This traditional 6-light brass chandelier is a gorgeous light fixture on a budget!
I'd been saying for months that I needed to pick out a new chandelier over the kitchen table. You see, the one that came with the house was an eyesore, but I hadn't planned on replacing it anytime soon.
Then a glass pane started to fall out. When we removed it, we realized the pane on the opposite side was cracked too, and it was probably a safety hazard to leave it hanging there.
So I set out on a mission to find the perfect casually elegant chandelier for the space. I shared all of my findings in my kitchen chandelier favorites post.
I had SUCH a hard time picking one!
Honestly, your comments on that post really helped me pinpoint the style and look I wanted. I even took a reader's idea about changing the light shades on this particular fixture, so I bought some extra shades for a unique flair.

Ta da!!
I present to you the gorgeous and easy-to-install 6-Light Traditional Brass Chandelier!
I'm obsessed!! Lighting is such an easy way to totally change the look of a space, and I'm so happy with how it looks in our kitchen.
I really was leaning toward a light with a seagrass shade. I love the coastal texture seagrass would bring to the space. But everything I liked was either out of stock or had only one light bulb in the fixture. I need lots of light over my dining tables, so a 6-light chandelier sounded wonderful.
In the end I ordered 2 different sets of seagrass shades to replace the white shade, but I sent them both back.
Why?
Well, during the day, I loooooved the look!
It was perfectly me.
But at night the light was so dim because of the darker shades, and I just couldn't handle it! I've got to see what I'm eating!
So, back to the white shades we went, and the seagrass shades went back to the store. I was so torn, but in the end I have to be able to see my food. I honestly love the white shades too, so it's a win/win.
Here's a side-by-side look, just for fun!

The broken light fixture in this room really pushed me to start the kitchen makeover next. Otherwise, I would probably have worked on a different room. But I'm so glad I finally found a light fixture I love for this space! It feels just right!
