Finally, my dining room ceiling is finished! In person, it looks like a midnight sky; pictures (my pictures, anyway) don't do it justice at all. The ornamental scrollwork design around the chandelier is barely visible in this picture. It's subtle in real life, but you can see it much better. It's kind of like a shadow or an echo of the scroll work on the chandelier, and it's embellished with decorative upholstery nails. The crown molding has a metallic foil finish selected to complement the gold drapery hardware and accents on the light fixtures.
