Romancing the Bedroom

Imagine just how romantic and relaxing candlelight is in a bedroom and you
can understand why we searched for this candlelit chandelier. One accessory like this antiqued gilded Florence Chandelier and the entire mood of the room can be transformed. It is the perfect size for a bedroom.

We used a two inch satin ribbon to hang the chandelier and added a ribbon bow to hide the ceiling hook. You may want to consider a fabric that coordinates with your room to hang the chandelier or some decorative cording. Add your candles and you have created a cozy retreat.

I have several hooks in different corners of my cottage and often use this chandelier in different ways. With a quick change of ribbon and candle color I can create an entirely different look from the same accessory.
