Looking for a new light fixture for breakfast room -can you help?
Comments (3)Thanks for your replies. I'm going to have to find a picture because the ceiling configuration is impossible to describe with words. Basically the division between ceiling and open-two-second-floor is smack in the middle of the table, where you'd want the junction box to be (and where it can't possibly be, because there's a beam there.) And the ceiling slope runs perpendicular to the table, not paralell. So a bar pendant thing might work but only if I "dangle" the one end out into the empty space - I thought about having a carpenter build some kind of wooden box that I could hang pendants from, but I think it would be better to just get an oval shaped chandelier. I'm going to look for a pic as soon as I get back from dropping my dd off at camp. If I can't find one, I'll dig otu the camper and take a new one....See MoreNeed help selecting light fixtures

Comments (2)You don't HAVE to choose two matching fixtures at all, especially if you like the atomic ceiling mount better (I think it's pretty nifty myself). It goes well with the icy glass vanity lights without looking too matchy-matchy. I say go for the atomic one!...See MorePowder room light fixture - help needed
Comments (41)@lulu bella thanks for checking in! I haven’t purchased it yet, but I think I’m going to go with the attached crystal flush mount. It’s fairly heavy, so I decided to take a look at how the existing light is attached and... it was hung using a small rectangle wall box like you’d use for light switches, sigh. Unfortunately I caught this after the ceiling was prepped, but fortunately my electrician is pretty good at being careful with drywall....See More
