The crystals on this fixture make a dancing light on the ceiling and top part of the walls.  Everyone liked it so much I ordered another one to make a pair going down a long entry hall.  It really updated the hall with a contemporary elegance leading up to the chandelier in the dining room and complimenting the glass doors on the built in buffet on the way down.  I chose the French cream, which is a pale yellow green - not ivory.  It puts out quite a bit of light.  After seeing mine, my neighbor wants one, too!
