If you shift it you may be able to swag the light onto the beam.

I like it shifted to the left.

Do either of you think the swag will look funny if it has to go further? It will be about another 12-15 inches if I hang a fixture from the next beam, when/if I shift the table to the left.

I think that it would be perfect hanging from the beam. In general though I think the table should dictate the position and if it is closer to one beam or the other that is secondary.

I agree with palimpsest.

Ooh, thanks so much. Now I need to pick a light. And a rug. And decide about that wall.
What do you think of this light:{{!gwi}}From GW Photos

It comes in the above color, which is cherry, whitewash, green, and gray, all of which I would consider.

I think I like the white for your room. You should get some sample chips before choosing a color, if you decide to get the light. One comment I consistently read in online reviews of these LZF lamps is that the representations online are not consistently close to the actual real life colors.

Thanks sas. I will order the samples, but I am in a holding pattern now. There are other aspects to the DR that I need to plan out, as well as some other projects to handle. Oh yeah, and work-LOL.
