I have no problem with mixing metals. If you'd like you could trade out the candle light shaped bulbs and replace them with ones that match the dining room chandelier.

True Carol, it is a ceiling mount... simstress, how high is the ceiling?

You look like a minimalist when it comes to light fixtures. Personally, with the height of the foyer ceiling, the light fixture there looks way to wimpy and spindly for all that tall, blank wall space surrounding it. I would advise replacing it with a non-silver tone so at least it would be a little more noticeable.

I agree with Porter, the dining room choice would work best for an 8 foot ceiling and not higher.

I don't care the two different finishes in this application. Style wise though, they work together to me.

I assume that your future dining table will be the right size for this brass chandelier.

I think on the other thread you have, we have established that with the 10' ceiling in your dining room, while we love the gold fixture, it is probably not going to work properly due to rod lengths available. Have they given you an answer on that question yet? As to the entry piece, I like the shape, but it kind of disappears in the space, so something with a bit more "beefy" metal would be better.

Thx for all the thoughts! Clearly I haven't thought of all the aspects. I'll try to respond to each question.

Dining room has 10 ft ceilings. The chandelier does come with various rods, but I would still have to order add'l rods to get the drop to 36" above table. Will it look gangly hanging from long rods? The fabulous Flo Mangan was helping me with the math in an earlier thread: Love this light... under pressure... electrician scheduled.

Dining room is medium size I think... about 17x15. I'd probably use an 84x42 table or 96x42 table in there. I had not considered whether the fixture would be too big for the room and table. The chandelier is 17.5H x 11W x 38.5D -- less than half length of a 7 ft table. Will this proportion work?

Foyer: My foyer is really quite modest; not grand or soaring! I think the upward camera angle made the pendant seem smaller in the room. The space is 6x18-ish... basically the width of the double front door and going to the foot of the stairs. Ceiling height is about 12 ft at the front door and vaults up to the second floor which is 21 or 22 ft.

Foyer pendant is 22 in around and 28 in tall, IIRC. Should I have gone wider? I didn't want to visually clutter the foyer as it is only 6 ft wide. I don't like the frosted candle tip bulbs there; I will be replacing with clear bulbs. I may revisit this fixture for something that makes more of a statement. Perhaps a darker finish though I do not like black or dark bronze interior fixtures. (I like black/bronze fine for exterior.) Haha, I guess that limits my options somewhat!

So... I'm still mulling this over. Pls let me know your thoughts on the above! Thx.

@Flo: It comes with two 6" rods and two 12" rods. I'd have to order add'l 12" rods. I haven't been able to check whether rods are threaded. Do you think it would look unbalanced due to my ceiling height? I may need to ditch this one and look at chain fixtures only!

I really think that is the case. I hate to tell you that, because I know you love it and so do I, but I just can't tell you that multiple rods are going to work right with this fixture. I think we can find you something great. Plus, the size table you are contemplating, you will probably need something larger as well. Not meant to be. :( We can find a great one though, never fear!!

Just to catch everyone up, the dining room ceiling is 10' and this fixture is quite short overall and the way it is designed (I really don't know where they thought this would work,) but they have rods. With a 10' ceiling, we have calculated we would need rods for approximately 42" which would mean multiple rods on each side and it still wouldn't hang quite low enough. So, we need a great piece that hangs from chains for this ceiling height. Correct me if I missed anything there, simstress.

I think I would still call them next week and see if there is a way it could be modified to hang with chain. Never know. It will be hard to get this one out of your head!

Flo - That's about right... a chain fixture is probably the way to go. I would add that the dining light should work somewhat with the foyer pendant (though I may change that out later).

I feel like I've been dating this light fixture... it has some lovely qualities, and my dining room is gonna be great, but it's just not a good fit... I will have fond memories of it though. LOL!

I'm going to defer this decision for a while. I'll come back once I have some ideas for furniture and lighting. Thx again!

BTW, if anyone is looking for a light for 8 ft ceilings, the Emmett is intriguing, and pricing is not bad!
