Rethinking my island pendant lights - help me choose.

15 years ago

I thought I had my pendant lights all picked out, but now I'm having second thoughts. Kitchen is creamy white glazed cabinets, soapstone, quartersawn oak with walnut border. Stainless appliances. Chrome bridge faucet with an apron sink (also soapstone.)

Obviously under construction, I hope you can get the gist of it:

The house is a victorian so I'm looking for something sort of vintage. Originally I'd picked the Parker Place pendant in stainless steel. I'm sorry if this is someone here's kitchen, I stole the pic. ;-)

Now I'm thinking maybe a schoolhouse light. This one comes in a pewter finish (to pick up the appliances) or bronze (to pick up the cabinets.) I'm leaning towards something in the silver family just because they look "lighter" and I'm afraid I'd tire of the bronze. I'd try to find one with a creamy white shade.

What do you think? Or do you think something else besides these would be even better? What finish would you choose?
