Dining Room Makeover

Here is our dining room as purchased with the house: 

 And here is our dining room after we completed the renovations:  made the rough plaster ceiling smooth, removed wall paper, painted all wainscoting and built-ins and below, replaced the hunting horn chandelier.

We are in the market for a new dining table and chairs.  In fact it pains me to see this table in this room, b/c I have a vision for what will go here.  And it may still have the Easter egg table cloth and the Easter Bunny cake on it, but not those chairs, not that table and not that color.  

 So our house had 15 chandeliers when we bought it. Now it has 16, though one is dismantled in the basement.  So when you visit, don't diss this one below (above is the horns up close).  I love it, and Ben indulged me.  Beth, you asked about lighting, we found this one at West Elm for just under $300 - seemed like a steal from all we looked at, and I do love it.  It comes in a dark capiz shell too.

 I loved it so much, I had the fun task of un-taping/unwrapping each individual shell by hand (feeling bad for the sweat shop workers whose job it was to wrap them).  Ben had the fun task of installation...did I mention I love having a super handy husband?
