Chandelier Picks for the Dining Room
Well, that string pendant DIY project is not looking so good. It’s not 100% dead so stay tuned for the results.
In happier news, I think I’ve found some lights that may work in the dining room. They all come in different finishes like bronze, silver, nickel, etc. so you’ll have to imagine them in different colors.

Breck 12 Light from Arteriors is my current favorite.

Venetian 16 Light from Circa is a close second.

Reed Eight Light from Circa is nice and simple.

Double Twist Five Light from Circa is the oddball of the bunch.
What do you think?

I really love the first one, probably because it is pretty contemporary looking. The last one is really cool though! I love how it is all twisted looking. It is very unique.

Aw maaan…I was really pumped to see the big birth ball light!

I really love the first one. The lines of it are just beautiful. I was also looking forward to your DIY light. Maybe you can hang it somewhere else in your house if it doesn’t come out dining room worthy.

Ils ont tous leur charme… le dernier et le premier me plaisent beaucoup. Bises
Like the first one…but also that Reed Eight light. It’s so clean, yet has the shades. How big is your dining room? Ceiling height?

Definitely Breck 12, love!
The last one is my pick — very stylish!
Love the 1st one, but I think your DIY be great too
I think a few smallers ones might look good in my guest bedroom, but I don’t want to try if it is too hard (if a 5th grader can’t handle it, I probably can’t either haha). Def show us pics either way!

the first one would be my pick too! love it.
So what you’re saying is there’s still a chance?
Well, in the unfortunate case of the DIY gods not smiling in your favor, I pick #1!

Ally,
Loving the last one. Don’t think it’s oddball at all!
Sorry to hear about your diy. If I had a nickel for every cool project I attempted that didn’t work out…. LOL

I LOVE the last one. Quirky, but very classy.
Post a picture of the dining room in your next post so I can visualize the chandelier over the table. Btw, the lamp that i emailed you would be a tough one for my 2 year old too. it’s not 1st dibs, Arteriors.

Love the oddball one but do admit the first one is pretty great!

Love the oddball last one! So sorry to hear about the twine project, did you look into the sphere gauzy pendants that look similar? I can’t remember the name or who makes them off the top of my head.

They are all beautiful but i love how the lines/silhouette of the first one are streamlined(more my style:-)).
I love the first one. It’s fun, retro yet modern!

Thanks for your opinions!
linda, J and Kristen: I plan on posting it when it’s done – it just may not be pretty!
Libby: The room isn’t very big and about 9′ ceilings.
angela: Yes, a very slim chance.
designchic and eyeseepretty: By oddball I meant not like the others, not that it is odd.
sara barosso: Lamp? I didn’t get any email . . . .
Lissa: Yes, I know the one – it’s by Moooi. It may be an option if I like how the DIY one looks in the space.
i love the arteriors light. go with that one! it has beautiful lines and i love the round bulbs.
and it’s don’t if the DIY isn’t working. i’m not a DIYer either!
ummmm…yes. your fave has been a fave of mine for quite some time.

Ally, I came across the same string pendant light in etsy for 85$- it seems to come in different colours. I hope you haven’t given up yet though.
