Lighting for 1923 Bungalow - Dining Room

11 years ago
last modified: 11 years ago
Hi - I am trying to decide on lighting for my dining room and the bookcases will be removed and replaced with half wall bookcases. I've got some period antiques. I'm trying to decide between the brass pan fixture and the two brass sconces, OR the black shower ceiling fixture with the edison bulbs and the mission sconces. Since it opens into the living room and the kitchen, I need it to coordinate. The Living room has a stained glass fan. The kitchen would get coordinating fixtures depending on the dining room fixture that is chosen.

    There should be more to that lighting family or do you not like the other pieces?

    I'd get 4 black lanterns to go in the kitchen with the black pendant over the sink if I go with the black shower fixture & Mission sconces....

    Oh - Funktional Space - Do you mean the existing chandelier? I have the full set but I am planning on using the full set in a more contained space, in the basement.

    Here is the other option for the kitchen if I go with the brass fixtures for the dining room - 4 school house semi flush lights and an antique pendant over the sink with milk glass

    Looks like you're moving away for the mission style? Restoration hardware has lots of beautiful lights, with the school house feel; if that's not in the budget.. your local lighting store will have tons of options! If you're in Saskatoon area, I would highly recommend Richardson's!

    I could go with something like this, but theres A $130 increase in price...would the edison pendant over the sink match this mission chandelier?

    Can you show me a picture of the one you're thinking for above sink?

    I'm caught between the Mission style (more of the lanterns and straight lines & modern) or the Arts & Crafts (a few more curves &more antique style).

    Yep! Here's the brass fixture if I go with the school house light and the brass fixtures in the dining room...

    This goes great with the school house! I know don't you wish lighting wasn't so expensive and inconvenient to change!!

    YES! I just wish I knew what direction would be best. I know that for new Craftsman style homes, people put in the modern fixtures to look like old Mission style lights, but I don't want to do my antique home a disservice by putting in the new fixtures when I have the opportunity to put in antiques. The Living room and the rest of the house has newer fixtures.

    The best direction is starting with one light that you love and then make all the others on that level of the house coordinate, they don't have to match :) Think of your lighting like you do your jewellery, if you would wear those earnings with that necklace and that bracelet then go for it! They all have to relate in some way, same colour, same style, same feel.. It's harder to mix and match but you get a more unique and interesting look!

    That's a very good point....the Mission set is all black fixtures - 2 have edison exposed bulbs, two have white shades. The other set is all brass. I think between the brass ceiling fixture for the dining room and the spider looking one, I like the spider looking one better...it's definitely an eye catcher...

    Any light that give a little touch of vintage should work. The Lamp Goods

    For what it’s worth, I️ just bought a 1923 Bungalow and the living room chandelier was almost identical to that brass pan one (second photo). I’m not sure what year I️t is, but the electrician said I️t isn’t compatible with modern electric without having I️t rewired.
