Update on my Ugly Fan


      In an effort to reach the goal I set for myself,  I have been on the search for a chandelier to replace that ugly fan in my bedroom.  Here is what I am working with:

1.  The ceilings in the room are 8ft, so I am a bit restricted in my choices. 
2.  I don't want it to be too feminine because I want the master bedroom to be a retreat for my husband as well.  
3.  I am working with existing lighting that I love--a brass floor lamp between two chairs in a nook on one side of the room and two bedside lamps made of old iron fragments that still have a little bit of creamy paint still on them on the other side.

Very amateur photo of my bedroom.  You can see where the new fixture will go.
 I know that the height of the chandelier is important.  I don't ever want anyone (and by anyone I mean my dear, sweet husband who is almost 6'2") to bang their head on it and curse my name!  I am also really open to the design of it and the materials used to make it.  I tend to favor an eclectic room.   I went to my two favorite sources--Circa Lighting and Currey and Company and here are a few options that I have found...
1.  Dark Iron and Silk

2. Silvery Gold with Shades

3. Old Wood with Iron


4. Iron and Gold Lattice Drum

5. Beaded with Gold Accents

6. Gold/Brass Six Arm Wide

7. Gold/Brass Six Arm Narrow
I really like them all, but I think I know what I a leaning towards.  Which one would you vote for?
