So if I have polished chrome (bell shaped) pendents on the island, I can do a brushed chrome lantern style fixture over the table? I'm also thinking of doing polished chrome for the knobs/pulls. I will have stainless appliances.

Love those pendants! You say it's okay to mix the finishes...I had considered oil rubbed bronze pendants because my island is a dark stain. However, the surrounding cabinets are white and I have polished nickel for cabinet hardware. Is that going to be too much going on?

Michelle,

Thanks for your lovely compliment! It definitely is ok to mix finishes. Some people don't care for that, but there is no rule against it. We say to do what your heart desires! Also, an oil rubbed bronze will be a beautiful compliment with a dark-stained island.

Hope this helps!
