I'm mixing chrome hardware for my brass fixtures. My island ones will likely be the second one in your pic. If I were you, I'd do all hardware the same. Otherwise, it might look to disjointed.

for your space, from these options I would do the brass with frosty white shade...one over table and one over peninsula. use different wattage/dimmers in bulbs to create different effect...The two will be positioned in a visual line with each other, so use of same fixture or nearly identical ones would be my choice. I think with the frost white shade there may be something else quite similar if you want a little change.....but I would want them to resemble each other. I'm not caring for the warehouse pendant....the pendant with the exposed bulb is okay....but the frost shade is really nice, fairly upscale, blends in, has some style..not too much...gives a good vibe.The other way I could go with your space is a bit of a glam effect over the table with a chandelier....all the light reflectiveness would give a prettiness and focus...play up your nice corner there...then just stick with recessed cans over the peninsula.

Lily'smom, I think I like your style! And I certainly love your attitude! I hope you'll post lots of photos of the finished product. I admit I do have a tendency to mix like crazy-when I got married, we mixed the settings across patterns in our wedding china, and the poor woman at Bloomingdales looked at me like I was some sort of heathen. Thanks all for your opinions- I think I do need to try to unify somehow, I love the eclectic look, but I don't want it to seem like I just arbitrarily chose things in the kitchen. I'm trying to find a simple light fixture that has some brass and some ORB in it, and like the idea of using a similar style throughout. The problem is that I feel like many of the bronze fixtures are a bit heavy, and the kitchen is not big, by any stretch of the imagination.

The most important thing of course, is that the space be comfortable, homey and churn out wonderful meals and good times with friends and family. Hopefully, without offending anyone's matching sensibilities :)

Oh there is a very pretty brass fixture with orb or chrome mixed. Let me find it! I wanted it but it's too big for my island!

The other one I was thinking of is saved on my laptop. But here's two others I found. Not orb but still so pretty

Found it!

I have been looking at pendants lately for a brass and stainless kitchen and all my favorites are shown! Good taste lol! I am probably going with the Hudson Pelham , btw.

Also look at Rebecca Zaveloff kitchens. She does lots of mixed metals and finishes. Love all of them.

Oooh, smm5525, I love that last orb one! I saved those first two also, but had thought they might be too heavy for the space. Where is that one from? I like the second one a lot, I took a look at it in my local lighting store, where I just happen to have gift card!

Oh man, those Rebecca Zaveloff kitchen are to DIE for, I probably shouldn't have looked! It does sort of remind me that if I had a million dollars to spend, I could have some REALLY nice stuff :) I actually spent my entire morning not working, but trying to figure out how I could get a French bistro table almost exactly like the one that's near the banquette in the Webster kitchen on that site. I would love a narrow marble topped table with an iron trestle base. Gorgeous.

Yeah I was planning my finishes and then found her site and it's like she read my mind!

Smm5525 do you have a link to the first light fixture you shared? I love it!

Let me find it!
