2ND TIME AROUND TUESDAY AND NIFTY THRIFTY TUESDAY - A CHANDY

Thank you Diane at, A Picture is Worth 1000 words, for hosting a great way to share our thrifty finds. 

Thank you Linda at, Coastal Charm, for hosting your Nifty Thrifty Tuesdays meme as well.

Please visit Diane and Linda's blogs for some great fun with bargain hunting treasures.

A couple of monhs ago I posted about a chandelier that I bought at an auction for $25.00.  I put white shades on the lights and I decided to change the shades to black.  I want your opinion to tell me which shades you think look the best.

First the white shades

 

 

New black shades

 

I took this photo at night so it is hard to see it in the same light as the white shades.

 

I added a daylight view this morning.

 I want your opinion please.

Happy thriftying.

Love, Jeanne

Well my opinion, the only one that matters, LOL is white for the summer/spring, and black for winter/fall. There now that's settled : )
Just got off the phone with Julie, Manon and CC tonight. It was a girlfriend day/night. Now I'm talking to you, not on the phone, but here on your sweet blog...and I'm first so I better post this before someone beats me to it.

I think the black looks richer but that may be because of the lights being on. The summer/winter mentioned above does seem like a good compromise. You could also decorate the white ones with some beads or cut outs if you wanted to. I'm the last person to say anything about decor- I still haven't found drapes for the Florida place. Not because I'm picky but because I can't remember to get them.

I love them with the black....definately!

The white is clean and crisp, accentuating the silver, and looks just perfect over an afternoon, Springtime table.

The black lends a more sophisticated look for day, and somehow accents the golden light of a Harvest dinner in Autumn.

They're both just lovely, and what a wonderful find!

Thank you so much for following my blog! I'm following you right back!
I vote for the black shades hands down. But that's b/c I love. love black accents. Your artwork and decor look to have deeper tones and the black just carries it through. Very pretty!

[tammy]

oops..just remembered you don't have a following button. Well, I enjoyed visiting your blog. Hope to come back soon!

[Christine]

The black is very dramatic. I vote for drama. Your room is lovely.

[Rondell]

I am so thrilled to find your blog, just love your blog name too!
The chandalier looks wonderful both ways and I would keep the black shades for winter and use the white for spring by then you will be ready for a change.
Have a wonderful day,
Rondell

The black looks great for the winter but maybe red for the Christmas season oh well something to think about and look for HA! Good Will here I come

love Carmen

[Melesa Garrison]

I love both, but I'm going to go for the black. I think the black works well with what I could see in the background.

[The Muse]

assuredly, the black ones...
why?
well they fit the room....
they offer a wink of sophistication while still being warm and inviting...

BLACK!!!! That color looks super with your other decor.

You got a deal on that chandelier!! You are the Queen of Deals, Jeanne!

Hope all is well...it's warm and windy today...getting ready to go jog, then get my hair trimmed.

Catch ya later!!! L, Dana

I like them both. I have chandeliers with both on them, and I really and truly like them both, Jeanne. You can't go wrong either way!

XO,

Sheila :-)

[deb newton]

I like them both! LOL
The white is clean and crip while the black is dressy. Depends on what you like tho. You really can't go wrong :)

I think I like the black ones best, but it is great that you can change them out!

Thanks for joining in on 2nd Time Around!
