Ok; I’ve gotten some feedback on island pendants; I’ve narrowed it down to three.

Two pendants over quartzite island.
Ceiling will be painted white
Appliances are stainless
Hardware hasn’t been selected

Thank you!

    Ooh, nice choices. Depends on the vibe you want. To me the round globe on a chain (first pendant) suggests a sort of "Madmen" vibe. (It appears as a half globe until I click on the image and then it's a whole globe). The black and white Dawn pendant (second photo) looks classically modern in a schoolhouse way. The square lantern pendant (third photo) looks traditionally classic, a contemporary take on Antique. Honestly, I like them all with your ceiling treatment, the variation in color of the white main cabinets and black island cabinetry, the overall white of the kitchen, and the crown. Leaning toward #1 or #2 which seem to project the most personality. Beautiful kitchen. Let us know what you decide.

    I chose Gold/Brass just because it is so trendy now, I actually liked #3 better but they seem a bit large for that island.

    Groveraxle, you're the best. Leaning even more toward the globes now. :-)

    Square pendants can really be a pain to get perfectly square to each other...round is so much easier!

    I like grover's first pendant, but I like it in the black/silver color that's in pic 2. Maybe a silver chain with top of the globe done in black w/the nickel trim. something like that.

    Unless you're doing gold hardware in the kitchen. then the gold one is fine.

    I chose the 3rd pendant -- I think it's a natural fit with your ceiling. Lovely remodel! Post a finished photo when it's completed!

    Thank you for the input and mock ups! I am leaning toward the globes as well, with a silver chain. I will post a photo when the project is complete.

    We voted for the the second one! Add some dark cabinet hardware against the white and it will pull it all together. Good luck!

    I like the globes with silver. I prefer simplicity. I think the third option would be a PITA to keep clean.

    I am also thinking of white washing/pickling the ceiling instead of painting white.

    If you get a fixture with an upward arc (i.e. opens at the top), it will catch all the dust, particulates, and dead bugs you never knew were there,and will be hard to clean. I can't tell from the image whether the third pendants are open at the top and bottom, or just at the top. I prefer the look of option #2, but I thought I'd mention this "gem" I discovered over the years.
