I was considering the cheaper "anenome" version and I wasn't sure if two of those would be okay with one overhead light. Hi,

I do want to say that Pam and I often find ourselves at a crossroad when we renovate.

It isn't the same natural beachy home, but I didn't think it lost it's beach home character. Maybe it's just the fact that noone I know has a really well designed modern home, but I certainly am not tired of the look . Loved it! I have to say that I really loved this makeover.
