How big is the table? That would help selecting a style/scale you can tie in with your pendant lighting.

it 40" wide by 68" long

Looking at the photo of what you can see in the room and the pendants you want something similar to the Lowe's light? It seems dressy yet there is nothing wrong with that. Do you want to lean that way vs. a brushed nickel orb light or....

I'm completely open at the moment. I would take pics of the entire place but it's currently all in demo right now. I just want the look to meld together since the dining is so close to the kitchen. My concern with the Lowes light is that it might be too formal/modern as well and that is why i haven't pulled the trigger.

Something like this?

Here is is hanging from a ceiling albeit not a dining area yet you can better see it.

would you do one or two?

I was hoping that the pendants metal might be a bit darker but in person , hey are a pretty true brushed nickel. That last one is too industrial for our look I think.

I do love the concept of the framed light no glass however this may have glass I can't see. I think the shape is ok, not great what matters is if you like it. Let me sent you some similar so you can see.

doesn't come in any shade of silver unfortunately! The light above is nice I do like it however the shape for what ever reason bothers me?? As I said if you like it that is what matters. In smaller homes/spaces I think lights that are see through are probably best or the narrow Home Depot light so it doesn't block the eye when looking from room to room. So, it would work and not be obtrusive at all. I would just steer from the chandelier shot of the very first more fancy one given what I see.

A couple other suggestions:

Both are great if you can get them with some silver tone vs. gold unless you have the burnished golden drawer pulls and such that are popular right now. I see it clashing with your pendants... they are very nice, do they have options for other metal tones in lieu of gold?

check out, allmodern.com they have silver tone with dark if you like this route they do have some kfulls.

google wine barrel chandelier they are usually larger in scale yet you will see many that are not in different shapes such as this. I like it!! Orb is not modern though especially if you go with iron or dark bronze. Just weigh how heavy it is for the space if wood orb or slim iron orb. Neither are modern unless (which they do) have crystals in them and so on) sooooo.

That pendant at 12" in dia & 16" tall might be too large for over the island with an 8' ceiling. This means the glass globe is taller than the hanging chain.

Beverly, she's talking now about her table for dining I believe it's a bar height table and 8 ft. ceilings yet on that right now I may be wrong as it's a long day. She has pendants up from what I understand? The table is 68 long by 40 wide as I recall may be off a tad? Hope you can help!

Porter, she has purchased the glass globes. It doesn't say she has installed them. If they won't work, there's no sense purchasing more items that don't work together.

The decision about how large the pendants over an island should be takes into consideration the ceiling height, the size of the island, the size of the pendants & the backdrop behind the pendants. You haven't shown us that. But it you expect this look in your kitchen, it's not going to work.

Hanging a pendant that large from an 8ft. ceiling height over an island is going to be tricky. But it you expect the final product to look like this it won't because this ceiling is much taller.

You have to post an image with the ceiling, not so much the floor

Kfulls, I didn't see where you posted the dimensions of the lights??? Perhaps they were searched at the store you purchased them :(

Thank you Beverly, I didn't go to the site where purchased just saw it and hence you already made me privy! Thanks for sending it.

You don't think smaller scale glass pendants would be fine? I do apologize I never knew the size of them and thought you were on the mark with them not realizing myself they were so large as I didn't notice where you purchased them so didn't do a search to look in to them.

Well, Many options then if you don't go this route with any pendants.

Understand that and nice to know you can add later if you like. I have a program yet since I work for a builder and do their models I don't use one yet have one and am not perfect at using it such as Beverly is so I don't as I don't want to error for those here! Good luck to you! Many small scale simple glass pendants such as you chose if the work in the long run!
