Please vote -- new entryway light
Comments (28)Blue, I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the look that you're going for. You've got the school house lights in the kitchen and then the LR with sheers and a formal valance. The lighting that you choose is going to have to bridge those two. Your choices are very different from each other, obviously. I can't really see an ultra modern fixture next to either the LR or kitchen. I just took a look at RH to see what they had. The one on the link comes in a lighter pewter? (forget what they called the finish), too. Here is a link that might be useful: Entry light....See MoreNeed help choosing outdoor entry light(s)
Comments (20)It looks ok to me from the pic, but that is a weird perspective. I like that the new light more closely matches the size of the mailbox. In general, I look for a grid for alignment. The top of the light looks like it almost aligns with the top of the trim. It's ok if it aligns with the bottom of the trim. It is probably ok wherever it is. The top of the mailbox I originally thought should be lower. If it's easy to temporarily remove the mailbox, I'd try it top aligned with the top of the trim, or the bottom of the trim. Or 2/3 overlap could be ok. Then you have the flag. So I would just play with the mailbox position so you have the right amount of space for the 3 items....See MoreNew iron door is installed - now need new entry lanterns
Comments (66)I know you are waiting, but I'm going to put in a vote for the Kichler Ralston. I thnk the very strong, square lines of your house are plenty of linear design -- something with curves has more interest and the hanging lantern compliments the iron scroll work on the door. I like the rectangular lanterns very much, but they accentuate the straight lines of the house and the door itself, making the scroll work on the door an odd man out. The hanging latern wirh some curve brings it together. I also like that last lantern your DH doesn't, but I don't think it is right for your house. I can't put my finger on why -- contemporary -- a little too simple or delicate? Looks like it would be better against stucco rather than all the brick lines. You said you have other projects to tackle, but even if you didn't, I think it is good to look and leave -- come back at least once or twice. That helps me weed out things I like but don't love for my use or for the long term....See MoreOpinions on entryway lighting options for new build
Comments (3)It's already in Design Dilemma, so I think we can manage! ;) I am, however, not clear what your question is. You could wait for your preferred light to come in, and have an electrician come and install it then, using a floor lamp in the meantime. You could get a light you don't like quite as much. There are probably others out there, but you could make yourself crazy looking... https://www.lightingdirect.com/dainolite-arc-226c-archello-6-light-22-wide-single-tier-cage-chandelier/p2984893 https://www.houzz.com/products/globe®-65435-sansa-5-light-chandelier-with-hanging-cord-and-chain-dark-bronze-prvw-vr~84848077 https://www.amazon.com/Park-Harbor-PHPL5118-Chandelier-Rubbed/dp/B01CF49NFG/ref=sr_1_77?ie=UTF8&qid=1510328018&sr=8-77&keywords=cage+chandelier http://www.lampsplus.com/products/artistry-32-inchw-matte-black-and-satin-brass-6-light-pendant__35t21.html http://www.lampsplus.com/products/clara-27-inch-wide-black-and-antique-silver-5-light-chandelier__24j40.html https://www.lightingdirect.com/elegant-lighting-1492d22-marquis-3-light-22-wide-cage-style-chandelier-from-the-urban-classic-collection/p2911985# https://www.lightingdirect.com/nuvo-lighting-60-6261-4-light-24-wide-chandelier-with-metal-cage/p3226168 How long is the backorder on the one you originally wanted?...See Moremissouribound
