[quote=Anonymous][quote=EyeCandyOP][quote=Anonymous]Eye Candy, you are amazing! I need to get overhead lighting fixtures for two rooms adjoined by an archway: a dining room and a mostly open library/play room.

I'm gravitating toward a somewhat traditional chandelier over the dining table, but don't know what to do in the room next to it, or how the fixtures should be coordinated. Any ideas for inspiration?

The room connection sort of looks like this (but I do not like this lighting fixture at all, and have a larger rectangular dining table):

The dining room currently has oil-rubbed bronze wall sconces, which I like, and a cheap tiny builders chandelier that must go. The adjoining room has zero lighting at present. We need to furnish the library room, too, which is giving me trouble, but now that it's dark so early my pressing concern is lighting. Thanks for any ideas![/quote]

So it sounds like you are looking for two lights, one chandelier for over a dining table and one that might be flush or semi-flush for the library/play room adjacent. I LOVE lighting and would be happy to source some options, but aside from knowing there's oil-rubbed bronze fixtures already in the dining room, I don't know what your style is. Tell me what if you are traditional, contemporary, modern, etc. [/quote]

Thank you, Eye Candy! I am here. My style is.......new traditional + global organic eclectic? That's what a couple internet quizzes tell me. I'm pretty new at this.

The house is a Queen Anne Victorian with all the indoor trim. The current dining room furniture is an inherited traditional dark wood dining room set. The existing oil-rubbed bronze wall sconces look sort of like this:

Starting from scratch I probably wouldn't go so traditional with the furniture, but I love the history and can't afford to replace anytime soon anyway. I'd like something that fits in with that traditional style but is not too fussy. The dining room is a deep red. Light hardwood floors. The adjoining room is white and pretty plain so far, white bookshelves, remote learning desks, and a piano keyboard. No lighting apart from desk lamps because we can't decide. There is a ceiling box to put in something overhead. When looking at lighting on-line, my kids gravitate to things with lots of crystals, which I'm open to.

Thanks for any tips![/quote]
