Just wondering since we all agree it should be over the table - b/c of builder error, my sconces are centered on the wall, not the chandy. I compounded the problem by letting the HW installer center the pattern of the floor ("picture framed" in concentric rectangles) in the room as well. Now that's covered by the Oriental rug, but should I move one sconce or the chandy? I'm concerned that years down the road (not really thinking of resale, it's family land, but of future generations who might buy different furniture) it would look very strange to have lighting offset from the floor pattern/room by 6". Sorry for the hijack but I thought it was on-topic. Picture of DR floor no furniture - sorry no pics of wall with sconces but you can see the floor pattern. Room with furniture - if you can see the piece of blue tape on the wall next to electrical box, that's where sconce was supposed to go to be centered on chandy. WWYD? The ceilings were recently repainted, if we move the chandy it won't be for a while since this ceiling paint does *NOT* touch up well. Neither does the wall color but it would be a lot easier to move the sconce, patch and repaint the wall than to paint the ceiling that is open to the foyer. Thanks

Can't find how to edit... photos uploaded out of order from the way I added them, but hoping you all can see the issue. Thanks again!

Thanks for all the suggestions! I have the table moved out now, it's not terrible. I'm just going to live with it a few days, maybe I'll try rotating the table for another few days and see how I like it.

I am in the process of removing 1990's ceramic tile from my terrazzo floors (1959 house in Orlando FL) with a hammer-drill. I have a goal each week to tear up 15 sq feet of the tile (and that much fits in my trash can outside). I prefer the not so shiny terrazzo to the ceramic tile. It is a lot of work especially getting up the thinset (I spray water on it to keep the dust down) and to not damage it..Once it is all up and I have some other projects done, I am getting the terrazzo refurbished and it will glow!. I have the same style house and love it. Your tile job is definitely DIY. No pro would have that mess by the kitchen and dining room. I think the potential there is huge. I think the dining room would feel less unfriendly if one could see out those french doors. I'd center the table under the skylight and hang a light inside the skylight. You (a pro) can put a light in a skylight, you just need to affix a board that goes from side to side and the wiring would get run to it in the same fashion it goes to your fan. Ditch the fan. you could hide the wires to the light by making a false ceiling about an inch lower than the present ceiling. You could go with a tongue in groove real wood stained something medium colored. I did that on one of my ceilings. These houses are built with those tongue in groove boards under your layer of roofing. I think those built-in shelving do-dads are really awkward and would get rid of them. They were an add on when they did the 1990's tile. So awkward how the baseboard is that tall baseboard and that era of houses had 4 inch ranch style. Sticks out like a sore thumb wrapped around those wall units. If you can get the glass clear in those doors, remove the shelving, take up the floors, put a light in the skylight and put some plants in there it will look like a different place.
