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.

Pendants above large island

7 years ago

We are building a new home and I need to select pendants for above the island. It is 96" wide. I am leaning towards two (because that is what the contractor already wired), and hoping for some suggestions as to how large and style? My kitchen opens to a two-story great room, bar area, dining, etc. It's all pretty much a big open space. I have a huge 48" sphere chandelier going in the great room (crystal and chrome). I am going for a modern french country type vibe. Walls are Worldly Grey. Cabinets are white. Island cabinetry is Smokey Blue.
