Oh. My. Word!!
All I can say is…I’m in love with the new chandy! You know I could hardly wait to get that thing up…I absolutely LOVE it..it’s perfect over my breakfast table & of course, the green sparkly bobeche beads are staying! But then, you knew they would. They really set it off & besides, they match my kitchen. I can’t believe how this change adds so much sparkle to the kitchen…those little changes make all the difference in the world. (click all the pics to enlarge)
*Sigh*…it’s perfect. I asked my hubby if he liked it. He said, yeah, but I don’t like that sparkley crap hanging off there. 
I really like the shades that came with it too.
It really does transform the whole breakfast area. I can hardly believe the difference it makes in here. So, while we’re here, I’ll show you more of this little area in the kitchen.
You’ve probably seen my black table & chairs already. I’ve had this set for 5 years now & still love it. Painted the chairs black at that time & they have served me well. My red bunny fabric that I fell in love with then…haven’t grown tired of it either.
Here is where the little yardsale oil painting has landed. I quite like it here.
This antique cupboard is one of my very best antiques & one of 2 pieces I have that are really truly French antiques.
I found this at Scott’s Antiques Market in Atlanta back in 2001 & fell in love with it then. It was such a unique piece & I had never seen anything like it before. It is signed on the back by the French maker who made it. The patina on these old pieces cannot be duplicated. Once you have a piece like this, you want more. It has the coolest niche areas.
This is inside the middle door. I have all the original keys & they still work. See the notches for the shelves to be moved. Of course, that wire shelf didn’t come in there, I added it for extra storage.
See the patina up close…it is lustrous & magical..love this old hardware. Those French, they sure know how to make beautiful furniture.
The door has shadings of dark & light. I will never get rid of this piece.
And just thought I’d show you the bunny rug that matches my window treatment fabric. This was a lucky find!So happy to show ya’ll the new chandy. You can see it’s a perfect fit in my breakfast area & breathes new life in there. This is one of my best finds ever!
See below for what I’m doing this weekend. See ya’ll when I return from Nashville!
Don't Miss a Post, join my list!
Everything is just gorgeous! I love the colors. You have exquisite taste but somehow that doesn’t surprise me coming from a Southern girl.

I loooooooooove your house! I am a huge fan of green!!! (I collect blue & white china, and it looks great against green.) And your hubby sounds just like mine (“sparkly crap” lol – my hubby would say precisely the same words)!
Rhoda the chandy is wonderful and the “jewelry” adds to the charm!
You know, don’t you…being in Nashville over the weekend, just puts you that much closer to St Louis and the garage “sale of the century”!;-)

Thank you for the tour of your enchanting home. Oh la la!

Everything in the room is beautiful! That comment from your husband is exactly what my hubby would say… I love the chandelier and love all the fabrics. Just beautiful!:-)

Wow! That chandalier looks like it was made for your breakfast/dining room!…beads and all! I love your decorating style and love to see your new creations. Thank you for sharing that!
I love it too Rhoda! I think my husband would have said the same thing.

Be still my heart…..I LOVE that chandy!!! OH MY!! It looks SO awesome!! just love it all!!
Well you should be in love with the chandelier. It looks fabulous!
Have a great time in Nashville. Wish I were going, but we couldn’t get tickets months ago.
beautiful! I love your house!
Love your new chandy. It’s perfect. . . and I’d keep the dangly thingys too!! That’s what makes it so special : )
Your house is beautiful. We have similiar style/decorating tastes.
I love Beth Moore. Enjoy yourself and have a great time. I have not YET had the opportunity to hear her speak, but I love her bible study classes at our church. She certainly is annointed by the Holy Spirit and touches me in some way every time I hear her speak on her videos.
Have a blessed time.
Blessings,
Love that chandelier! It looks perfect in that room. (Also loving the room!). Hope you have a wonderful trip!
I AM SO TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH YOUR HOUSE!!!! (Like everyone else!) You’re so talented with mixing and matching. Absolutely beautiful.
Oh Rhoda, that was so fun seeing your breakfast area! LOVE the new chandy!
Don’t we just love seeing how all our little treasures all come together? Thrills me to now end!
