First, let me say that I love that style of pendant light, and would LOVE to have that in my home over my kitchen table. That said, I don't see it in your space. I think it helps with the modern vibe, but doesn't bring in the cottage feel at all. I found a few that I thought might work - the first is perhaps too cottage for you, but I think the espresso finish and clean lines give a more modern take: solway twisted iron chandelier The next one is an all-time favorite of mine, and I think would bring a nice mix of modern and more cottage into the room, but it is much more expensive. Perhaps there is something out there similar in feel: kensington chandelier Finally, I think this one would be great in there. jonquil pendant chandelier As for the windows, I don't think it matters if the two styles are different, but I would keep them more similar in color weight - both on the darker side or both on the lighter. SInce the two rooms are so visible to one another, I think you want balance on the two ends, even if the two treatments are styled differently. I would mount the drapery panels on the outside of the window area in the front, so that almost nothing of the actual windows is covered. Those two small wall spaces on either side aren't really that useful, and would be a great way to visually widen the space by having the panels on either side wall.

Hi all, Thanks for continuing to play with me. I'm taking some of your advice and posting a photo board without the rug. I'm really not a brave person when it comes to decorating and the "black" dining room is really out of character for me. My home is very boring in other aspects, hence my desire to have the same drapes in both the dining room and the study across the hall, which limits things some as the dining room is black and the study will be a blue/green/gray. Both rooms currently have that same brown/cream/gold rug also. When I first started on this decorating journey is was with the intention of ivory drapes. But while at the store looking for a sample I came across these blue/gray ones which I really liked with the wall color but not the chair and rug. (You can see both the ivory and the blue in the photo below.) Then I started looking for rugs and found the one pictured here, however I decided as much as I like the color of the bluish drapes I didn't like the pattern that competed with the chair pattern. Sooooo, when I found the stripe I thought, EXACTLY and I still really like it. I'm going to try to get back to the fabric store and buy 1 yard just to live with for a few days. Otherwise, I think I may just have to go with the ivory or an ivory stripe like cami's above so that it will work in both rooms. I'll keep looking at fabric in my spare time though. Hopefully something else will catch my attention AND be in my price range....

I've shopped the LA fabric district for over 20 years-both for decorating and apparel. Michael Levines on Maple and 9th has always been my first stop. One side of the street is decor and the other is apparel. There is also a loft where they sell by the pound, but I never made it up there. I've also found good prices and a mix of decor fabric at Home Fabrics (homefabricsonline.com), but the closest location is Cerritos, which is a way out from LA. Last suggestion is Threads Magazine did a great article on fabric shopping in the LA area in their Feb/March 2013 issue. While downtown has undergone a huge upgrade as people have moved back into the general area, this part of town is still pretty dumpy and there are not many options for eating, so just plan ahead. Michael Levines does have a restroom. Edit: F&S has beautiful stuff, but it's expensive. I've never been to Diamond Foam & Fabric. This post was edited by 1929Spanish on Sun, Nov 24, 13 at 18:21

t is sometimes impossible to find exact fabrics since designers often have prints made for certain projects. If you google fabric with daisy print on blue background there are many.;The fact that it is from awhile ago is also an issue. As long as it is just the colors and the daisies you might find something that you love .
