Which chandelier do you like more?

I am looking to purchase one of these for our nursery, but I can't decide which one. Both chandeliers are the same price and if I were to purchase #1 I would paint or replace the beige candlesticks.

Number 1 is 11" wide and number 2 is 14" wide

  • I like both, but from what I can remember of the pictures you've posted of your bedding & furniture I am thinking #2.

    I am also doing a chandelier of some sort in my nursery. I think you are doing a shabby chic theme? I am too, although different colors than you. Which doesn't surprise me because we had similar wedding tastes, just different colors and I think from something else you've told me similar decorating colors for the rest of our houses!

  • I'll be the lone dissenter.  I like #1 better.
  • I like #1 the best!  But I don't know what the rest of the room looks like so take my opinion with a grain of salt

    Yes you are correct, we have very similar tastes. Big Smile The shabby chic idea that I had went out the window a long time ago though! :( I still want to try to keep within that look but my bedding definitely isn't shabby chic. I think #1 has a more shabby chic/ little girl looks to it though, don't you?

    I do think #1 has more of a shabby chic look and actually think I like it a little more than the other. But from what I can remember of the bedding you posted, it seems like #2 would fit in more. But I could be remembering it wrong. Do you have any recent pics of the nursery?

    Would you mind sharing the site you where you found these? I think I have a chandelier lined up (one my mom already has, so free), but she isn't bringing it until Tuesday and then I have to see if I like it with my other stuff. It would be good to have a backup, just in case.

    Overstock! :) They are both around $65. The first pic is the set we chose and the 2nd pic is the crib

    That is a totally different bedding set than I remembered. Originally it was lavender, right? Maybe a damask-esque pattern? In any case, I still think 2.

    And thanks for sharing the site!

  • Chelsea and Tasha - Please post pics of your nurseries after they are complete!

    I cannot wait until I get to design Macy's big girl room (we are going to keep the current nursery for the new baby since it's gender neutral).  I have started collecting pics for inspiration and I am justing waiting until I get KTFU to start.  Right now I am leaning towards a shabby chic theme with a Coco Chanel/French/Eiffel Tower feel.  Maybe pinks, creams and browns?  IDK, I have plenty of time to decide......considering I am not even pregnant yet.  LOL.

    I really like the first chandelier and think it would be perfect for Macy's future room.  Although, I question if I am crazy for not keeping a ceiling fan in there.  It gets hot in Texas!  But I could alway have a cute, vintage looking desk fan right?!

    Yes, but it looked horrible in our off-white crib so I sent it back (yesterday actually). I loved that bedding so much.

    Yes!! I will be sure to post pics when we are done. I feel like its never going to happen though, lol. I love the look that you are going for with her big girl room, I would have loved to have done that with our nursery but the bedding sets that I would have had to purchase to achieve that look were just too expensive.

    The one thing I did splurge on for Macy's room was her crib set.  Everything else was cheap in her room.  Finding a gender neutral crib set that didn't have Winnie the Pooh on it was close to impossible!

    I wish I hadn't spent so much on it.  But oh well.  It's held up nicely so far and I am planning on using it for the next baby.  Maybe then I will get my money's worth?!

    We are splurging on the Travel System and trying to stay "cheap" for everything else. For gender neutral I can understand spending more for a set you like. I agree, its very hard to find a set that doesn't have large characters/animals on them. I was so in love with the first set I bought, and still am... I just wish we could have found a white crib that we liked. BRU had a cream & white set that was just precious, but I wanted it to be a little more girly. Hopefully once we get the paint up this weekend, we can work on the rest of the details. I think I picked the chandelier that we will go with but H won't let me order it without his approval.... sometimes he drives me crazy! lol

    This

  • #1 is so beautiful!! I like #2 but I get an older vibe from it, #1 seems more nursery friendly. But you really can't go wrong. Have you decided?

    I think I am leaning more towards #1 now.
