Hi Rebecca. What did you decide. Can I ask where you purchased the chandelier in the photo?

I threw caution to the wind and went with 2 large chandeliers !! They are Schonbek Bagatelle 1238. I upgraded to the Spectra Crystal.

That is fantastic. I am going for the same look. Our island is 11' long x 4' wide. Unfortunately, most of my budget went to the subzero integrated refrigerator and the beautiful 1908 provence blue LaCornue! What are you doing for the lighting that connects/is seen through your other rooms?

@ Rebecca3663 - beautiful chandelier and would love to see photos when they're up!

@ wingypo - La Cornue pieces are lovely works of art!

That is a beautiful oven - Wow! We went with Schonbek Bagatelle in all the surrounding rooms - flush mount (1242) over Rear Kitchen Entrance, Sconces x 2 (1240) down the corridor, pendant (1243) in the Guest Bathroom and the same pendants (1243) x 2 over the Dining Room table - all of which are the bigger version with 3 lights in the urns. All in Polished Silver. Just to make the rooms flow and because they are really pretty. The rest of the main floor is Starfire Crystal - the Empire Collection (a bit cheaper than the Schonbeks but still beautiful when lit) - Empire Chandeliers 7124 x 2 (Main Entrance and Nook Area underneath a ceiling dome), 7121 in the living room tray, 3112S in the upstairs hallway and Schonbek Petite Crystal Deluxe (5892) Sconces x 2 in the sunroom. The Upstairs bathroom is a Schonbek Sterling (2999) in polished silver with Spectra Crystal. The Hallway going upstairs (beside a black quartz open staircase) are Kuzco Crystal (WS7812) which are spectacular when they are lit x 2 that are hung vertically on the wall - husband picked these ones out! I think there is never too much crystal :) We have a small house so I did not want too many different styles going on. I have about 100 light bulbs though - all on dimmers!

Love crystal too - I'm sure it looks amazing. :)

We actually had a few projects which we used two large chandeliers over a kitchen island, and it came out really beautiful.

Another option is a long multi pendant chandelier over the kitchen island. it spreads the light over the whole island and make a statement in the kitchen.
