Antique & Vintage Lighting ~ Chandeliers

Vintage is Hot! And getting "the look" is a fun endeavor if you enjoy treasure hunting. A great place to start when adding a vintage look and feel to your home is lighting. Chandeliers complement any decorating style. They can add a casual elegance or whimsy to any home. Chandeliers are vintage art and when properly in place, will have an appearance of floating in the room.

Creative Chandeliers! ~ Over the New Year a friend hosted a small dinner party and I was delighted by her creativity. Using twig branches that she had gathered from outdoors she "very liberally" intertwined them among the arms of the chandelier. The combination of the branches, crystals, and delicate lighting created a rustic and primitive display that was stunning.

Whether the look you are after is vintage french cottage or rustic country a chandelier creates interest and adds style to any room. Consider adding table lamps or a floor lamp to layer lighting throughout the room to create style that accents other areas of the room to create an attractive finished look.
