Robin Amorello, CKD CAPS - Atmoscaper Design You'd need a minimum of 14' of width in the room to do this particular layout properly. It's hard to tell from this photo how long this room is, but looks to be longer than 15'... Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...
how can I get a schoolhouse light with a pull chain that is NOT for a ceiling fan? - I have an old farmhouse without a lot of wall switches. In the office, I'd like to put in a ceiling light with a pull chain, but no fan; they don't seem to exist. How to find such a fixture? Thanks, Annie »
I don't think you'll be able to find anything like that. You might have to make some modifications to the light itself. I found a great DIY article on how you could do that!
nightbk I love having my microwave tucked out of the way and out of sight in our island. I can't stand microwaves ovens over the range - so cluttered looking and they take up too much counter space and again make your kitchen cluttered. Microwaves are not used nearly enough by most people to waste prime space on them, nor are they decor features that you want to emphasize in my opinion. It's also much safer lifting something hot up to your countertop rather than down and risk spilling it towards you from a height (Ie. from over top the stove). I love it - it works for us, but everyone sees their space through their own eyes.
I have an 8 ft island and I bought 3 - 14 inch wide school house pendants. They seem too big. What would the recommendation be for and 8 ft island, how many pendants and what size if I would like 3 of them. Is going down to 12 inch a good idea or smaller? Thanks. »
wingwing Nice kitchen. But you could reconsider the color of your pendants to make it stand out from the almost-all-white kitchen. The pendant in darker or sharper color could highlight your room even when the light is off. Try brown...
Kelly Lautenbach I'm a fan of the lights over the island... I might switch out the ones above the sink and the door, personally. If you add a bit of that darker finish color in the room though I think it'll work just fine! :)
What is the width/diameter of the larger fixture above island? (Possibly tagged with wrong size) - There is a smaller fixture above the sink. The one above the island is larger, yet it is tagged as 6''...does not look 6''. What is the width or diamete of the larger fixture. I am ordering these lights asap and i am struggling with size. »
I need help choosing the colour for my floor tile. - I'm recreating this kitchen. However I don't have enough budget to do hardwood in the kitchen. It's being done through a builder and I only have a choice now of ceramic tile. I don't know what colour to choose! »
How many lights? - My kitchen is about 11 x 12 feet. How many 5-inch recessed bulbs should we install in the ceiling? We will also have LED's under the cabinets and one pendant over the sink.
Thank you,

How high did you hang the lights above the island? - I'm planning on using bell jar lanterns over my 15 foot island. I was thinking two and having them hung up high to provide the room with light. »
