Niche ModernTerra Pendant with Plumen 001 Light

My better half and I (OK, mostly me) have been looking for months for the right light for our dining room. We have a beautiful hand blown light picked out from Niche Modern but it’s a bit more money than we want to spend at the moment. We noticed though that they have factory sale in April so our plan is to do a road trip.This means driving about 5 hours, spending money on gas, food and a hotel, and then saving some money on the light. Ya, it will probably even out, but it will be cool to go to the factory to see how they are made. And save some money.

So in the meantime, we need a light. Now I’m a Craigslist hound and have been able to discover some pretty good finds along the way.  Unless you type in the word “chandelier” in the Craigslist search bar. You’ll get thousands of chandeliers. Most are ugly which is why they’re being sold to begin with. So in the interest of sharing, I’m posting the pics of a few of the special ones. If you find them attractive, don’t be insulted that I don't. 

Crystal Chandelier from Prague for Sale-it is gorgeous and very unique. 
I no longer have room for it. Call xxx-xxx-xxxx. New price - great gift for Christmas

$300

I think it needs to go back in the box. And sent back overseas. And fall off the boat...

$65

Based on the date on the picture, after over a year of trying to sell it, I think they need to just wrap it up in that cloth. And  throw it away.

$175

Antique Oman Chandelier

Rewiring needed

Cash only, thanks

I'm not sure I would want something that looks like a cremation urn hanging over my dining room table. Put it back into storage. For another hundred years.

Free Chandelier with frosted glass. You can also have two matching sconces not pictured if you want. All free.

There is a reason for free. I wonder if it will fit in the trash can behind it?

I think I'd be taking that little gong hammer and plinking away at each one of the crystals until it was all gone.

Showstopper? Unforgettable? There aren't enough words in the dictionary to describe this one.

There is a reason why it's 1 of 1.

The One

After lots of searching this is the one we found and are going to put up temporarily. It's a heavy brass chandelier with six lights and it's not at all like the pendant that we want but we need something in the mean time for lighting. I like it and I think it will look good until we get the Niche Modern pendant that we really like. And for $100, it was a "good find". 

Although Mrs. OSH really did not want a brass one, I think she half believed me that brass was making a come back. And I convinced her it will work until our road trip which I promised to make. 

I'm sure she won't forget that promise.

Enjoy  your weekend.
