternative DIY ideas!
