……………..A diner party at dusk or later in the evening takes on a whole different aura with the right lighting…..The right lighting can make it MAGICAL…..As soon as fall came and the evening got darker, Jac and I always ate by candle light. It wasn’t just for special occasions…..it was just something we liked…..When I have a dinner party I still use lots of candles…..but……I have now added some special lights to add some magic….I have two glass cylinders framed in brushed chrome that when you touch the base a white light comes on….touch it again and the light turns to a warm yellow [photo at upper right]. For this table setting I like the warm yellow light. It enhances all of the colors. When I did a black and white table I used the white light….In addition to these I have a group of lights that look like the Dandelion flowers. They are on stands, and at the top are a spray of fine wires with tiny LED lights. This group of lights I got from a company called NEST……NEST has an incredible array of all different lights for indoor and outdoor……It’s well worth taking a look at. Right now they are featuring all kinds of autumn lights, and soon their Christmas lights will be making an appearance……….Lighting is often overlooked, but I learned long ago it makes all the difference in every room of the house!…………..even a dining table!!
Louis, love your table settings. The lighting is fab. I tried looking up the lights but there are a million nest sites.
Are you willing to share a more specific website?
Louis, your table settings are magnificent.
Oh….and then there’s the night view 🤩
