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.
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.
For the cooking area, I treated myself to a lovely Ray Storey pendant gas light. If I had had a larger budget, I would have bought the matching 3-arm down light for the dining table. But, the white chandelier is still a beautiful piece.
The gas light is very well made (though I neglected to straighten the top of the chain in this photo).
I love the way it highlights the textured ceiling. It’s the perfect vintage touch.
I don’t suppose in reality this dim fixture would do much good in the kitchen for nighttime cooking, but it casts such a wonderfully soft light over this part of the room.
