New Jar Pendant Light

We are in the process of redecorating our living/dining space.  I recently purchased a dining table from Copenhagen.  The table was a perfect fit in our narrow dining area but the lighting above the table didn't fit with the table.  I searched for something linear and found this Jar Pendant Light at Pottery Barn.  It is perfect for the space.  The electrician installed it this week and we love it.

I'm not sure we are keeping the blue walls but will wait until all furniture has arrived before making a decision.  I'll post more photos of the transformation as we make the changes.  Shutters should be installed next week and furniture is scheduled to arrive the following week.  My DH will be repainting the shelves and  hutch to match new wall unit (Swiss Coffee).  Seems like one thing leads to another.  Especially in a older historic home.

Where do you store your placemats?

Our new dining room table and chairs were delivered Saturday.  I decided to step outside my "box" and purchased the table and chairs from Copenhagen.  I had seen the table advertised in the newspaper and the dimensions were perfect for our dining area.  (Table will be another post.) 

 

I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond searching for placemats for the new table.  My chairs are  6 different colors of leather.  These bamboo placemats are perfect.  But where do I keep them when not using them?  I wanted to keep my tablerunner on the table.  So I am using the rolled up placemats as a centerpiece.  I placed them inside an old crock and added my black bear salt and pepper. Crock is Moira Pottery made in England.   Bears from Pigeon Forge, TN.  (that will be another post as I catch up on the past few months).   Placemats are now ready to unroll and place on the table.  Oh and they were only $1.99 each!

You can see two of the leather chairs in the background.
