    Oh the previous they are perfect for your kitchen...looks like the wood accent will be very complementary to your wood beams...love the other shape much better.

    The other long lantern shape is just to colonial in style...

  • 8 years ago

    Which one is too colonial to you HIWE???

    Percell, the other lantern style is Mission 16" as your husband didn't like seeing the lights as I recall?

    the other lantern with glass around the light portion (right)


    another lantern not previously shown.

    Just a few previously shown like the copper patina, bottom photo is Hinkley 14" Amelia

    Found this picture that is so similiar to ours with the beams, brushed nickel hardware and white cabinets- I really like this simple look- thinking of getting this in this vintage gold finish -the size I think is right is the 16”e x 24”h ( the 16”” width is at the upper most wide part the lowest point is about 12.5” wide. They have a larger #9” but I think that would be too much. Our island is 90”l x 54”w and the ceiling is10ft. Your thoughts before I order? And agin you all have been such phenomenal help! Including pic from Houzz and one of our kitchen

    These are ones I am considering

    I've have always loved this style of light. We use a lot of the Darlana by visual comforts. They work well with most any other light!

  • 8 years ago

    Great choice for style. Size is good. Like it is open and no glass. The actual down light from this style will be much less than other styles--your bulbs shine up and out but nothing directs the light down---just so you know, not sure how much task lighting you need. Brass is so popular right now and I think mixing in and adding some accessories in same will bring a nice sparkle. Have fun finishing up your selections!

    I believe that's the Kenwood.... looks very close to the Darlana by Visual Comforts

  • 8 years ago

    p.s. Fabulous price! Yes, order them up!

  • 8 years ago

    Darlana


    Kenwood about half the price.....

    I think it would be lovely and on a dimmer great as you have cans in the ceiling. They do put off a lot of light!

  • 8 years ago

    Hooray! Will be awesome to get them hung--- can't wait to see them! Nice choice pursell!

    Very pretty lanterns. I'm trying to find pendant lighting myself! I love your backsplash and how you did a different pattern over your stove! Can you please tell me both kinds of tile you used??? thanks so much!

  • 8 years ago

    Dina- that tile info is on a Sunday post if you scroll through this thread.

  • 8 years ago

    Thanks so much. I just finished scrolling through the long thread and realized that information was given!

  • 8 years ago
    I really love my pendants! they are lanterns and inexpensive!
  • 8 years ago

    I checked the tile bar website and believe the information posted is only for the Marrakesh printed tile behind the stove. Can you let me know what tile you used for the rest of the backsplash? Thanks!

  • 8 years ago
    I will check with my tile provider and get back to you
  • 8 years ago
    Dina, I haven’t forgotten you, I asked the design store to get me the info so hopefully I will get it soon!
  • 8 years ago

    Houzzers- you've done a great job here coming up with lighting. If you get a minute could you pop in and help this OP with her lighting as I think getting others involved will be helpful to her. Sorry to high jack this post.

    Hey all, well we are in the home stretch -one last question. I was going to get the pendants hung where the bottom of the pendant is 36” from counter top -is that right? The kitchen has a 10ft ceiling. Thx

    Mine are at 43” I have 10’ ceilings in a open concept so gives off great light without blocking anything...but 36” is just fine all depends on how open you want it...my husband is 6’3” so really did not want to look into a light fixture when in the kitchen looking into Family Room.....so they are just above his sight line.

    HIWE- that’s beautiful- actually, I had talked with electrician a bout distance between fixtures and he got that perfect but i failed to talk about height and I show back up and this is what he had done. They will be lowered - I don’t want them in the way but this is ridiculous
  • 8 years ago

    Glad you have the chain to lower--so typical if EXACT specifications not given :)

    My island chandelier is 35 1/2" above countertop. Nice fixture--will look great lowered!

  • 8 years ago

    1st time for the electrician hanging or even seeing pendant lighting hung.? Better tell him about houzz so he can browse through photos and see that is not the height nor even close to being right. Unless you are perhaps 7' tall? This is a good example as to why now a days you have to follow the "professionals' around to make sure they are doing their job right. And we pay them how much to do it wrong and then pay them again to make it right???

    Kitchen is looking great. I bet you can't wait to start using it :)

  • 8 years ago

    Lights are BEEEAUTIFUL..... wow, odd person who did hang them though :( Thank goodness you have the chain. Going to look GREAT!

  • 8 years ago
    Again, I appreciate all of your help! Will post when height gets corrected-and yes very grateful there is plenty of chain
  • 8 years ago
    Got the pendants lowered! Very happy! Thanks again for all your help, I truly appreciate it! Hopefully moving in in a couple of weeks .

    Porter Edu ,

    Reading this thread and your contributions are invaluable! With an 8 x 4 ft island and 10' ceiling,you suggest around 15" wide pendants. Would it be possible to use three of those?
  • 8 years ago
    Sorry, I meant Porter Edun.
  • 8 years ago
    You don't have enough lights in the ceiling. I see none over the kitchen. You need lighting to wash all the counter areas and a pair of fixtures hanging over the island (I suggest wood lanterns with downlights). Whoever planned the kitchen lighting failed in their mission. You may end up with a big change-order ticket to pay or inefficient under-cabinet lighting.

    Queen1951,

    Thank you.... I think 3 would make them way too close together. I love the look of two and especially in this kitchen.... to larger vs. three smaller.

  • 8 years ago
    There are six can lights in the kitchen and plenty of light when they are on! I am waiting for the bar stools to arrive to post an update hopefully by the end of this month. Again, I so appreciate everyone’s contribution and suggestions. The two pendants are perfect!
  • 7 years ago
    Well, the barstools finally arrived -so happy with everything! Thanks to all of you for all your help along the way!

    BEAUTIFUL!!!! Nice work and ENJOY!!!
