metal chandeliers





we had some very minimalist chandeliers made by a houston craftsman and inspired from a photo we had saved from a magazine.

they finally arrived and turned out just as we had hoped - but the installation was not quite what the electricians had hoped - very challenging to say the least.


the great room is still not quite complete but the chandeliers are such a welcome addition.

interior shots #1







not fully done but here is the start of the interior decor.

...a portion of the great room; guest room; downstairs screened porch and upstairs hall.

front lights


so, the front facade gets better all the time. here are our front doors (with temporary hardware) and the lighting to illuminate them.

now i just need some good wooden benches (and decent door mats).
