Commented: how would you decorate this mantleI think you should keep it simple. Maybe add some kind of candle or greenery. Less is more! So pick one or two items for each side and roll with that.
Commented: Choosing my dining table lightI love both! But I think the silver and gold leaf (first option) would tie the room together very nicely. As well, it isn't quite so trendy so you will enjoy it for longer.
