Ok, LAST chandelier over pub table post and a TY!

A million thanks to those who offered such great feedback and who found the same PB chandelier I found on Overstock for ~50% less, potentially saving me $155!

So I'm thinking our style is transitional to eclectic - we have many things from our global travels decorating our home.

I really like the crystal look of #1 but fear it is too formal. But I think the round crystals are more contempory than a traditional crystal chandelier making it fit in to that transitional style - I could be wrong.

Then there is the other option (#2) which I don't find as exciting but may eb a good alternative if #1 is deemed too formal.

I saw the pics you posted in the last post and I think option 1 will work fine, especially if you have the eclectic feel going on in that space too. I think option 1 isn't as pretty and nor is it the "va-va-voom" unique fixture you are looking for.

#2 is really a foyer fixture IMO, so if you like #1, go for it.

Definitely #1!

I like number one.

If it were me, and I really REALLY wanted a wow experience with a light I'd get #1 and then I'd spray paint it an accent color that works with the room and the linens. Maybe a red, rusty orange or even a turquoise. I think that that fixture with the round baubles would look so chic and eclectic in a color.

You are very brave and probably very right! I'm reaching out of my comfort zone with anything other than a standard, ordinary light fixture to begin with but maybe in the future I'll be bold enough to try your suggestion!
