Are those electrical outlets on either side of the art?

It's where it's weird for sconces. There is an outlet behind the picture for garland or picture light above picture.

Just making sure it was wired for them! It would be a bear to try to make sconces work otherwise. I am thinking something with an oil rubbed bronze or black finish would go well with the rest of your decor, but it may not stand out well against the stone. I'll let you know if I come across anything!

Love that painting and the fireplace. What about something like these?

or these?

Yes, simple and rustic. Don't limit yourself looking at only interior sconces, look at exterior also.

There are quite a few that will work well, but I was kinda intrigued with these onyx ones from quoizel.

You'll need to get the scale (height and width) right in proportion to the mass of the fireplace. How much space is available for the width? Since your stone stack tapers, I would think you'd want to keep the height below where it tapers in. How tall is that space?

I see a fixture in the background over a table. Since it's in the line of sight, can you show us a close-up photo of that overhead light?

This is another I love and think would look great on your stone wall. It's by Capital Lighting, their Heritage Collection

Thanks everyone!

Yes, I was thinking simple and rustic as well. Concerned about the wrought iron showing up too.

Olychick, I saw your 2nd pic searching around and like those sconces.

Tibbrix, I'm always introduced to something new through you. I really like his work. And hearth accessories & the beeswax candle sleeves. The Ashley Norton hardware-- whoa, out of my budget!

Annie, those are very pretty!

Dyygarden, I guess it would help to see the other lights & space. I'll snap some photos, move in clutter & all.

Yes, Ashley Norton is expensive! But whoa is it gorgeous stuff. I'm glad I went ahead and got the Norton pulls for the refrigerator but also that I came to my senses and got Top Knobs pulls for the cabinetry!

I thought of wrought iron sconces because they go so well with stone. I was looking at your fire screen, which is black (if not wrought iron), which is what make me think wrought iron would be perfect, along with the chandelier hanging in the background. I also don't think you need the sconces to 'stand out', per se. They will when they're on, for sure, but the FP itself is the star, as is the fire (don't you LOVE real-wood fires? I've got one going now. Much more work, but they create such a nice ambience - smell, sound, etc.).

Here are a couple of pics with iron sconces on stone Fps to give you a sense of them. And for sure, whatever you get, put them on a dimmer.

These are also wonderful sconces, old-fashioned, with the mirror behind the light

There are cool!

That last one! Love it!

It just struck me, too-- that last one!!!

The way the bulb looks, more authentic, like a real candle & the handmade nature to it.

Im off to search for it-- please don't be expensive!!

That's a Laura Lee. Lampsplus.com. It also comes in a 25" height (below). That one is 13". also love the second one here. I think they're elegant. They definitely aren't cheap!

Peppa, go to lamps plus.com and put "Laura Lee Sconces" in the search box.

Check out Wayfair.com. I ordered Hudson Valley Lighting for my kitchen (and many more things for my renovation) and the prices, free shipping and return ease has been fantastic.

Ugh..........they are a little over my budget. I love them though!

i could possibly do it-- it's not like the Art & even the fireplace were inexpensive. And feel like I shouldn't scrimp there. But, they might make my Ballard designs(aka China) fixtures look cheap!! But I don't want China stuff there looking plastic. Ya know?!?

i also really like the blacksmith in MA custom ones. I'll call him tomorrow.

Tibbrix, would you post a pic of your chandelier, please? How's your kitchen coming along?

Dyhgarden, looking forward to seeing your home. Glimpses of it are so pretty!

These "wallchieres" are interesting, but out of stock right now on Wayfair.

Peppa, those bulbs that you liked in the pricey Laura Lee sconces above are available for any fixture that takes a small base bulb. The highest watt that I have seen them in is 7 watts. I've seen 3, 5, 6 and 7 watt. Here are some on eBay HERE.

OMG, I looooove your fireplace! I'm doing an accent wall in my living room with stacked rock almost exactly like your fireplace! I'm also using it as my back splash, to carry the design theme through, since my LR and eat-in kitchen is one great room. And I'm putting in a wood burning stove. I too love everything about a real wood fire...the ambiance, the way the heat feels, and most of all, the savings on the electric bill, haha! I'll make my money back in under three years, I think. A cord of wood, split, delivered, and stacked is still less expensive than running the furnace 24/7 in the winter here.

I agree with our fellow commenters about the wrought iron. Having played around a lot on my computer looking at that rock/brick and pasting stuff onto it, I can tell you with confidence that wrought iron will not be "lost" on your rock. As someone mentioned, especially not when they're on. Also, if you keep that painting there, which I really like, it's got a lot of white in it and I think that will set the sconces off beautifully.

