Hi all. Great help so far. We are moving along, and next on the list is lighting. Mostly final layout is below (sorry for the picture quality). We have a 64x98" island, which is the focal point of the space. We had originally planned pendants, but with 8 foot ceilings, want to limit the number of dangling lights. Now, we are considering a single chandelier over the island. We had also thought we would do a pendents over the sink, and similar chandelier in the bay window (planning a seating area with 2 lounge chairs and a small table between). Our inspirational picture is below. We do a lot of cooking (most dinners from scratch), and plan on the island being homework central for the 3 kids while we parents are cooking. So, any ideas on types of lights (pendent vs chandelier vs ceiling flush, etc) and styles would be appreciated.

Inspirational Photo: We are using a bit darker hardwood floor, though keeping the stainless appliances, hood, and self under the hood. The cabinets are a true white, outer counters are steel grey granite, with flat white subway tile above, and paint color similar to this (edgecomb gray) with a center island in a honed white marble (TBD). I don't think these pendents work with our 8 foot ceilings.
