Hi everyone. I just replied to the post about being addicted to GW and here it is half past midnight and I'm bleary-eyed and tired but can't seem to shut the darn computer off! But I need help and where else can I turn but my dear, dear fellow GWers?

Here are my problems.

I want pendants over my island (no idea which ones or what size) and my first mistake was asking the electrician how many he thought I should have. He told me 2. He made one hole in the ceiling with one wire coming out and I've questioned it a few times but was either brushed off or told, "yeah, we will just add another one". Well, I was told that the painters will be coming this week to paint the ceiling and I also think the electrician is supposed to come tomorrow. I'm afraid now that 2 may not be enough but I really need to make a decision so I can let the electr. know and make whatever adjustments he needs to.

I've been looking and looking and can't make a decision on pendants. I like the ones from PBarn but they are 14" - are those too big? I don't want them to be obtrusive but I keep going back to these. (I really like the polished nickel but the bronze will probably work better with my other choices). But other pendants I've seen are the mini ones which are about 6-8 inches and I think only 2 would be too few. I saw nice ones in monkeyjack's kitchen which are a totally different style from the PB ones but these also appealed to me.

The other item I'm struggling with is I'm pretty sure I would like a chandelier over the table. Something with a more casual feel but yet with a bit of crystal. I'd like the pendants and the chandelier to "go together" but not need to necessarily match exactly.

My cabinets are Medallion Oyster Vintage which is a creamy color and dark cherry island. Granite countertops are yellow river which is a golden color. The island is 6'x 3'. I have a copper sink with a dark ORB faucet (almost black - the kohler vinnata)and ORB hardware.

So anyone have an opinion on these and a possible chandelier partner, any advice? Thanks so much. (sorry for the giant picture - it is now 2 a.m. so it took me that long to figure out how to add photos!)
