Chandelier: Before And After

I still can not believe I convinced my husband to paint our chandelier.  This man does not like change.  I have been known to buy a piece for the house, lean it up against a wall for a couple weeks, and then casually ask him to hang it.  I also will call him at work to warn him that I have made changes so that he is not shocked when he arrives at home.  One only repaints the bathroom as a "surprise" in their first year of marriage to never do that again. O.K., back to the chandelier!

Our dinning room has basically looked like this for the past 6 years:

We listed our house and are trying to sell, but I am committed to surrounding myself with things I love.  And because My Main Man signed up for me, he worked on this:

He inhaled many fumes in the garage.

Ta Da!  Dinning room, and really the whole main floor is transformed.

I am not 100% sure if I will leave it as is, or look for new shades.  

What do you think?

I am busy making numerous other changes to our dinning room, including the drapes, wall art, and accessories.  {Full dinning room "after" pics to come.}  I will fill you in on my not-spending-much version of our dinning room re-vamp soon!

I hope to see you back here tomorrow for Friday Favorites!
