Oh. They are really cool!! My first instinct is the 3- 7" and 1-13" cause it adds drama. But if they are too close to each other, you should do all 7".

My kitchen would be too small to pull it off. It's 13'x12'

Thanks Celineike! I like them too.

The island is across from the sink. I found some photos I took when we went back into the house for the inspections. Excuse the mess, the PO were getting ready to pack up and move! We're doing some remodeling in the kitchen - new counters, new drawers/cabinet doors. We have also added wall cabinets on the window wall, so you'll have to picture cabinets on either side of the sink.

Those are great looking fixtures!

I like the 3 - 7" over the island and the larger one over the sink. They are not too close together and will give you great lighting over both areas. Make sure to add dimmers so that you can set the scene for all occasions!

Here is a link that might be useful: kitchen lighting ideas

These are entirely closed lights so there won't be light escaping anywhere but at bottom. How much wattage do the lights offer? I think you will need at least 75 Watt (incandescent) over sink and also in vicinity of range. The sink and range are offset, right? Will they look okay from a distance or do you need the sink one to be less distinctive? If not, I'd choose the larger one for the sink ... or an entirely different one that stands out against the blinds, perhaps in shiny metal or something in stainless or a warm brown that coordinates with that next room's decor. If you were to make the choice to use something different at sink, I'd use 3 matching ones over island.

We have 3 matching pendants in one area--but we put in a sep switch for the two on outside and a separate one for the singleton at sink. Not sure if this is wise or not, but it does give me more flexibility because I can dim them up or down; I use the doubles more than the single or the full set because that's over two work areas, one is for baking and one is over dishwasher. Proviso: I reserve the right to find a new oddball light for the sink. Besides these triplets we have 2 more on peninsula so we have a total of 5 same-size smaller pendants in all so losing one at center won't bother me.

O.T.
Like the blinds! My favorite part of the room! If you made them I'm especially impressed.

Snotty comment here: hope you enjoy dusting. That black would be always dusty in my kitchen. But...it's very distinctive and it gives you some dark notes against the whites.

This is the kitchen of the previous owners. So I can't take the credit for the blind - in fact, they took it with them. The granite is being replaced by something much lighter and simple - like giallo ornamental.

The island lights and sink light are actually on one switch, the perimeter can lights are on another switch. Both are dimmers and the lights can take up to a 100 watt incandescent bulb.

I hadn't thought about the fact there is a glass bottom and the light will be more direct. I guess that makes me feel better about having the three cans.

I just couldn't decide about the sink light because it seems so large - 13" diameter, plus it cost an extra $150...

Maybe I'll go ahead and do the three 7" and 1 13" and I can always exchange it.

Thanks!
