I was asking recently about a hood and small pendants (older thread). My solution involves the symmetry of two small pendants working with the hood. I like high-hats for their unobtrusive lighting, but my personal taste is to have something decorative providing some light and some style at the same time. I say yes, do a pendant. It's hard to visualize your space, but from the description I'm thinking a long bar light over the peninsula, and the hood over the island.

Started to post yesterday but wanted to think on it a bit… firstly, your granite is Stunning with a capital S and is a beautiful choice for Craftsman style! It looks almost like an oil painting, and the few vertical striations make it so interesting and move your eyes around the whole surface. Thank you! It's even more gorgeous in person. I just want to hug it every time I see it. Secondly, I like that you are also installing pendant lighting at the two windows as well as the island, and I do think those should be the same. I keep going back and forth about that. My thinking is the island lights are in the middle of the kitchen and might be better off as more prominent? My initial and immediate gut instinct was to say go with the first fixture, but I kept going back to look at the second from the Old California Lantern Co, which is why I hesitated in posting yesterday. I think I’m going to be the voice of dissent and go with the Old California fixture over your table. Now you know my dilemma! LOL Do you feel the Old California goes with the pendants? For 10 ft. ceilings, I’d choose the larger 12” pendants to accentuate that lovely ceiling height. Smaller pendants would seem undersized IMO and experience. I'm thinking of doing the larger pendants over the island and the 9" pendants over the two windows. Perhaps it’s just my own preference for vintage and uniqueness, and I think the Old California Lantern Co chandelier is more interesting… so: I find comments others make help me decide my own mind… here are just a few: Do you feel it’s important the fixture over your table match identically or closely with the pendant lighting? I can see that the Old California chandelier has a patina and the metal coloring is different than your pendant choices – again, does this affect your decision? The picture is just what's on their website. I can get a finish that is almost exactly the same with the same glass. Because your granite is clearly the stand-out, do you want a fixture that will hold its own with the countertop, or do you feel the Old California might compete while the Huntington might compliment the granite and your style of Craftsman? I'm confused. I like them both. I do love the Old California but don't want it to compete either. I have a lot going on in the kitchen so I'm thinking the Arroyo Craftsman one may sit back a bit more with everything else going on. In the dining room niche I have a beautiful buffet and I'm planning on an subtle wallpaper just for that wall. In the kitchen where the glass is in the backsplash, that will have a stained glass piece. Subtle, but still another element.

I prefer the look of 2 larger pendant vs 3 smaller ones as well. With an island your size I would go with the 20 x 18 ones.
