A sweet brass chandelier like we had at our last house painted a lovely creamy white and doctored up with lots of hanging crystals. |

Here are just a few of the things to consider:
Size for your location
Width and Height
Crystal, Glass, Acrylic or Metal?
which are highly economical and practical.
I looked at one version yesterday at a big box store
almost identical to a glass chandelier I was looking
to purchase online, except all of the parts
were acrylic plastic.
These chandeliers are fun to have at birthday parties
on the back patio and just to have hanging outside
year-round.
If an acrylic chandelier falls and or gets damaged
replacing it is easier on the budget.
They are also a perfect alternative for children’s rooms, too,
as are many of the sweet metal chandeliers
available on the market today.
Metal chandeliers can be molded into all kinds of
shapes and often are fashioned with real-like
metal leaves and flowers.
Thin metal chandeliers can have small parts
easily broken off
so this is another thing to consider
as you are looking to purchase a “chandy.”
Why I chose the Saint Mossi chandelier (originally)
I decided on this glass crystal chandelier because it
is ethereal looking to me and would be mostly clear glass.
Also, it wouldn’t be overly heavy and would still have
the fire I love in its cut glass body, dangling crystal pendants
and in its hanging swags of .
There’s nothing wrong with the acrylic one I found and
I liked it for the weight.
{four pounds less than what I purchased}
I’ve could have picked it up yesterday and almost did.
Weight is certainly a concern in here as is movement
when the RV will be on the road in the future but for now
this place isn’t moving anywhere.
myself as I have on both of our previous
dining room chandeliers but I decided for
almost the same price
I could get the more sparkly version
without having to spend more money later
adding more crystals.
Plus, the Saint Mossi is on sale now…
All the more reason!
😉
I’ve linked it below for you

Here’s a really good article on the Lamps Plus website
talking more indepth about what I’ve shared
today plus much much more.
Oh, and just a corner of something hanging up
in the window next to me as merry and bright begins…
