The light is odd but works for some reason. The backsplash bugs me way more. I say change that first then reevaluate the light.

yeah, not getting farmhouse vibe whatsoever.

backsplash, hardware, lighting,,,

Why don't you just get recessed lighting done since that goes w/everything? once and done and you'll never have to worry about it again.

get the Retrofit canned LED lights at Costco. they're cheap and work great. all you need are 4-6 Six inch cans for that kitchen space

6-pack is $45

you'll have to get the metal housing for it, but those aren't expensive either.

otherwise, what about this

The light fixture may be too large for my kitchen, but otherwise I would be delighted to take it off your hands. I do see why it may not be compatible with your design goal.

I see two canopies, so it's two lights, not one. And the junction boxes are located only a foot apart, which is going to make swapping them out for something usable difficult without electrical work to add or move junction boxes.

I'm in the camp with those finding the lights unobjectionable, but the backsplash distinctly non-farmhouse.

Great feedback. I’ll start with the backsplash. Can lights would be the best way to go. I’ll add that to my Xmas list!

Lis, check out Tilebar for some tiles. you can get 5 samples for $5, and they have some really cool designs.

Home Depot has some too, but look at them online as well as in the store. they have more choices online.

ultimately there is a reason they had to put the two J boxes next each other and go with rail. not sure if it was because of limited access or they just didnt want to go through with it.

One option would be to reduce to one track and just straighten it out so it runs with the room, the power supply can go anywhere on these so that would be an easy fix

This is a "cheaper version of rail maybe from lowes, or something to that effect, they may produce other fixture heads that could be swapped.

You will have holes from the support brackets, so no matter what you will be in a patch and paint situation so you might as well call an electrician and see if you can add more lights.

Back again trying to change the backsplash. Any ideas what works? My family of boys like the grey stone ledger. But I’m not sure that’s kitchen appropriate. I’m trying to get away from modern without having to pull the hideous ikea cabinets. Or dated black granite.

I also removed the black handles. Way too severe. I’m limited in options because of the odd handle space, but I’ll
Stick with silver, I suppose.

If you google “farmhouse kitchen” and look at images, every single one has white subway tile. So I’d go with that. Also commonalities were reclaimed wood floating shelves if you have any room for them and a vintage runner in front of your sink. Good luck!

forget the rough cut slate panels. those are impossible to keep clean in there.

also forgo the linear glass bars. once installed, you'll be back to what you already have and are trying to move away from. Plus, they're 'over'.

Also forget the white glass. once installed they take on a very cool, minty green hue. will not work in your kitchen.

if they like the gray, then find a lighter gray 2x8, 3x9, 2x10 tile w/no blue in it. see your glass gray tile? the smaller one? too blue.

I'm going to give you a ton of better suggestions than those bar glass tiles and slate panels.

This is Silver from Encore Ceramics. (they aren't super cheap, so I don't know what you want to spend) they are about $40 a sq ft

Cloe Tile is all the rage. (Wayfair, Bedrosians, HomeDepot, Lowes, carry it online)

I like this one in the gray (white is on backorder) in the stacked layout. has more of a modern look

Home Depot has this Abolos. a glossy, gray 3x12 w/some sheen

DiscountGlassTileStore carries a whole slew of glass/ceramic in the gray tones. this gray is the perfect shade for your granite. see how there is no blue? it's a warm gray. you want that or a silver gray. look over at their site and see what you like. (please, no linear glass bar selections!)

This one is really nice too. Smoke

https://discountglasstilestore.com/avenue-wall-series/

They also have this porcelain brick in a black or white

https://discountglasstilestore.com/art-studio-brick-series/

they also have a larger picket style you could do. look under Art Picket

Or the Kite collection

take a look over at all their tiles and see what else you like

This is a limestone tile. I really like this layout for your kitchen. do the stack instead of the off-set

Lastly, look over here. you get 5 samples for $5. these are all of the gray tiles suitable for backsplash

Look at the Nabi GunMetal. (lower right)

This Easton Ridge silver is kind of cool too

Diesel Camp canvas White,

elongated hex:

one last suggestion. replace your bulbs with 4000K. it will take the yellow out of the white cabinets.

You’re awesome. Thank you. The bulbs are killing it for sure.

Lis, let me know if and when you get the tilebar samples! I must have 40 of them. I'd love to see if any of them work out w/your countertop.

I had forgotten you had the dilemma w/those lights. did you even get a new fixture?

Oh, the Diesel Camp tile? I guess Home Depot carries that line too. It's under Ivy Hill Piston Camp White Rock.

and that Birmingham one? they carry it in this color too. (Wayfair has this one)

Do you like these? Tilebar has them under Portmore-Gray.

But Wayfair also carries them (comes in a nice black too)

the picture isn't really all that great, so you'd have to see if the gray tone works w/your stone.

and of course the whiter bulbs will really make a diff.
