New lighting, help!

last modified: 9 years ago

So the new porch is about half finished. I ordered the lights and they are on the way. This got me thinking that I should go ahead and change out the kitchen main light, the light over the table and the ceiling fan in the adjoining great room. I am totally drawing a blank on how to make these three fixtures work together, or should I even care if they "go" together. From the kitchen table you can basically see all three fixtures. It is a log cabin so moving locations is not an option at this point. Right now there are three matching ceiling fan/lights in these locations and they are horrible. I will still do a fan/light in the great room but need a hanging fixture over the table and a ceiling mount of some sort in the kitchen.

Here is the floor plan, green circles show light locations.

This is the existing fan light in all three places(who puts a ceiling fan in the kitchen or over the dining table?!!).

Not my furniture in any of these pics.

I posted a while back about the light over the eating area but it didn't occur that I would be doing all three and how to work that out.

We do like a slightly arts and crafts look, or lodge or rustic. Black or antique bronze maybe?

This is the light style I did on the entry porch, a hanging and 3 wall lights.

In the kitchen cooking area this is the main light, there are under cabinet lights, but this is the only spot for a ceiling fixture.

Something like this? It takes 3 100 watt bulbs so should be bright.

Or this takes 5 60watt bulbs.

Ahhhh, I'm so confused how to make this work.

I think I should figure out the ceiling mount fixture first as that is the hardest one to find something bright enough in a limited style selection, then the table fixture should be easy to find something that complements that one. The ceiling fan will probably end up pretty neutral.
