I love the green pendant! It is light and whimsical while also being charming.
The Sundance one is also nice but looks heavier to me.

As for the dining room ones, I like the last one best, but not as much as I like your pendant choices.

You do need to keep in mind that with the exposed bulb styles, it may look different in your home with different bulbs....

Thanks for your thoughts! Yeah, I don't know if I love those for the dining room, although I think the PB light is cute. Mostly wondering if anyone has ideas. I think I put all my effort into the pendants and want simpler for the dining.

Are you aware that that celadon one is 40 watts? Is it regular 40 or a new funky 40 bulb that gives more light?

Here's a chandelier for you to kill your spare change on...

Here is a link that might be useful: green goddess eight-light chandelier

Here are the 2 pendants Shakalaka is talking about:
Green Pendant (40 Watt bulb)

Sundance Pendant (40 Watt bulb)

Pottery Barn Chandy for over dining table (75 Watt Bulb):

White shade chandy for over dining table (3 60 Watt E26 bulbs):

And then the overstock link had an entire page of chandeliers. I wasn't sure which one was up for voting.

I think both of the pendants are very attractive. The problem for me would be the 40W light. I like to have more light over my island because that's where I prep. If you have recessed lighting in addition to these pendants, you might be all right. I think then they would serve more as a beautiful accent in your kitchen rather than a really functional prepping light.

Of the 2 chandeliers, I like the Pottery Barn Globe more, but that's my personal taste. My concerns with that kind of light are that it might glare in your eyes since the bulb is uncovered, unless it is hung high enough. Also, you'd have to commit to keeping the glass clean. Okay for some folks, but I might let it slide and then suddenly notice, one day, that I had a fuzzy chandelier!!

Hopefully you'll get more votes to help you with photos. We are very visual people!

I hadn't even checked what the celedon light takes, although there will be a few of them as well as recessed light so it's probably okay.
Wow, that will be a lot of spare change. Very fun.

Thanks for posting those, Doonie. I haven't taken the time to figure that out yet. Yes, dust could certainly be a problem. I don't have any definite choices for dining room lights yet, so if anyone has any ideas, please share.
Thanks everyone

Shakalaka - I love the green pendants, I had looked at them for my kitchen. They are unique, organic and visually light/transparent. I do like the other one, but that seems a bit more of the trend of industrial/barn lights which I think might wain over time, as well as I prefer pendants to not be as visually heavy as those.

If you do the green lights in the kitchen room, something opaque and paper/fabric would be nice in the dining room for softness and contrast of effect.

Good luck and nice lighting taste :)

Thanks! I'm getting excited about finally pulling things together.
