I wanted to replace the very basic "builders grade" light fixture over my sink with something that had a little bit more presence and wow factor. I fell in love with this light at Ballard designs - however it is too big for over my sink and it is $300 (plus shipping - yikes!)

They also sell it in a 12in size. It would look great over a table or in foyer as well. This is the "treasure hunt" part of decorating - it can be a whole lot of work (and time) to find something the right color/size/price but it is so rewarding when you do! One of the reasons I'm excited to do this blog is to share these little treasures with you!
I love the Lantern! It's beautiful! That's so great that you saw past the color and knew it would work with a fresh coat of black paint. Great work! I am dying to trade out our chandelier above our table but I am worried about a couple of things: the wiring (how difficult is it to trade out the fixtures) and then if a fan would look tacky there? I love the idea of cooling down the kitchen with a ceiling fan, but would a more modern piece look better? Amy, I could have a million questions for you...if you get time just email me. she_rachett@hotmail.com -Rach
