With the ceiling in place, I plugged in all the lights for the room. The lantern on the dresser is battery operated.

The Ray Storey ceiling fixture adds a good overhead glow to the room. I had thought about using a smaller, simpler ceiling medallion here with the fixture, but when I looked at the resin piece more closely I just didn't like it. It was rough and uneven, and spending a lot of time to get it in paint-ready condition wasn't something I wanted to do. Besides, it is a relatively short ceiling so it's probably not a good idea to lower the light fixture any more.

I had also thought about putting in a lamp over the comfy chair, but I think there is plenty of light in this room. Besides, grandma might just have a clip-on LED lamp for supplemental lighting just like I do when I cross-stitch. Once I get the ceiling painted bright white, it will reflect more light as well.