I'd probably keep them on all the time. The extra electricity will be negligible, especially if you could find one with LED lighting. But either way, they're not using much electricity. I would not, however, put a light over the painting.

Hmmm...I'm trying to think of a way you could "try before you buy." If your local Home Depot, Lowes, or Costco has a good return policy, maybe you could buy a cheap black sconce or two. Take them home and have your DH or someone hold them up against the rock. You can then take a couple of quick pics from various angles and distances. Then return them to your local store. I think that might be one way you could see for yourself if the black would work for you before you buy something expensive and drill into your rocks.

It has to work for YOU. This is obviously a stunning focal point in your lovely home and you should be happy with what you get. If we all say wrought iron would look good, but YOU don't think it looks good, then phooey on us! You should smile at the beauty and be proud of your home! Remember, if it's beautiful to YOU, then it's beautiful! Same goes for the reverse. If you don't like it, then it's not right for YOUR living room. :-)

Oh, wanted to mention...I'm remodelling a whole house (it's a really small house!) and like everyone else, I'm on a budget. But I did build some extra $$ into the budget, first for if something goes awry, but also so I can get a couple of "splurge" items just because I love them. In the kitchen, it's a range with an induction cook top and an oven that you can switch between regular and convection. I also am getting the matching hood, with microwave that can be switched to another convection oven. In the LR, it's the wood burning stove, even though it's also a good long-term financial benefit, just because I love a fireplace!

So maybe you can give yourself permission to "splurge" on some really beautiful sconces that will add so much interest to an already interesting architectural element!

Hope this helps! :-)

satlnpeppa, if you love them, get them. If getting them means you can't pay your electric bill or heating bill, don't get them. But my thinking is, anything that is a fixture, will be there long term, is worth spending a little extra to get what you are "in love" with. It's in fact cheaper than getting something you're not and replacing them a few years from now. My suggestion would be to "splurge" on the Laura Lees and find a place to save elsewhere in order to make up the difference.

That blacksmith is in Maine, btw. Clayton Bryant is his name. He can also customize sconces for you, i.e.: add height or whatever. Maybe you can show him the Laura Lees and ask him if he can make something like them. Ask him for his shipping fees, also, though!

I'm thinking of changing my chandy! I want a more traditional one, with the arms. He has one I love. I'm mulling over a few.

Kitchen is coming along, slowly but surely. The wood counters have slowed things down. The fabricators accidentally cut two too short, so they had to order new wood and make new counters. I'm doing the staining and sealing and that takes a long time because of the time you need between coats of everything. They should go in next week, then I just have the backsplash and get the plumber and electrician back to hook everything up, and it will be done! Learning as I go along with the counters, i.e.: staining. Couple of mars so far, one by me and one by one the guy who brought the new counters back and accidentally scuffed the one I was working on. Did it over stain, so I couldn't sand it out! Aargh. But as we say in "It's all relative" land, "Oh well."

Thanks for the link to the bulbs, the most wattage I can find is 7. I can hear DH now, sh&&it she has another lamp/ lighting she keeps on all the time! Ha, he calls me the lamp queen--hate overhead lights!

Well, I guess if I can't pay my electric bills-- I do have a fireplace since it's cold & have lots of candles! They are sitting in my cart at way fair right now as I fine more to order! Wonder if they have a coupon code? I'll have to look.

Debbie, your remodel sounds lovely! Yes, always over budget! Hope you show us your progress.

Tibbrix, I'm excited about your kitchen! I chose a greenish gray for my cabinets also. The staining wood-- yes, a few hiccups with that too. Know it's all going to turn out beautifully!

Get them from lampsplus! They are much less expensive at lampsplus.com than at Wayfair. So excited for you! I think they'll be gorgeous on that FP and that you won't regret the purchase one bit.

If you buy them at Wayfair you can get 10% with free shipping.

I think they come out close.

Lampsplus.com: price is $352.91 plus free shipping and free returns. They have a $10 coupon at retailmenot on $150 or more, so $342.91 + the second at $352.91 = $695.82

Wayfair.com = $390.00 plus free shipping. I don't see the 10% off cmarlin refers to, either on Wayfair or on a coupon. Can you point to it, cmarlin? Otherwise, it's $780 from Wayfair.

If there is 10% off, then it's $702 from Wayfair.

And obviously make sure they're put on a dimmer.
