My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Pendant lighting for a C shape kitchen island

7 years ago
last modified: 7 years ago

Our current pendants are amber glass teardrop pendants. We like them, but we've had them for 6 years. I'm wondering if they are outdated and too small? We're replacing the chandelier over the nearby kitchen table so this is a good time to consider replacing these pendants.

10 foot ceilings. Seating for six at the island. I think I'd prefer to keep the brushed buckle to match the faucet.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

    Those pendants suit the space so well, in size and color. If you want a change, you will not be able to go for a much bigger look in light of the shape of the island, I think.
