My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Chandelier and Island length

13 years ago
I just finished designing the kitchen for the home we are building and love the two lanterns over the island. Do you know the island length? I want to make sure two will look okay. I think our island is 9 ft. I'd also love any info you have on the chandelier. I'm so glad I saw this!! I never would have thought to mix brushed nickel with ORB. Thank you!!

    Hi ericaosinski, Thank you for the compliment! My mission is to teach all of you guys out there to stop the "Matchy Matchy" stuff! :) Absolutly get two lanterns!! Pottery Barn's Hundi Lanterns are great! Also the light over the table is Kichler's Circolo Collection. Kichler sells very good, High quality products through your local lighting retailer or www.build.com. Hope that helps! Jo
