I'm not a lighting expert, but I think you would need a fixture that either has light that goes both up and down....or get the maximum wattage that you can get! Below are some examples. This fixture has 6 bulbs that can be 100 watts each....that's 600 watts total.....a lot of light!!!! And the price is nice! I have bathroom fixtures from this brand (Minka Lavery) and they are very NICE quality!!!! http://www.lampsplus.com/products/hayvenhurst-6-light-34-inch-wide-island-chandelier__2d806.html Here are some fixtures that reflect both up and down. http://www.rejuvenation.com/catalog/products/cascade-up-down-chandelier http://www.lampsplus.com/products/sonnemann-metro-black-33-and-one-half-inch-wide-modern-pendant-light__u9029.html And finally, here is a 6 bulb fixture with 100W bulb each socket, but it was more directional....didn't reflect light off the ceiling..and I think it might create shadows. But here it is anyway: Be sure to click on 6 lights to see that exact fixture: http://www.rejuvenation.com/catalog/products/marquam-hill The photo below is the first one I mentioned.....600W Total Light. Also....what is the size of your room? This post was edited by kompy on Wed, Dec 10, 14 at 8:21

What is the size of the table in your breakfast area? I love that are are bringing in the Gold/Brass color to the other light. I think they will help tie everything together with your cabinet hardware. Here are a few light fixtures that I think goes well with your pendent as well.

I will add to my dilemma: I have beautiful Cherry Doors, one of which is very near to the kitchen. I am one of the minority who really likes the warm reddish gold even slightly orange stain color on wood. Since the Bella Cera Messina Colored Acacia Flooring won't be 'in' the kitchen but visible when outside looking 'towards' the kitchen, I am taking that into account. I usually do not prefer dark stain but in order to avoid the mismatched stain look, I believe I will have to go with one of the darker pigments in the Bella Cera flooring for the Clear Alder cabinets to create a contrast. I searching for the perfect common room paint color in the SW line to tie it all together. Would really appreciate feedback, suggestions, and comments, although my pride is slightly bruised already.

I'll vote for several recessed lights in the areas that need to be illuminated.. You already have plenty of things hanging from the ceiling.
