I was going to suggest using the same fixture in the DR

CB2

Those are great lights. Thanks for the ideas. We only have the one big light fixture over the island because of the way it faces (it is narrow looking into the living room instead of wide which we would have done to accommodate two island lights.

can we see the table?

Here’s the table area. We will be replacing the table with the pottery barn West Dining table with black chairs.

Another angle shot.

I would do a simple black 4-5 light fixture, no shades, the drum over the island is rather large so keeping the volume the same but keep it open so it doesnt become "blocky"

In all honesty have you thought to just put a small cafe table there? seems to me you would use the bar area more than you use this little nook area? So strange to me when they put a door in a seating area like that, especially when it swings into the table. that's a very chunky table you plant to put in there. Might also be a good idea to see the table in place first for scaling.

You just dont want to walk in that door and be smacked in the face by a light fixture.

Thanks for all the great ideas! The nook is 12 wide 8 depth to the window. The table from PB is the same size as the current one. We need a table to accommodate family/friends over.

I wonder if having a bench seat rather than chairs on the door side or doing a built in bench with a round table under the windows?
