Texas Tuscan Chandelier (a before and after)

I wanted to replace an ugly living room ceiling fan with something like this:

or this:

We loved this light from Ballard Designs. Bretagne 9-Light Chandelier. At $989, it was a splurge we could have gone for.

Until we found this:

What a steal at just $189.99 on overstock.com with $2.95 shipping. I can't believe it doesn't cost more!

So, we went from this:

to this:

Now the eye is drawn up to this airy light that finishes and balances the space perfectly. The warm glow from the 15 watt bulbs is just right and a dimmer switch was installed for even more ambiance. Wouldn't it be pretty in a grand foyer? Or over a round table? Stay tuned to see the complete living room transformation.
