Crystal chandeliers are typically reserved for a formal dining room or foyer - so I love when homeowners "break out of the box" and introduce a little bling in unexpected places! Even though the chandeliers above are in dining rooms, each room has an eclectic vibe (along with some iconic clear chairs) which lends a quirky, not stuffy look to the sparkling light fixtures.

I'm totally smitten with the idea of a chandelier in the bedroom - it brings a certain sense of romance and drama, don't you think? Especially the one on the left - the proportions are so grand that one must feel like royalty when sleeping in that bed.

And heck, why not try a chandelier outdoors? The rustic barn on the left looks so lovely and charming for a wedding reception. (Getting married in a barn doesn't seem so bad.) And I love love LOVE this covered outdoor dining area that's highlighted by a classic crystal chandelier. When a designer can make two seemingly unrelated things (a patio set and crystal chandelier) work together, I consider that a huge decorating success.

We hope you have a fantastic long weekend that's full of rest and relaxation - and of course, design daydreaming!
