If I go with the PB Gothic I should select the Artcraft for the foyer? Or, should i select the HD Hurricane Light I could use the Hundi semi-flush. I definitely see the can lighting as best solution for kitchen, I sure with it was as big as the pic you put up Case Design. Can you tell me the countertop material used. Unfortunately, the cabinets are so old (they were a very ugly stain that I painted) there isn't enough lip on them to discreetly mount any undercounter lighting. I am getting prices for new granite tops for our next big project. My poor husband say's, "This is a vacation place and all I do is work when I'm here?" What can I say there always improvements to make right? You all are so great with your suggestions, I do appreciate it. If you can take a look at my other "Discussion" tops titled "Help Fellow Houzers", it is a very old 1920's house we are rehabbing and I have posted a few questions on it. It is a very cool old old bungalow type house. Linda

about 30 inches Most dining tables are about 30 inches high. Chair height is generally 18 inches (from the floor to the seat). This allows for comfortable lap and leg room. A general rule of thumb is to allow at least 12 inches between the seat of your chair and your tabletop.

I don't think the table is too small. I think that the light fixture is too big for that table. Adding a chair to each end may help as well, and an area rug that fits the table and the chairs when they are pulled out, will help to anchor it and create a 'dining space'. I think you're off to a good start. Changing the window treatments to draperies or something a little softer will eliminate the block look they have now, that may also be competing with the table shape/size.

Consider putting ceiling flush fixture on that back junction box and hang a linear fixture over your table. Recessed lighting is very harsh for dining.
