Warwick Medium Lantern by Chapman & Myers
"I love the idea of big impact in a tiny space. The amazing poppy color and giant 3-foot-tall peonies work with a collection of art to create an unforgettable moment when you walk in. You’re drawn up the staircase because you want to see the next gallery wall of original artwork.” - Lindsay Coral Harper

Halcyon Large Three Tier Chandelier by Kelly Wearstler
“I looked to Southern style past for inspiration and took cues from icons such as Colefax and Fowler, Billy Baldwin, William Haines, and Frances Elkins in designing the dining room. The formal Southern table is set for entertaining but the unexpected layering of mixed china patterns and hues lends a playful and relaxed feel." - MA Allen
