And for any who saw that I deleted my post for the two pictures? Yes. because just because solid feels bulkier to me :........maybe it doesn't to the OP. They both FIT. it's the feel: ) The Target LAMP shade test is still a good way to test before you buy, unless an easy return on the actual pendant. I agree - blowing balloons for a test should be outlawed. What a PITA!!!! LOL

Loveee that. If you have all that detail on the ceiling I think two will be better. I wouldn’t center them on the island I’d do one on each side. I know it sounds weird. I’ve seen it in real. It’s magnificent

Lynn the handle length is good..but the handles themself are horrible…you will get caught on those ends more than you can imagine…they should replace the doors or pay for new hardware for you that fits those holes that you love and credit you for the hardware you already bought. So sorry this was a big mistake on their part.

What I don’t like about your original pendants is that the bulbs are exposed due to the clear glass on the bottom. My eyes cannot handle looking at the bulbs, even with the edison style bulbs. Plus the glass will need cleaning far too often. I am glad you removed those. I think I would explore pendants that have a black and gold combination. i did this mockup by grabbing the first pendant I happened to see after doing an image search for “black and gold pendants”. There are so many styles you can choose from! Also, please excuse my not to scale mockup. I am just awful at making the pendants look the correct scale to the island!
