Need DR chandelier for off center outlet
Comments (15)HELLO!!!! Hoosiergirl!!! Now that I know there's a way to center or, that it will still look ok to swag it, I like your idea to start another thread solely for rusty chandeliers. And I hope you too are enjoying your new home and getting settled. Your home is still one of my all time inspiration favorites. It's amazingly beautiful. cyn10 Thank You! We're in a canyon with mountains both front and back. For a SoCal girl it's pretty cool to have "fall colors" and that occasional weird white really cold stuff. :) Our table is hammered copper. Right now it's on an iron base but after Christmas I'm doing a wood pedestal. Our kitchen, LR and DR are all one big room and you see that table when you first walk into the home so the iron base is a bit patio for me. annz I really would prefer two pendants. Now that I have a little more understanding I can at least ask the electrician (who is good even if he can't find center) what he thinks. And I think I now know why DH is fighting the pendants so much, he doesn't think there will be enough light given from them. lionors No, there is absolutely no room for anything in that space other than the table and chairs. We had a huge dining room in our other home and NEVER used it in 20 years. I wanted instead a "dining-nook" but didn't realize it was going to be this small. Counter to window is only 9' and with people seated it spans 8' AND I still need swing room for the exterior French door. johnmari and Okmoreh Thanks! that might be a big help! And Okmoreh, I LIKE that lamp. Might just work for us. :)...See MoreHelp on fixing an off center chandelier
Comments (5)If I understand your dilemma, Amanda, it is not too invasive to move the electrical box, Electrician puts a new hole in the ceiling over your table and fishes the wires to a new junction box. As for the old hole in the ceiling? You buy a ceiling medallion large enough to cover the old hole. Just make sure the chandelier wires go through the medallion before attaching to ceiling....See MoreChandelier off-center
Comments (6)Generally, ceiling and wall-mounted lights include a mounting ring (example). You attach the mounting ring to the electrical box and the fixture to the mounting ring. The orientation of the electrical box in the wall or ceiling, and the light are thus made independent....See MoreWhere to hang a chandelier in an off center living room
Comments (3)Typically the electrical box would be centered in the room, and on the CL of the fireplace. Maybe that works with your current layout but maybe not. I lowered the art over your sofa. Some type of lighting over the art could be a good thing....See Moresusieq07
