Oh. My. Word!!
All I can say is...I'm in love with the new chandy! You know I could hardly wait to get that thing up...I absolutely LOVE it..it's perfect over my breakfast table & of course, the green sparkly bobeche beads are staying! But then, you knew they would. They really set it off & besides, they match my kitchen. I can't believe how this change adds so much sparkle to the kitchen...those little changes make all the difference in the world. (click all the pics to enlarge)
*Sigh*...it's perfect. I asked my hubby if he liked it. He said, yeah, but I don't like that sparkley crap hanging off there. 
I really like the shades that came with it too.
It really does transform the whole breakfast area. I can hardly believe the difference it makes in here. So, while we're here, I'll show you more of this little area in the kitchen.
You've probably seen my black table & chairs already. I've had this set for 5 years now & still love it. Painted the chairs black at that time & they have served me well. My red bunny fabric that I fell in love with then...haven't grown tired of it either.
Here is where the little yardsale oil painting has landed. I quite like it here.
This antique cupboard is one of my very best antiques & one of 2 pieces I have that are really truly French antiques.
I found this at Scott's Antiques Market in Atlanta back in 2001 & fell in love with it then. It was such a unique piece & I had never seen anything like it before. It is signed on the back by the French maker who made it. The patina on these old pieces cannot be duplicated. Once you have a piece like this, you want more. It has the coolest niche areas.
This is inside the middle door. I have all the original keys & they still work. See the notches for the shelves to be moved. Of course, that wire shelf didn't come in there, I added it for extra storage.
See the patina up close...it is lustrous & magical..love this old hardware. Those French, they sure know how to make beautiful furniture.
The door has shadings of dark & light. I will never get rid of this piece.
And just thought I'd show you the bunny rug that matches my window treatment fabric. This was a lucky find!So happy to show ya'll the new chandy. You can see it's a perfect fit in my breakfast area & breathes new life in there. This is one of my best finds ever!
See below for what I'm doing this weekend. See ya'll when I return from Nashville!

Everything is just gorgeous! I love the colors. You have exquisite taste but somehow that doesn't surprise me coming from a Southern girl.

I loooooooooove your house! I am a huge fan of green!!! (I collect blue & white china, and it looks great against green.) And your hubby sounds just like mine ("sparkly crap" lol - my hubby would say precisely the same words)!
Rhoda the chandy is wonderful and the "jewelry" adds to the charm!
You know, don't you...being in Nashville over the weekend, just puts you that much closer to St Louis and the garage "sale of the century"!;-)
Pat

Wow! That chandalier looks like it was made for your breakfast/dining room!...beads and all! I love your decorating style and love to see your new creations. Thank you for sharing that!

Love your new chandy. It's perfect. . . and I'd keep the dangly thingys too!! That's what makes it so special : )
Your house is beautiful. We have similiar style/decorating tastes.
I love Beth Moore. Enjoy yourself and have a great time. I have not YET had the opportunity to hear her speak, but I love her bible study classes at our church. She certainly is annointed by the Holy Spirit and touches me in some way every time I hear her speak on her videos.
Have a blessed time.
Blessings,
Love that chandelier! It looks perfect in that room. (Also loving the room!). Hope you have a wonderful trip!
I AM SO TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH YOUR HOUSE!!!! (Like everyone else!) You're so talented with mixing and matching. Absolutely beautiful.

Bill complains constantly about the shades on our fixture. He'd really choke on the bling!
I think yours is ideal =D

That is Fab! I can't really tell what the true color of the walls are but in some pictures it looks just like my living room color. (it is an old SW color from before the color changes they made several years back) I 'think' it was called Cactus but when we opened the can all I could think was pea soup!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment! Your header is pretty nice too. I haven't figured out how to combine more than one picture yet.
The chandy looks terrific! Great find. And I LOVE the cupboard.
The chandelier looks lovely and how cool is it that the beads match?
The patina is beautiful on the French antique furniture.
Rhoda........The chandelier is perfect! I love the finish and it looks so wonderful in your breakfast area - great job!
Bonnie
So pretty! I'm a green girl, too!
It is PERFECT! LOVE IT! And I'm so glad you kept the beads!

Mary
I love stopping by your blog and seeing the pictures of your wonderful home! Your "chandy" is wonderful...and keep those beads!!!
oh wow! I'm so glad I stumbled on your blog! I know you probably will never find me... 41 post and all but... I miss my homeland of GA... and visiting on your blog is soo refreshing! Your chandy is lovely!!
Everything has the WOW factor!
The Chandy is stunning. Great job in putting it up and it does match your walls perfectly! Beautiful and elegant kitchen.
Enjoy your trip to Nashville.
I'm so glad you shared your chandy makeover. You definately have the knack for re-furbishing items (and decorating too). Your kitchen is wonderful, love the table and chairs. :)
What a beautiful chandelier...it looks perfect in your kitchen. I like the beads. They dress it up just enough.
Love all of it. I missed you and glad to be home.
Love all your treasures...especially that chandelier!!
Linda
Love the chandelier - it's gorgeous in that room! Do you mind if I ask what color paint is on your walls in your breakfast area? It looks so nice!
Kari
The antique piece is just beautiful! Love it, love it, love it!
I just found a link to your blog last week. I loved your style so looked up what you had in your kitchen since I'm changing mine around. I love your bunny fabric! Would you mind giving the information on the brand, etc?
Margaret
Hi, Margaret! Thanks for stopping by. I hope you come back to see this since I dont' have an email address to send this info to you.
That bunny fabric is called Tureen Garden in the color crimson & it's by Braemore fabrics. I think you can still find it. I have seen it on Ebay too, so if you do a search, I think it's still around online and in fabric stores. There are 2 other colorsways that it comes in, one being a limey green. I fell in love with this fabric the moment I saw it & still love it 6 years later.
Hope this helps!
Rhoda
LOVE the bunny rug! Your colors are fresh and exciting - a real treat for the eyes:)
Thanks for sharing!
Karen
Oh my this room is lovely too. You have beautiful things everywhere!!! The bling on the chandy is awesome. Love the bunnies too. I LOVE your home and Your taste is just perfect!!!
