I always ask the host if they would like me to bring a salad or dessert as I never know what others are bringing and don't wan to double up too much on anything, then we also always bring both a bottle of wine and half doz light beer as well as a bottle of soda as either myself or hubby will be the designated driver we take it in turns, if the host says not to bring anything but some BYO drinks I take the host a small gift of chocolates or nuts something just for him/her or both even a nice bottle of champagne the host/s can have later, obviously the gift has to be tailored to the hosts preference.

thank you for your advise. I have put images of the outside of the house as that where the dining room is from there we will be bringing the decking out 3 metres which will create an out - indoor eating. this is the most finished room giving you an idea of the colour and house. all blue grey tones. sorry about stuff around but a reno house is hard to find spaces below is kitchen as is looking out to the dining through that open servery but we are taking most of that wall out to make an open space - its very small step down below into the dining through the left door way. below is the now dining. the table is very small and hard to pull chairs in and out of hence the indoor out door considerations. belwo is the outdoor looking in. from those doors we are putting a 3 metre decking i think. we have a lot of yard so its easy to do

Hi Simone, Have found something similar, Indah rattan pendant from Zillow+Hutch Cosmo wire pendant from Crate and Barrel Haven’t come across yours yet.

i've had some non standard light fittings rewired by our very friendly electrician as part of a bigger job but would first find the electrician and show them photos and detailed specs of what you want to alter before importing anything..keeping in mind that skilled labour may cost $200+parts+ postage so may be cheaper to search closer to home
