I like a Tiffany lamp with this style, a large one

I guess that would really cover the lots of colors if I found the right one!

I am sure these posts are annoying with no choices asking for help. I just feel at such a loss.

Is it crazy to just put up a flush light fixture? Then I wouldnt have to worry about anyone bumping their heads.

or maybe something like a track light?

I have a semi-flush light over the table my kitchen. I'd like a hanging chandelier but it won't work for a couple of reasons. I thought the semi-flush looked less like just a ceiling light.

I know you have eclectic tastes so I'm hesitant to suggest anything, but I wouldn't have picked that track light for your new table, which is gorgeous BTW!

Please don't be hesitant! :) I love your taste dee. I need a nudge in the right direction. It is just like I have a mental block with light fixtures.

Thanks on the table too btw. :) I am not sure if it was good or bad that I was the only bid on it at the local auction place! They broke up a whole gorgeous set which worked out really well for me since I had no use for the rest of the pieces. I am excited to get it home and see how it works. I dont' even think I will have to recover the chairs. BONUS! ;)

Will the light go directly over the table or elsewhere in the room? That would factor in for my choices.

First, I'm pretty new here so I don't know what your taste is or how your house looks, so these are just some wild ideas that I thought you might like if you like eclectic design.

Hate when I lose my post! Love that middle one forhgtv.

Mostly the table will be under the light (sometimes we have to move the table to keep DS from tipping over in his chair.) Good question. :)

this is an old picture of the area:

It's so helpful to see the room. Is that your kitchen to the right? Could you post a picture of it, too?

Yes, that is the kitchen.

That light in the middle of the kitchen will be gone soon too.

Terrific! Thank you for the kitchen picture. I think, after seeing your rooms, that you might want a simpler design as you already have a lot of texture, color and pattern in the room (which I love). Here are two other suggestions for your consideration. I don't like the texture of the shades on the second one, but I do like the shape.

Ooooh, how about a simple red, glass fixture.

Here's one that is a flush mount.

I like several of these, but forhgtv's last two are a favorite. The curly pasta ;) fixture will be a dust magnet and not easy to clean. Don't buy until the table/chairs arrive. Might help with the decision. (Your kitchen looks nice, btw.)

Ah, boopadaboo, how sweet of you. My first inclination was the exact same shape as those posted by forhgtv, a simple bowl shape. I was going to suggest white, but my taste leans to the very timid; her red suggestion is fantastic (but orange would be better, right?!). I think it has enough victorian to relate to the table and enough contemporary to freshen it all up.

Since that is kind of a deco-Tudor-revival set, have you looked at Tudor Revival or Romantic Revival lighting? 1920-1940?

I wonder if you would consider this one? It has the colors in your drapery and paint, and the shape on the chair backs and table, along with the striped wood, makes me think of scalloped feathers, which is what I searched for when I came across this light.

Tiffany scalloped

I think the light fixture you have would work with it, but you'd have to change the curtains. Those seem dark and heavy for the space and overwhelm the cabs flanking them.
Alternatively, you could paint the cabs a lighter color, but I like them as they are. They seem whimsical.
You may want to make sure you are not using light bulbs that are too yellowish. Try lower wattages in daylight or clear bulbs.
The simple red fixture would be nice too.
I still think that no matter which light you choose, the curtain is too much for the size of the room.

Thanks so much forhgtv. I really like that one with the shades too!

I am sure I could never afford that curlyque one Allison - so I won't have to worry about dusting. ;)

Orange is always better in my book Deeinohio. :) Not sure how that happened!

Palimpsest, I have not, I had no idea what kind of table set it is. The auction place didnt' put much info and I am clueless! I just knew the size was right and at $175 the price was way right. :) Love some of those. I have to look more closely now that you have helped with direction.

Les - I might just be in love with that light. Not what I have in my head for a typical tiffany, and I am drawn to it. I will have to show DH. It doenst have a ton of light I think, but maybe we can add in some more cans to help with that.

Dianalo - I really just don't like that light fixture too much. I am not going to bag it altogether, I am just going to move it. It just is kind of cheap looking and doesn't thrill me. I do like the whimsical nature of those cabinets. They are now mounted on the wall. The curtains match the curtains in the family room, I do want to leave it here. :) I know it is a lot of pattern. I will take a better picture this weekend.I also have an orange cover on the couch now.

I think DH is going to pick up the table and chairs the middle of next week.

Forhgtv.... even if it won't help the OP (sorry...)... would you be nice enough to give me a brand, a name, or the web site (any indications actually...) where you found the first chandelier in the first picture you posted in your March,16 at 15:09 post (the old world kind of thing with a black background)? I just love it.... could be perfect for my foyer...

Lynn

Hi, I pick this one (I have no problem spending other peoples money, just my own lol).

l_mtl Lynn, Here is the link to the chandelier you were considering.

Les' idea was brillant!

And here's another one too!

And a matching set of track lights for the kitchen ...

Thank you Forhgtv... I'm crushed... it is very expensive.... I don't think I can justify such an expense...

Lynn, I'm so sorry. I wasn't checking prices, but just looking at styles. You might use "empire" as a search term on one of the other lighting sites and see if you could find a similar fixture at a better price.

Boopad, I thought of you today while visiting some consignment shops. I saw lots of lighting that would work with your table. In fact, I thought of a few of you today! Nothing for me though as I'm pretty much convinced that the side table for my lonely chair does not exist. Boo, do you have any nice consignment shops around you? You might want to have a look. The ones left around me are a bit pricey though and many of the pieces are large scale mansion stuff. I think I may have to travel further south for the artsy fartsy table search.
