Third Try....

Simply Elegant....

I have come to realize, Dear Readers, that if I have to ask the Question "is this right..." then the answer is No! Because if it were right... it would Not occur to me to even ask the Question! So in answering my own question about the pair of Candelabra... yes, they were too much! I truly appreciate all the support and feedback you give me in you wonderful comments... and I hope you all will forgive me for being so bad at answering all your comments lately! I truly savor and value every one! In answer to Dorien's question of what beads I use for the flames on my candles, I will show you a picture of the cloth I have that is strewn with tiny squares of glitter...

It is a coffee colored gauze covered randomly with gold micro beads and tiny iridescent squares of glitter.... I simply cut out the individual glitter pieces and glue them to the candles... they reflect the light with a colored glow.... IF you can capture it right on the photograph! I also use this cloth in my fireplaces as a backdrop to resemble the smoke and sparks of the burning fire....! You may also remember seeing it in The Folly as the curtains for the Bed Nook....  I have been using it a lot lately!

Having decided that the candelabra were "too much", 

I had to give it another try to come up with the right lighting for this room.... 

and I decided that a pair of single elegant candlesticks might just do the trick!

Here below you can see the basic Simple candlestick.... 

with the tiny hanging crystals... 

It is not exactly "smaller"... but it is Much Simpler....

I didn't get the glitter to glow properly in this picture.... 

but the focus is good so you can see the "crystal beads" clearly!

While I was at it I also made another pair of the sconces....

Which you can see here... one of them has the crystal drops added...

And here you can see the pair of candlesticks  and the sconces....

It is amazingly challenging to get photos that have Both good focus And glowing flames!

The sconces are for the outer door.....

On either side of the door to the Juliet Balcony....

Yes, I know they are not hung evenly.... 

but they needed to be positioned around the painted birds...!

And the candlesticks.... you want to see them on the Mantle?

First one.... and I even got it "lit"!!

But you will agree that there MUST be Two....

But it is crooked.... 

(you have no idea how tricky they are to position....)

There! 

Can you see the glow?

A Little farther back.....

And a view of the glittering ceiling.....

Finally! 

Third Try... Any way you look at it...

I think it is Simply Elegant!
