Bar Halfway Done

So I've painted the bar with chalk paint. Once I finished all the coats of paint, it was time to wax it. Waxing was really difficult, mainly because I couldn't find any consistent instructions on how to do it. It seems that every person has their own way of doing it. After doing one side of the shelves and the shelf above the cabinet base, I decided it wasn't worth it to wax the rest of the built-in, just the parts that would receive heavier use. I'm completely content with this decision now, but if I change my mind, I can always wax the remaining parts later.

The last part to this are the cabinet doors. I've ordered these handles for the doors:

I ordered them from Liz's Antique Hardware which looks like a shop I will definitely need to visit if I'm ever in LA. They have not arrived yet, but once they do, I'll decide which way I want them to face. I'd like them to be vertical, instead of horizontal as shown, but I can't decide which direction I will do. We'll have to wait and see!

In the meantime, I went ahead and installed the shelves and started to fill them up/attempt to style them.

Here's my progress before it got dark:

And I made a few changes after dark, mainly adding a lamp, hoping it would help with our lack of light:

I don't think it worked. The light that the lamp produces is trapped by the shelves. I think the only way to solve that is to do glass shelving or a mirrored back. I think we'll live with this for a while, see how it works for us and just enjoy it as a function space before doing anything else.

Now, I plan to make it much cuter, but I'm still finding some things packed away throughout the house. I have the perfect piece of art for behind the humidor, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I'm beginning to think it might still be at my in-laws from the moving weekend madness. I want to corral the bottles on a tray or something that defines that area as it's own little space. 

The pink blob you see on the second shelf is a stack of hot pink linen napkins. I want to get them monogrammed sometime soon...I'm thinking of doing something fun like gold thread or white thread. 

I also plan to paint/paper the back of the bookcase, but that's not happening right now.

I think this paper could be cute to use this wrapping paper on the back wall of the built in:

I think it could be fun to switch it every so often, with the seasons or mood changes. I think I could do some solids colors or various prints. We'll get there...slowly.

In the meantime, Phil and I are trying to decide HOW to light the den. It's just soooo dark, even with the new panelling. Neither of us regret taking down the florescent lights, but we're both tired of the room lite only in one corner. Today we discussed putting one, maybe two of this chandelier in the den:

PROS: Let there be light! And it would make the room feel more grand, I think. Oh, and it would light the room.

CONS: This room gets REALLY warm. The sun sets on it every day and there is nary a tree or branch blocking that direct sunlight. So we'd kind of like to put a ceiling fan (I know, I know, they are usually ugly) in the den to manage the temperature. But if finding a decent ceiling fan is tough, finding a ceiling fan with a light kit that is also moderately attractive feels impossible. These are the only ones that we've liked:

This coppery one:

And this huge one (diameter is 63"....only 3" shorter than me):

I just don't know. For aesthetic and light reasons, I'd like a lovely light fixture. But I'd also like to go a day without sweating while watching television, which makes me want a ceiling fan.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to light this room? There's not a ton of space for lamps in the places that need light, but I can't figure out what kind of lights need to go where. We'd also like to avoid having to do any extensive and expensive lighting changes, but that may be our only option.

Here's pictures of the room in its currently dim status, if that helps you help me:

and the darkest area, leading to the hallway/basement access:

Any ideas on how to add some light to this room?
