“The One” Chandeliers

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

Okay, Part 2 of my quest for great design finds!
I think beautiful chandeliers are like jewelry for the home.  They make a statement and enhance a space effortlessly!

Unfortunately, they can be very expensive!

Recently, I completed a lounge for my friend Vivian.  Everyone loves the chandelier and wanted to know where it was purchased!

Vivian actually found it at Z Gallerie, this is the closest one they sell now.
