Lighting is one of the mos important aspects of any home. I mean can you imagine your house without it? Since I have been working on redoing the house I thought I would look at some new lighting as well. Our living room only has the lights on the ceiling fan and that is it. Above the kitchen cabinets are some fluorescent lights but they have blown out and I haven’t replaced them yet. Hubby is so tired when he is home that I don’t want to ask him to do it.
I discovered 1800Lighting and wanted to visit a showroom but since I am in Georgia I had to settle on visiting their website. I spent some time searching around at the different lights they had trying to decide if I wanted a lamp or new chandelier or something else. I discovered that they sell light bulbs including those fluorescent ones so I know some items I will be ordering.
Finally I decided that I really love this Maxim Lighting 85804 Linda EF Energy Smart 19 Inch Single Tier Chandelier for my dining room. I was looking to change the one that is currently in there because I will be getting a new dining room table soon and I wanted to update the 1950’s one that is currently there.I was looking for something that would blend a little better with my farmhouse table that is coming soon and would work well with everything else. The Maxim Lighting Chandelier seems like the perfect fit for our home and our lifestyle. I love that it can blend with the farmhouse cottage look that I am going for (sort of shabby chic) but would also look great for more formal needs as well. The Oil Rubbed Bronze color makes it perfect for any color scheme since I have decided what color I am doing the dining room in. What do you all think? Is this perfect for my farmhouse cottage look?
If you think a another style would be better I would love to know. Visit 1800Lighting and come back leaving the link so I can check it out. When a style has been decided upon (100% completely because hubby is not sure yet) then we will post pictures and if we choose a style that is different but suggested by a reader will give that reader a $50 Visa Gift Card as a thank you. No matter what style we choose we know 100% that we are choosing a style from 1800Lighting!

I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

I love this chandelier and I also noticed on their site they have flush mount lights fixtures for $11 what a deal!
Love this chandelier, where are currently looking to change three of our they have been in the house since we bought 11 years ago I think it time for a change. Their website has so many designs it’s so hard to pick thanks for the review
Love your choice. its amazing how lighting fixtures can make a room. i think mine need an upgrade
I love your choice. We need to update our light fixtures in the bathroom.
I do like your choice for your decor. I have SUCH a time picking out lighting that is not too modern and not too antique y. I am looking to replace SHINY BRASSY lamps and lighting in our house that is 18 years old. Plus, I have been looking at the kensington brand outdoor lighting. Our garage lights have actually melted and not safe to even use. I’d sure love some quality lighting like this in our home. I like that the one you chose is not overdone. so many Chandeliers are 4, 5, or more lights and of course if you have a HUGE room it’s fine, but I think some look too “powerful”. in typical house.
I love this! It’s very much my style. I like a well decorated home, but my budget is limited. *sigh* So the first thing is paint–big changes for not much money, if you do it yourself. The next thing are the details like lighting. I collected fixtures. I placed a chandelier similar to this in my own dining room. A little later I bought a ceiling light in a similar style for my entry way. Eventually. I had lovely new lighting fixtures, collected one or two at a time, in all the public and guest areas of the house. Now for my bedroom…
Love the light fixture that you chose! We need to get a new entry chandelier, so I’ll definitely check their site out.
I love this chandelier! I wish I could get it for our house. I think it would match the house better than the one we have now..that actually came with a house when we got it..
i just recently found out about this company prior to your review. they have an extensive collection, I already have a few items on my want list, their prices are not bad either
