do you need the floor lamp? drapery panels extending past the window trim would be more attractive.

the dining table light should shine on the table, not the ceiling. 30 -36 inches above the center of the table.

Thanks for your help. More like this?

I love your little nook, but I think the curtains are just too much and take away from your beautiful wood windows. And now with the pictures squeezed in between the curtain and the door, it is not getting better. There is just too much going on in this cute corner.

I agree to get rid of the curtains. Then put up two photos on each wall.

This is what I ended up doing. I fixed the curtain panels. (I know some of you aren’t fond of them.) but I love them. I feel like it’s cozier in here and not so cold because there’s only blinds on the window.
