Beth, I have been so delighted and educated with all these posts. I love the evolution of your wonderfully charming home! You are an amazing woman! I share several of the decorating dilemmas you've mentioned. My "living room" is about 2' more narrow and 2' shorter than your area. I'm learning a lot from your post. The repurposed gun cabinet idea is absolute genius. Please share a photo when you've installed the shelves and contents. Regarding the non-glare glass for your larger artwork. The price of non-glare glass has become simply ridiculous. I have an entire hallway lined with (Gasp!) a family gallery wall. It includes photos from more than 100 years ago to this year's school pics of the great-nephew. Color, colorized, sepia toned, black and white, all mixed together and mostly in their original mismatched frames. That just about breaks all the rules, but I love my wall. Several of the older photos - Mom's 1954 graduation photo; MIL's 1952 wedding photo, etc. - had plain glass. I can't tolerate the glare either. I made a note in my iPod of all the frame sizes that needed replacement non-glare glass. Every time I'm at a thrift shop or yard sale I check out the "frames" area. You can often find large pictures that may be in horrid frames, but they will have non-glare glass! I buy the frame, take out the glass, and toss the rest. I found one very large print of ballet slippers framed with non-glare that was big enough to cut down into several pieces. It made one 8x10 and three 5x7 pieces of non-glare glass for my wall, all for $1. With their permission, I took the glass out at the shop, tossed the faded print, and re-donated the empty frame back to them.

Hello everyone!! I NEED HELP!!! I purchased 2 Duke Oversized Pendants (16 inch overall diameter) in 2020 on Pottery Barn site. They make my whole kitchen!! The glass on one of them broke and Pottery Barn site says No Longer available! Ive been in tears for weeks!!! Can anyone tell me where I can find one of these?? My email is ginamt2@yahoo.com. Thank you for any help you can give! Ive attached a pic of the pendant and one of my kitchen so you can see the beautiful lights above my island!

It will cost more to rewire than simply replace the fixture. Electricians have tall ladders!!! They can replace the chandelier easily. However, everyone has a minimum trip charge, so it would be to your benefit if you could group a number of tasks you need the electrician to accomplish. Your chandelier may fade into the color of the walls. This one below is from Wayfair. 24" and $239 https://www.wayfair.com/shop-product-type/pdp/gracie-oaks-chiara-4-light-globe-chandelier-lswp1229.html

Polished Luxury Chandelier ($400) from Shades of Light Hi, in case the above doesn't work, this isn't exactly the same, it doesn't have the gold box, but the lines are the same and it's mixed metals. The top has a chain integrated so it can swivel. I had the same problem, looking for a mixed metal pendant for a vaulted ceiling at an angle. I didn't choose the same profile as you, but I remember seeing several in mixed metal in a lantern or square shape. I found this one, if I find the others, I will pass them on, just in case. Good luck! I just found this one, but it isn't square, that I had considered, has similar candle lights and mixed metals, don't know about the size of your lights, comparatively though: Rings Chandelier ($440) Shades of light Probably too busy for a series above an island though... this one, also round, but similar color profile...with a chain.
