which light fixture for hall?

[Deleted User] · December 2009

once again, can't decide.

walls will be an almost-white off-white color. will have this painting hanging in the hall (this is right before it was framed):

the floors are going to be something like this:

so here are the choices:

1:

#2:

#3:

I like them all... but picked #3

I can't decide but I love your remodeling polls! I get to live vicariously through you. And I want those floors...badly. If I ever come to visit, pieces might disappear.

crfische · December 2009

I'd go for 2 or three. They match the painting and the matting on the picture better.

Mrs.B6302007 · December 2009

Okay....I went with #3. The amber color in that picks up the earth tones in the floor and in the painting.

[Deleted User] · December 2009

yeah, i suck at this too. they're all so different. i don't really know which direction to go here.

georgia_bride09 · December 2009

#1 doesn't match the other stuff at all to me.

I like #2, but it might be too white.

I would prefer if #3 were more open like #2, but I think it's metal tones are better.

My vote is #3 if you can't get #2 in a warmer metal.

I chose #3, unless #2 comes in a gold or bronze finish as well

bee, if you ever come to visit, things will not disappear. i keep close tabs. i've also decided to keep the existing fixtures, so that if/when we sell the place, the new stuff comes with me. the new owner can have the old fug stuff.

as for the flooring...it's been an odyssey trying to find to flooring i picture in my head. i finally found it, but i still have to find out if they can hone it to my liking.

I'm glad I'm not the only who does this.

#2 does come in a bronze finish. h thinks it's too "contrasty" though.

rainsfallsoftly · December 2009

I like #2 best, but voted for #3 because I think it goes best with the rest of the decor.

georgia_bride09 · December 2009

Oh, I like the bronze finish much better. He thinks the leaves and flowers are too contrasty? To me, if you're paying enough for a light fixture, you want to be able to see it, as opposed to it fading into the ceiling. That looks much better than the white with your other finishes.

Mrs.B6302007 · December 2009

#2 in bronze is pretty but #3 is still warmer somehow to me. Maybe because it's enclosed and gives more of a glow?

I won't steal your floor so there's no need for you to check my suitcase.
:fingers crossed behind back:

[Deleted User] · December 2009

he thinks the darkness of the bronze would be too contrasty against the whitish walls/ceiling.

wtf does he know though?

i wonder if i just screwed up my own poll.

georgia_bride09 · December 2009

The whole point of having an awesome light fixture is the contrast against the ceiling. You need to make him see the light. Pun intended.

My vote is still #2, in the bronze finish. Your poll is indeed sort of messed up now. They should let you edit those too.

Nebb · December 2009

I still vote 2, especially seeing it in the bronze. Contrast is good especially if you have other bronze-y aspects to tie it in.

ring_pop · December 2009

I love #2 and #3 but I voted for #3. I feel like #2 is too matchy with the painting.

trrouble07 · December 2009

i love #3. the other two aren't even a consideration for me. and i MEGA love the floor.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown · December 2009

I chose 3, but I like 2 as well.

WildRumpus · December 2009

2 in bronze, definitely.

BecW2be · December 2009

I voted for 3, but I need to change it to 2 in the bronze finish. That floor, painting and lighting are amazing together!

saschaduran · December 2009

I just want to say that I can't decide either but I think your house is going to look amazing.
