looking for ways to enliven your dwelling? Some ideas worth dwelling upon...

The pineapple is the traditional symbol of hospitality and welcome, so why not illuminate a space with a whole collection of them? This charming metal and resin chandelier is done in a "gold coast" finish and sells for $1,250. It will harmonize with both casual and formal furniture. See the light at Design Lighting & Fan, 629 N. Airport-Pulling Road, Naples. 434-8455.

The right piece of accent furniture can be the focal point of a room. We've found it. This dramatic bamboo and decoupage bar has a copper inset and plenty of storage in drawers. It measures 38 inches high, 35 inches wide and 20 inches deep. Take it home for $2,795 when you visit Chelsea Gardens, On The Plaza, 1170 Third St. S., Naples. 263-0520.
