Wood Chandeliers

I still have not been able to make a decision on a chandelier for over our tub in the Master bathroom. I recently spotted this one from overstock - it is $145 and I really liked the look of it.

I also fell in love with this one from Ballard Designs (but did not love the $200 price).
Also found this beautiful one somewhere on line for about $400.

Pottery barn and Restoration hardware also have some beautiful wood chandeliers. I started researching wood chandeliers more and found this post on the Reloved Rubbish blog. I of course started trying to find an old wood chandelier to re-make for cheap but I am not having any luck.
Before and After

So today I went on the JC Penny website. They have a home store and every once in a while sell things for half off. Today was my lucky day I found this cute chandelier for half off - Reg. $150 Now $75 (and free shipping on orders over $69 yeah!).
I know it is not that similar to the wood ones I love - NOT YET at least! My plan is to do a paint treatment on it and add some sort of hollow wood spindle to the strait middle piece. I am now on the hunt! I'll post my results when I have some to show.

By the way this one on JC Penny is also half off (Reg- $300 Now $150) and I thought it was so pretty too. Restoration Hardware and Ballard designs have similar ones for much much more!
