Dining area lighting

by brae Email

After all the fuss about the color of the dining table and chairs, choosing a light was relatively easy.  :D  I picked up this white chandelier from Green Gables Dollhouse.  I love this fixture.  I used one in black for the Newport dining area.  The white gives it a wonderful vintage feel without being too fussy.

The light isn't permanently attached.  Looks like I have the positioning a little crooked.  :]  I had to shorten the chain a little since this is a shorter ceiling height than the light must be intended for.  I will be covering the gaps between the ceiling and walls, as well as the holes at the bay window opening.

The light gives off the perfect amount of warm light to keep from losing the details I'm fussing over in the deep room.  The silver Revere Bowl by Clare Bell Brass also came from Green Gables Dollhouse.   I need to make some fruit for it.  :D

As I was sitting across the room writing this blog post, I noticed the light through the window and had to go back for one more photo.  :D

A handsome chandelier, Brae. It fits well in front of the window and on top of the dining area. It casts a spell of mystery when seen from outside. I love that first picture of your kitchen. It gives a good impression of the ensemble. I would be very happy in that kitchen. I can see myself cooking there and having a cup of tea at the table and once in a while looking out the window at mother nature.

Thank you, everyone! I'm so glad the warm interior is showing through the crusty, aged exterior. It's turning out just as I hoped.

It's a lovely little nook and I like the little peek through the window. Very cosy!
