Bling Heaven - Chandeliers

Connected to the Mansion on Forsyth was the original home that was turned into a restaurant and a bar. The restaurant was 700 Drayton. The food was really good, but the service was not. I loved the interior of the restaurant. I never thought of orange and black as colors for home, but this place was amazing. Above is the lounge on the left upon entering. The central theme was orange, black and cheetah. The wildlife pictures were AMAZING!
This was the restaurant on the right upon entering. Those orange chests rocked! The orange chandeliers were icing on the cake.
This was a very cool seating area. Love to sit here and wait for my table. Those round windows had silver leaf over orange paint.
This is not the greatest picture, but the orange chandeliers were over orange bottles with lime green spiky flowers. There were beautiful burnt orange silk curtains over all the windows.
This chandelier was over the two chairs below. I instantly thought of FIFI when I saw these chairs!







Upstairs was a bar with live music. It wasn't crowded and it had a nice ambience.

This was a cozy, round private room. Chandelier is so different from the rest of the restaurant and hotel.
This was the $500,000 chandelier in the lobby of the Mansion of Forsyth Park. It is solid brass and hand blown crystal.

Chandelier in the women's downstair bathroom.
Chandelier in the ballroom. Each of these chandeliers was $250,000.

Chandelier outside ballrooms. Mounted in a recessed goldleaf ceiling.
Chandelier on a stick!
Chandeliers in all the hallways
Another shot of the chandeliers inside the ballrooms. You can see the ceiling better.
They had a tent set up outside on the patio by the pool for a wedding that was over the weekend. This beautiful chandelier was the centerpiece!
Looking up at the outdoor chandelier.

I hope you enjoyed your tour of the 2 million dollar chandelier collection and 700 Drayton Restaurant! Tomorrow we will tour Savannah.

Hi Janie! OH, my goodness - what over the top elegance! I love chandeliers and this place seems to have plenty of them!
Oh, I'm so glad you popped in to visit! I feel I've cheated just a tad. All my comments haven't just come today. I had this post up for the Let There Be Light Party and you're seeing all of the comments together! Man, it sure does look good, though, seeing all those comments!

I love seeing your versions of the same subjects I shot on the trip. It's cool to see the different perspectives and differences between our cameras. Beautiful pics Janie. We certainly saw a lot of beautiful things and places on this trip. I feel spoiled, in a good way.
