French Grey Chandelier

 This small chandelier was found antiquing this summer 
and has been in my online shop. It didn't sell so I decided to give it a makeover. 
It was ornate gold in finish and quite lovely,
 but I am thinking the grey finish with champagne accents might be more appealing.
Grey is THE neutral color of the decade.
 This chandy has a lot of detail with rosette swags and fluted lines. 
The three strands of old crystals add nice sparkle~ 
It is an elegant little chandy, and came out of an estate in Old Naples, Florida.
 On the petite side, so it would be perfect in a powder room or small guest room.
 From bold gold....
To elegant grey~you can find it for sale by clicking here.

Oh, I love what you did with this chandelier. I have a gold chandelier in my dining room that I don't like ... mostly because of the color. Rather than buy a new one, I think I'll try painting it gray like yours. Thanks for the inspriation. I'm now a follower.

That grey is the same color as our kitchen peninsula. I think you made the right move.
