I haven't hung this yet-bought it early in anticipation of my beach house completion. I did open the box and the white wash looks great. There is a darker undertone beneath the white which gives it more depth and there is no particular metal color, which I love. This was purchased for the dining area, then the hallway but it may now go in a large powder room with 10 foot ceilings for a "wow factor". Will update with picture when it's hung!
