let there be light...(a vintage one preferably)

I collected this vintage light fixture while waiting for our little country cottage to be completed. She needed some help.
I sprayed her down with paint and then did some distressing.
Here she is in all her glowing beauty.

I think ceiling medallions add the perfect finishing touch.
and... here she is in our lonely little dining area. The hubs and I brush painted my craigslist table last weekend. It's the perfect shade of blue/grey (thank goodness!!!).
While my table awaits chairs...I am already dreaming of tea parties. I have been enjoying unpacking some of my treasures that I have missed for so long.
These are the chairs that find me in my dreams. They are from Rachel Ashwell's Shabby Chic Couture collection furniture. This is the August chair. I love the soft wood and think it would look beautiful with my table.
Now that you've met August...meet Darcy:) I think this would look great as "the heads of table" chairs mixed with the August chairs on the sides. Rustic meets elegant...charming!

While I dream of these beauties... I will keep searching craigslist for my actual dining chairs:) We'll have to see what kind of magic I can work.
