Lighting choices of metro Atlantans and others

Demijohn lights from etúHome hang in a row above the island in the kitchen of Joe and Stacy Borocz’s Roswell home. The couple renovated their kitchen in April 2020, giving the space a brighter look and replacing some of the cabinetry. Steam bent beechwood stools provide seating at the large island, and a repainted vintage market scale sits on display at one end. Text by Shannon Dominy/Photo by Reynolds Rogers

The Regency chandelier by Joe Nye from Circa Lighting in antique brass hangs from the dining room ceiling covered with Bradbury & Bradbury "Persian Star" wallpaper and an original circle medallion that was painted.

Built to provide for a cross-breeze prior to air-conditioning units, the sunroom enjoys natural light from all sides. The home can be seen during the Jan. 26 Young Collectors' Home Tour, which is one event during the 2019 Cathedral Antiques Show.

The living room combines comfort with functionality. The sectional from Rooms to Go offers an abundance of seating, when guests are over, and the ability for the family to stretch out when not entertaining. Metal and industrial decor elements include the tiered round metal chandelier from Progressive Lighting, wall art, lamps and accessories such as the tray on the ottoman.

The hedgehog lamps, from Target, are unexpected and pretty elements in the entryway, said homeowner Joyce Jarema. The mirror is from Kirkland's and the vase is an Jonathan Adler piece from several years ago.
