Lighting the Farmhouse Lounge

 I decided that I might as well finish all the lighting on the ground floor so I don't have to keep taking everything out of the Farmhouse every time I add a light.

I've made three little lights and hung them together in the lounge. 

Lights are very hard to photograph when they're lit up!

There's a matching single light in the front entry way through the French doors there.

The lights look silver when they're off. 

And (hopefully) mercury glass-ish when they're on.

'Poor man's silver'!

There's a chandelier in the formal dining room which I made when I did the Valentine's Day scene. 
I was doing everything I could to avoid making a chandelier - because they're very fiddly things to make. 
But the dining room was just screaming out for one!

Now I'm looking for inspiration for lights in the rest of the Farmhouse!

Thank you for all your comments on the Kitchen Lights post, so glad you like them!

  6. C'est vrai qu'il est difficile de faire de belles photos avec les lumières allumées mais vos photos sont réussies, elles donnent une très belle ambiance. Les pièces sont magnifiquement meublées et décorées, je serai curieux de voir en plus en détails la petite maison de poupée posée sur une table, à droite.

  12. Oh but they really look like mercury glass! I understand they are not actual mercury glass but you have achieved the effect so well. The three of them together as lights works beautifully. Ads even more warmth to an already lovely atmospheric room.
