Unwanted unique chandelier

3 years ago

A few years ago we bought a fairly unique chandelier. It’s an oversized statement piece that was designed to go in a really high double height entrance, except we didn’t move into the house we bought it for! It’s still in the box and I wouldn’t even know where to start selling something like that, I’m sure eBay and gumtree aren’t the right platforms, just wondering on thoughts on where and how to sell. What are peoples thoughts....and yes I’ve learned my lesson on impulse purchases!

Actually I have been able to sell things for over £1000 on EBay so it’s a good marketplace. You do reach a wide audience but the fees can take you by surprise. Personally I don’t like Marketplace because when I have tried to sell on it I have been bombarded by questions from people who you never hear from again.

I use Gumtree a lot, sometimes successful and sometimes not, but there are no fees so my perfect place to sell stuff! I agree with Jonathan, Facebook Marketplace is full of time wasters and, lately, scammers! I’ve never sold on eBay but they have all sorts on there including antiques. The other thing you could try, once the shops re-open, is small, quirky home shops. Many buy as well as sell.

Just a quick note to thank you all for sharing your thought, ideas, experience and time. I especially want to thank Bluenan and decoenthusiaste for being with me through the all process for the last 6 months or so..., just wanted to post few photos of the results (https://www.houzz.com/discussions/any-ideas-for-final-touches-to-this-living-dinning-room-dsvw-vd~569586) as I feel it is not only me who created this space but it is your creations as much as mine. It may not be perfect or according to the the "Rules", but it is Me and my family. Each and every piece was chosen by me in different parts of the world and each one of them has a unique story behind. I am very pleased with my space. I love it! I am very blessed. .... and so I am off to my new project now... Back to school.... that's really going to be hard ;) Thank you all, once again.

Sliding door/ divider ideas

With a sliding door, you can have each side different to match the style of the room it faces. Here are some ideas that, believe it or not, are done with sharpies on flat surfaces. I can envision a "fireplace" on the lounge side. On the dining room side, you could do the "double door" look, by putting half on the door, and half on the wall next to the door. So when the door is closed, it looks like a pair of doors, but when the door is slid open it looks like only one door (but it's the wall!) I added the 3rd picture just because I think it's so cool. I believe the only "real" thing in the room is the glass table/desk, and the filing cabinet.

main ceiling lights for traditional dining room and kitchen

if you're not going to center the dining room table under the light, then I'd tend toward a flush or semi-flush fixture, to de-emphasize the alignment. You might want to remove the medallion from the ceiling too. As for the kitchen it looks like you have decent overall lighting -- maybe you're looking for a couple of pendants over the island? simple glass globes, maybe? here are a few styles to start you out.

Hi Marie. It's difficult to tell how wide the room is but a round table could work at the foot of the stairs. Dress with a large bowl and plants/flowers etc. you could also try hanging 3 chandeliers or pendants down the hall. I would also have either 2 matching consoles opposite each other by the front door or keep your existing and add some seating opposite to create symmetry. I think if you were to dress the console with bigger items it would stand out more ie ginger jars on the bottom shelf, classic urns, plants etc on the top. Once you've got the basics done and budget permits, you can add further floor standing decorative pieces, a small chair etc. I think you definitely need some tall art by the front door though or even mirrors if you're not keen to add art
