Again with the daily distraction from my baby Birdie who is not in recovery mode yet…

I got to thinking about lighting. Literally and metaphorically, light is integral to our lives. Sunlight, light conversation, candle light, light that enables us to see, lighting in our favorite rooms…which is what I’m focused on today. I’m enchanted by chandeliers. All kinds and in every room. My ultimate obsession right now is an artichoke chandelier, which I happened upon while perusing the new Elle Decor site (love!). Below it’s hanging in a gorgeous white Boston kitchen.

This one is only $609!

Anyway, chandeliers don’t have to be fancy or even expensive. Overstock shows us gorgeous chandeliers for around $100.

This one could go anywhere

This one would be perfect over a vanity

I like this one on either side of the bed in a modern bedroom?

I adore this one over a dining room table, second entrance or bed?

How cool is this one? It could be in an office, kid’s bedroom or what about front porch?

I like this one over a claw-foot bathtub.

This one is so interesting. I see it in a lounge or men’s bath.

This one is probably my favorite. I can’t wait to find a house with the right room for this chandelier….probably a sun-room, don’t you think?
