When I went looking for a light fixture for my dining room I was looking to get rid of my old chandelier and replace it with a semi flush mount light fixture. Could find nothing on the routine web sites that appealed to me, but, I came across "Shades of Light" web site and their offerings were just a little different from all the other sites. You might try googling them to see if they have something that might be of interest to you.

I have bought several lamps from them over the years. They do have some lamps you won't see anywhere else.
Ok, I finally put that puppy to bed, so here's what it looks like. I still have some fussing to do with art and plants, etc. but you get the idea.
Great work! You got that fabric pattern centered perfectly on the window . I know that must have been a ton of work. The coverlet you chose looks very similar to the one I chose for my guest bedroom. I love it.
OK today we finally got the bid from our contractor to redo the kitchen, laundry room and powder room. Yes, it was as bad as we expected - and of course we know to just go ahead and add at least 10 percent more to it - probably 20 percent more. Oh well - at least it should be done by Thanksgiving! I'll start a Before/As Hell Breaks Loose/After thread when we start! Tentative start date is October 1.

can't rep you any more. Good luck with your overhaul and I'm looking forward to seeing the before, during and after pictures.

Can't wait to see what you do in the kitchen.
I think everyone right now wants it done before Thanksgiving, and all of the gc's around here seem overloaded. One guy couldn't even come out to give me a bid until mid October. One guy said he would be out the next day but called back that night and said he just had too much going on right now. I really want to use the guy who called back and said he had too much going on, so I may just put it off until after the "before Thanksgiving" rush.

Finished up guest bedroom with a new coverlet and some little things to set around:
Some partridges on one bedside chest - I use old garage sale Readers Digest books all the time for addded height :
Something for the dresser - I'm not very good at arranging, but I was determined to do it myself:
I also added some new prints for the frames above the bed and put a houseplant on a pedestal table in front of the window. I love houseplants. I think they make a house feel homey.
That was a fun project, but I'm done for a while.
