Shedding more light on the subject....

COMMONWEALTH DESIGNER EXTRAORDINARE, Melissa Chernick, sent us options for our dining room fixture yesterday. We're not sure what we're going to pick. We're going with simple Mission Style table and chairs, clean lines, so keeping that in mind she offered us these 5 choices...whaddathink?

OPTION #1: I like this one a lot, but like the nickel plated one better.
