Hi Casa,
I am loving this chandelier! It's the Martha Stewart Veneto Collection Five-Light Chandelier [1] ($699). It would be perfect for our dining room, which is currently undergoing a major renovation, but the hefty price tag totally breaks our budget. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi Tmws1y,
Thanks for thinking of me! I understand your heartache; that's a beautiful chandelier. And, I am loving all things milk glass [3] these days. Unfortunately, I doubt you'll be able to find a chandelier that is entirely made of milk glass like this one (oh Martha!), unless you take a trip to Venice. Although, chandeliers with milk glass shades are very common; see eBay [4].
To get a similar look, what I suggest you do is find a classic chandelier with curved arms like this one, and spray paint it in glossy white. I've seen plenty in this same shape at thrift stores, and have considered painting them myself. So, scour your local thrift stores and flea markets first. If you're out of luck, here are a bunch of more affordable chandeliers with similar designs:
