Help on edge lighting art glass piece
Comments (6)Side glow type cable is often used for this. A carpenter creates a channel large enough to hold the cable against the glass edge. The channel could be painted white to reflect light back into the glass rather than absorb it. You should do all sides in a complete loop starting and ending at the light source for the most even effect. You might find help with design from the manufacturer. Most have someone on staff. Be careful with the light source selection as many have a fan and some are much noisier than others. Here is a link that might be useful: One example of side glow...See MoreArt and photo arrangement help please (pics)
Comments (4)Little pieces of advice: Whether you choose to change the frames or not, I would not place the smaller pics above the larger ones, because it becomes hard to see the faces. As Les wrote, you also just might have too many photos crowded in there, so much so that they get jumbled and in the end none of them has any real impact. Especially the photos that show just you and DH pretty much posing for the camera in front of a place--they might not look the same to you, but being of the same size and same "look," they blend together. I know you love all these photos, and they will be in a private space, but they just look too crowded. (You might also go back to all your photos and look for some that will remind you of the places themselves. Did you take a photo, say, of some really quirky thing you came across?) Then think about picking out some of the better pictures, enlarging them in 2 or 3 different sizes and reframing them. And then try a layout again. I'm not feeling the mirrors, either. To break up the photos, you might consider making a shadowbox that holds a few special mementos for you and DH. Maybe your dried bouquet? (if there was one) Or some tickets relating to your honeymoon. Or maybe if you saved the tickets to the first movie you saw together....See MoreHow to hang 3 art pieces above a 4 piece sectional?

Comments (33)I have no help to add about the art but I do love the colorful rug @celery showed I the last post. Something dramatic with that gorgeous green in it will tie the room together. Your dining table is stunning! And the green chairs are a happy surprise ( most dining rooms have all chairs the same)....See MoreJohn Battle
