Flo, I wanted to show you what I ended up doing with lighting fixtures. These are E.F.Chapman Flemish sconces and a foyer fixture that I found at Ballard Designs. The sconces came with shades, but my DH has a thing about shades and I in this application, I think he may be right. But, don't tell him:) This is the dining room fixture that I also found at Ballard Designs. It is a twisted wire style and the foyer fixture has some twisted metal, too. Here is a view of the dining room fixture from the foyer. The lighting is difficult. I tried to balance my more formal style with the rustic plantation plain style of the house. I followed your suggestion and used the dipped candle style bulbs. I really like them. Thank you for your help for talking me off the ledge. I'm getting geared up for the interior painters next week. I've declared war on the green. It's all going to be warm white. Thanks, again.

Isn’t it wired already? I just poked over at our blank spot and we are wired for a light centred on door and just don’t have one yet. But we committed to centred on door when electrical was run.

Only drop it down as low as the center of that window above the door. I would consider adding something with some round shape since everything in this space already has straight lines. Also bc it is the main light for the entry and what looks like to the lower stairwell as well, you will want something that gets the light down to that level of the steps. Is it dark now on the lower level with that light on? I would avoid using the overplayed "midmod" lights on the market right now and look for something more authentic if you are keeping most of the esthetic I see here. They actually used a lot of round shapes, something to consider.
