Kitchen pendant lights

9 years ago

I had a previous thread about what seems off in my kitchen & received so many good ideas. Link to thread

http://ths.gardenweb.com/discussions/4364951/can-you-tell-me-whats-off?n=71

I am taking it slowly- time & budget makes this a slow process!! I added green plants that I've kept alive for months-- yay! Added lamps made from old balusters- height & I do love the light. Painted the cedar trim the color of the walls to reduce visual clutter. Now, it's lighting.

This new round shade pendant matches the one I have over the dr table that is rectangle. Prefer this one to the one DH made from bolts?

Next up is to replace the galvanized barn lights with these from PB.

Not thebest pics, but hope you can see well enough.

Am I on the right track with these new pendants?

Thanks!

    I really like the PB lights. Much better than the black metal shades I remember you were considering. I can't see the details of the shade pedant but it looks rustic enough to work with the rest. The size looks better than the bolt light. Is it a paper shade?

    I like the PB lights as well. What about replacing those and trying them with the bolt lights? I always thought the "off" was the barn lights and would hate to see your hubby's labor of love get booted if they can work with the new wall lights.

    I prefer the round shade pendant. I like the size and it brightens your kitchen. Love your new sconce choice too!

    I like the pendant your DH made very much.

    And I want to put blue grass cloth on the back of the shelves around the pool table- that goes with blue in rug?!?

    I know.......adding to my list!!

    The pendants look gorgeous in the kitchen. My only concern about your husband's fantastic pendants is that they may be too small for the pool table. I'm probably wrong, just wanted to mention in in case it mattered in the end.

    Lining bookshelves with grasscloth puzzles me a bit. Isn't the point of the grasscloth the texture and the point of the shelves to be filled, hence negating the texture? OTOH if you did not pay much for the bonus of having grasscloth, and all you care about it the color- awesome. I love it when shelves contrast in deep or bright colors.

    I think a small, taller table between the two overstuffed chairs will be lovely with new chairs. Maybe a tea table?

    I think you have a very cohesive space. I love your style very much- it's classic and warm.

    Thanks Rita for your thoughts!! I appreciate your opinion very much.

    I have gotten the new PB sconces up over the windows. Do y'all like them better than the barn lights?

    Im waiting on articulating sconces(same style) to go next to range hood.

    Excuse photo quality-rain, rain, rain here.

    I'm still considering adding fabric to the windows-maybe a soft relaxed mock roman shade- to further soften the look in here.

    Lisa Fine textiles- love the soft organic feel to these fabrics.

    Thoughts?

    Any opinions on new lights? I can still return them.

    And options for window treatments- if any?

    Thanks!

    I think your choices look great! I like the sconces and the pendants! For fabric I like the 2nd best and then the 1st.

    I'm not too sure about the placement of them where the shade hangs over the molding. The middle one looks a bit small over the larger window.

    I would add a shade because I love fabric and patterns. I like both of the first two, but the second one is probably more rustic farmhouse and suits the room better.

    Mayflowers, I'm not sure that I can do anything about the placement. I mean, I could-but it might cause a divorce!!! I'm hoping that the fabric shades will help detract from that.

    Thank you, Aktillery! I really love the 2nd one too. Now, to save my $$ for that fabric.

    Anyone know a source for her fabrics?

    I like the new ones so much better than the first sconces and they coordinate well with your beautiful new pendants! I'm a sucker for birds so that's my fave fabric, but they are all lovely.

    I really like the new lights. Very nice.

    I like all the fabrics but #2 is my favorite. I like birds.
