Chandeliers.....the rules are no more

It would seem that these days, when choosing a hanging light fixture, conventional wisdom and traditionalism have been tossed aside making way for fabulous, dramatic, funky, over-sized, colorful, retro, unconventional but beautiful chandeliers.  They are the statements in dining rooms, foyers, kitchens, breakfast rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms.  The cover of Elle Decor this month made me gasp.  How amazing is this light fixture?

What a statement this makes!
