mjwin, The name of the manufacturer is Eurofase. I did a google search, and unfortunately, I think they have discontinued that style. I had found a couple of links to sources for another GW after I first posted this question- (price range from $2400 to $375!!! for the same fixture!), but couldn't find anything today- I forget the exact name of the style, but Eurofase has lots of other interesting contemporary styles. I am now looking for a track light for the LR in front of our fireplace, but in the same sight line as this chandelier, so hope to find something with those curvy lines in ORB. I went with the curvy DIVA styling. I bought them from Lee Valley, and yes they can be ordered online. Very reasonably priced, and for Americans, you guys get an even better price than we do (even though it's a Canadian company). We haven't got them installed on all the doors as we still need to have some drawers made, and some doors trimmed, but so far everyone really likes the handles we do have on!

Here ya go Jewel. For comparison, behind it is my Emtek entry door lockset with flat black finish. The paint is covering very cheap shiny gold brass. I should have painted the wood as well, but will go back and do that later. This is 3 coats. Although it's flat black, it has a slight luster. It's not a dead black.

So I like where you are going. I would look at stain vs paint and one the is sheer enough to still see the wood grain. I love the idea of black but I would think of it more as an accent. So I would stain the beams, and any wood around the slat wall areas. I also like the idea of staining the trim around the doors vs the doors being black. (I included a pic of the door being black so you could see the difference) Also like the idea of black trimmed windows. I’d love to see something like a metal art piece above the fireplace vs. a mirror so that you can see the wood there. If at all possible, you really could use more lighting, especially overhead, if possible.

I love chair rails, but it looks like yours were put up too high. Many people put them up wrong. They are supposed to occupy the lower 1/3 of a room, not break the room in half! For eight foot ceilings, a chair rail at 30" off of the floor looks great. If they are not your style, don't feel badly about removing them, since even if you liked them they are at the wrong height. Realistically you can either paint the oak white (or a trim colour of your choosing) or sand off the golden stain and apply a darker more modern stain if you want to go for a rustic look. Painting will be much less work (but make sure you use a good primer for adhesion), but if you love the rustic wood look you could consider the sanding/ re-staining option. I would leave the hardwood floors completely alone since they will blend into the decor once you cover them with area rugs, plus light oak hides dirt and wears really well! I would also leave the staircase alone if it were my house, since it matches the floors and you will have plenty of other more pressing projects to occupy yourself with. Lighting is easy to change and makes a huge difference!
