The Look for Less – Turquoise Beaded Chandeliers

One of my favorite clients, Beth, has had both of us on a quest for a fun chandelier to be used over her existing dining table. The color scheme for her home is blue on blue on blue – all shades blended together. Think Florida beach without a nautical twist.

In our search we found this amazing light from Currey and Company. The price, well let’s just say retail is well over $4,000.00. While this fixture is perfect, we had to look for something similar in Beth’s budget.

So here is what we found from Junk Gypsy Company – the Wanderlust Chandelier. The price – only $395.00.

Perfect – the search is over!

Neo-Classical lines, a dash of Hollywood glamour, and a top note of Mod moxie from Jonathan Adler. The Channing Desk is a piece to covet at a cost of $1,950.00.

Not quite in your budget? Wayfair has an almost as cool (ok, close enough for those of us watching our pennies). The Sector Writing Desk has similar lines and finishes but not a similar price. Check this desk out for a mere $315.99!
