So that's it.
If we did not move forward with your fixture or couldn't get it for a while, here are some thoughts about dining room lighting.
First, let's look at some images that I have saved for the dining room in general, not thinking about lighting, to see what people and what rooms I like have in common. Don't say 'that piece doesn't work for us" I'm just gathering intel about what works.
I'd like to bring in some of that modern traditional, early American vibe where you can't quite place the period. Like not too costumey vintagey or farmy, but not too modern either. If modern, then should lean more Danish simple than space age.
I can go lots of different directions here. My desires:
-not too modern
-maximize light since that's the darkest spot in the area
-Create some levels
-bring in different color/material. I don't think some dark metal would be amiss. Shouldn't be too matchy with kitchen lighting. Some brass ok.
-I love the look of a big dome pendant but I understand that the downward light is a problem, which is why some kind of chandelier (loosely defined) might be better
Let's throw some spaghetti at the wall, shall we?
