could you give us a pic of your bedroom?

Here you go Olygirl, it's not a good picture but you can see a touch of the dreaded fan on it . Basically the fan is at the bottom of the bed and centered between the two posts. It's from my iPad so I hope it is right side up!

Oh, of course, now I remember, but I think it will help you get more opinions to have it posted here.

It's really hard with these things because they are so taste specific. The one you linked isn't one I would choose, but I think it's mostly because it looks too small and the wrong shape for a center of the bedroom ceiling light. It's only 10.5" and that seems more suited to a hallway to me. But maybe that's wrong.

Because you have some bling in your mirrors and bedside lamps, I might choose a quieter, plainer ceiling light, maybe semi flush, so the bed continues to be the star in the room.

Oly, I agree that plainer would be better. I also think a hallway would be a better place for that particular light. I don't like overhead lights but need something. The fan doesn't work anyway.

I am just going nut trying to find something that I like. You all have such great taste that I was hoping for suggestions.

Would something like this work?

Here is a link that might be useful: This

You might miss having a ceiling fan--why not just a small, simple white one?

Eibren the fan hasn't worked in years and I just bought a whole room circulating fan because I am always hot. I definitely would go all white if I replaced the current one for another fan. I may go that route if I can't find a light.

Holly-Kay, if you really like your kitchen lamps, why not use them again, IF that is what you really like?

The lamps you picked are pretty. I am not sure about what size you need. Here are a few I found, but I think some may not be big enough-- not sure:

Oh, I like that second one Anele found.

Maybe something like this that is a little more contemporary, yet still harkens to the traditional and it's only 15" high so it might work with your ceiling, esp given the location...

Or if you don't mind washing crystals...

I don't think you have too many "clowns" in your room at all and a dressy light would work perfectly.

What is a "clown"? I thought that was a typo until I saw the second reference, and now Annie's.

A clown is an attention getter.... a fancy, standout, in your face, piece in a room. One, or a few, standout is fine, but too many and it looks like a circus. It can be anything...a printed fabric, a piece of art, an accent wall color, a heavily embellished piece of furniture, fancy wallpaper...

EG, this room has a single clown (not the kitty)

You all are great! Wonderful suggestions and I like all of them.

Tib, the clown reference started, I believe, in the kitchen forum. It basically meant too many things saying" look at me".

Thanks for the explanations, Annie and Holly. Great term.
