Wow? You're right... I guess there really aren't any rules! Thank you so much!

Amber, what is the style of your kitchen? Not that it matters, because yes, you can mix styles. But if you have some photos, maybe we could give you further ideas. My previous home was Craftsman, and I used very similar pendants over my island (got the shades from an online antique lighting shop), LOVED them!

They are all beautiful and yes I think the pendants go with the kitchen fixture. Not sure if the kitchen and DR fixture are too similar in shape and style? Can you see the DR fixture from the kitchen table and vice versa?

@ kmkane - The house is currently under construction, so unfortunately, the photos would only be of recently hung drywall. The kitchen has been ordered and it is an off-white with antique glaze, which appears in the door details. The doors are simple - almost mission style, but with a slight bevel. The home is definitely transitional, and I have a lot of antique furniture.

@ Rebecca Mitchell Interiors & Boutique, The large Currey fixture will hang in the great room, which is adjacent to the kitchen. That room has a 22' ceiling, and you can see both fixtures when standing in the kitchen. There is a very large archway between the two rooms... I choose this chandelier (the Currey 50") because I liked how light and airy it was. I was hoping to find a light without a lot of weight, and I love this style. I didn't like many of the larger lights I saw. I wanted something with a bit of bling, but not a crystal chandelier with a lot going on. I want this room to be a bit formal, but also comfortable and inviting. On another note, I'm now also struggling to find sconces for the wall in that room! Suggestions welcome! : )

@ Rebecca Mitchell Interiors & Boutique -- do you think I should try another light in the great room? I'm open to suggestion... although, I may lose the 30% I paid when I ordered it! : (
It won't be in for another 6 weeks or so... It would need to be larger than 48" in height, due to the height of the ceiling in the room. The dimensions are 17' x 17'. Thanks again!
