I'm usually a diy gal but I'd hire a pro for this job. I say this b/c in the Columbus OH temple their chandelier fell and shattered everywhere b/c it was so heavy. It had hung there for 14 years before falling, but still. Heavy lights can cause problems even if hung by a pro., so I'd just hire an electrician on this one.

You'll probably need a 1-gang ceiling box with a metal T-grid hanger bar for support. The T attaches between and inside two joists (you may need to take out plaster/ drywall for this install). Most versions hold fixtures up to 50lbs.

Can't wait to see it all, I'm super curious to see if you tackled making the dining room table.

I just stumbled across your blog and saw this post which beyond excited me. I am in love with chandeliers and I must say I never thought of painting any (not that I have any to paint…woe is me…). Anyways, pale blue sounds nice though I think a light turquoise would be gorgeous as well.

Oops, commented on the wrong post. That was meant for the chairs you suggested :)
