Northpolehome- Our electrician is charging around 45/ per dimmer in our house. We had 4 included in our contract and we added a couple extra. One of the places we added a dimmer was the shower. I can't remember if it was GW or my lighting designer that gave me that idea but I thought it was a good one since our shower has 2 can lights and it may be nice at times not to get blasted with light in there. Other areas people tend to put on dimmers: island lights, anywhere you will be watching tv, dining light, master bedroom overhead lights if you have them (we did add 2 cans to the mbr) I'm debating putting the IC/UC lights on dimmers but the electrician says very few do that. Not sure if I should or not. As far as the original topic, I asked the opinions of a few people (besides GW) and they thought the light was fine for the space. Certainly we could go larger also. I love the fixture itself so I'm going to leave it. Northpole you correctly remembered I did originally want a lantern and we could not find one that would work because of height. It would have been too tall and hung down too low. I didn't care for other styles of flushmount bell jar lanterns. That fixture may not be as dramatic an element as it could be, but when people open the door their eyes are going to go to our huge window wall anyways. So I'm going to play the understated card here I guess ;)

Take a photo or just stand where you enter the room. From that perspective, you have to consider the line of sight and how the pendants are going to fight the table light or not. Will the table light hang lower? Will you see just the bottom of it below the sight line of the pendants. To me, the answer is if they are going to "interrupt" each other, than you shouldn't have both. What about more can lights?

They might(large scale prints) You're right-it's not too big per se, the dimensions are fine..if it was airier. Right now seems a tad heavy. Nevertheless it's a beautful room..if you have opportunity to furnish it first, add art you had in mind, etc(and I'd put the art where the mirror is, because mirror reflects chandelier you're not sure about-so now it's two of them..)) I'd leave it until I see it all coming together, and would decide then. If you have time constrictions(returning deadline or something)-it's easy to fall in love with many chandeliers but then you find the one you marry so to say. Do you have another in mind you love enough "to marry"? Don't forget also-you just recently put it in..sometimes things need getting used to.

Don't think it is too big. My only concern is the finish, as you seem to have a lot of "gold" in the other room.
