What Do You Think?

Hi Everyone!  Hope you had a great fourth.  We spent the day on nearby Whidbey Island, hunting for shells and jumping on rocks (well not me, but you know what I mean :)).  In the evening, we had a very patriotic celebration on Lake Washington (which was my goal and of course is the point :)).  It was a lot of fun.  I continue to be in awe of how beautiful and diverse it is here...I feel so lucky!  


Anyway, on to today's post:


So...I have pretty much finished our living room, but not our dining room (more on that project later) but there is one lingering question for our living room.  I have a chandelier similar to the one below, currently hanging in our dining room: 

You may have noticed that picture isn't of a dining room.  :)  I have noticed that a lot of beautiful rooms have this type of lighting in a living room setting vs. a dining room setting.  It's tempting me to add it to my living room, and use a drum shade that is currently sitting in our garage in the yet-to-be-decorated dining room.   You'll definitely see here that most of them are in rooms with raised ceilings, although not all of them.  We have raised ceilings but certainly not soaring ones similar to some of these truly grand spaces.  Let's take a look together:

What do you think of this look?
