trouble reconciling

i've developed a problem over time. i'm not sure of the complete nature, or where it stems from, but i have not only an ability to focus, but also no ability to make a decision.

i've blogged about the focusing problem before. and i know i have problems with over-analysis. nala's been helpful with that. and very patient.

sometimes i need to just "pick a direction, even if it's wrong."

this dining room thing is killing me. i like the color. i like our furniture. i know what light fixtures i don't like, but i'm having trouble reconciling my wanting to stay "period" with the house and my wanting to keep things modern and inviting.

the house is old. the furniture is antique. we still need a rug, a ceiling fixture, and window treatments. the problem with rejuvenation's selection is, if i limit by room=dining, by time period=1920s, and by type=chandelier, i feel like the 56-fixture selection is: ho-hum, too-square, or too-frilly. i feel like the soul of the house would be sucked out, rather than put back. if i switch to 1930s, it's even worse. of course, i know that another part is my inability to visualize different finishes and different glass shades on different styles.

another limiting factor is nala's desire to avoid up-lighting. that narrows the selection in half, at least. i agree with his reasoning, though, so that decision stands (unless he changes his mind).
