Using Crystal Chandeliers to Make Your Kitchen Glorious! 0

Who says crystal chandeliers are too formal for a kitchen?  Not us!  Nor our customers.

Above is a slightly customized Mabel in a very sophisticated, yet small, kitchen.  It looks perfect with the open shelves and Carrara marble.  

With modern exhaust fans and cooking methods, you don't have to worry so much about the amount of grime that will accumulate on a chandelier.  (Though, we say never worry about it at all!  A dirty chandelier is better than no chandelier.) 

Choosing a chandelier like the Mabel, above, makes cleaning an easier task. With a lack of crystal strands/festoons and bobeches that lift straight off the candle, this chandelier can be cleaned in an hour.

Above are our 3-R-6 chandeliers offering plenty of light for this island work space.  A little bit more off a chandelier to clean, but totally worth it! 

Check out our Houzz idea board or our Pinterest board for more crystal chandeliers looking beautiful in your kitchens.

There is more than one way to light art 0

Our dear friend and dynamic artist,  Meridith McNeal, just sent us these lovely images from her latest exhibition at Figureworks Gallery in Brooklyn, NY.

Our Princess chandelier in the foreground of this image and her lovely  Signora della Casa: Lace Dress on the wall behind.  Meridith frequently includes chandeliers and chandelier components in her art, and if you take a good look, you can see a chandelier in this work.

Dressing Downton exhibit opens at Lightner Museum! 0

We were so excited to help prepare for this fun, informative, and beautiful exhibit.  Our good friends at Lightner Museum in St. Augustine have gone to great lengths to make "Dressing Downton" extraordinary.

Tim and crew cleaned the existing  chandeliers and added a new chandelier to the halls.  You can see them at work here.

If you are missing Downton Abbey, this is the next best thing!
