pendant lights yeah or no way
Comments (19)Oh my I see this has been rejuvenated! I ended up with another thread because I kept finding potential lights. It's funny because the one luckytiff liked, I did like but no one else seemed to think it belonged... I ended up ordering this one about a month ago and of course, it is out of stock everywhere, but will be shipped in mid april which is now not so far away. As for the height, they will be over the island only, and I plan to hang them on the high side.(if I remember correctly, they should typically be between 30-40" from the countertop. mine will be that but towards the higher spectrum)...See MoreHelp!

Comments (1)I am somewhat hesitant to say "no it won't work" because I've been there myself and made it work, but is it optimal? No, it would be better, because you have no other brass in the room, to go with a silvery finish. But, do you have nay other accent colors in your metals? My stove knobs are both silver and gold, and my lighting is also both siver and gold, so in my kitchen, I could go silver and gold easily. I'm wondering, is the fixture you love available in dual tone, with perhaps just small silver accents? That would be PERFECT! Then there's the custom lighting I did in my entry and library...all in shiny chrome (art deco style). Well then we made the mistake of redo'ing our horrible oak wall. I love the new wall, but the accent work on it is done in....you guessed it, gold :o( So, given the opportunity, I'd have liked the lighting to be gold as well, but because it's a library/living room, I'm able to bring the metal tones into my decorating through useof accent lamps and other decorative pieces. I don't know how well you can do that in either a kitchen or dining room. Have you looked around? Do you have anything with both tones? I'm totally with you on going with the amber shades. My autumn cherry cabinets look fabulous with the amber glass and my amber light globes. So I guess my one suggested way to make this work...is to somehow add that touch of silver into the lighting. Is that possible? This is my lighting...I have stainless appliances and pewter knobs, but I also do have the silver and gold knobs on my stove, and this lighting was also in both tones (Move in pic so forgive the mess):...See More1 Pendant Light or 3 Pendant Lights from Ceiling
Comments (18)For the uplight, you could go a few routes, especially with respect to dimming functionality. And some fixtures don't support dimming, so you need to figure that out. To that end, I suggest you think through the use cases. For example, the use case that I think I'd appreciate most is late evening, after you've retired to another room of the house, at which time a mellow indirect glow from the skylight cutout would be particularly pleasant. You might also want the more light from this source on occasion, in which case you'd want brighter lights on a dimmer. That being said, here's some options. I'm thinking two, centered on the skylights, mounted near the bottom rim of the cutout (just above the beam probably). Regarding the pendant, I know that selecting pendants is hard enough without more to think about, but one downside of a single pendant vs multiple pendants is thhat single sources create worse shadows. And the clear glass pendants above exacerbate this harsh shadow problem by being point sources, whereas the Fillsta, for example, mitigates this problem because it's effectively a uniform 31" sphere of light. This large diffuser also makes it possible to use a brighter source. For example, you could put a 300W equivalent CFL in the Fillsta, but such a bright light would be unacceptably harsh in a point source like the clear glass pendants above....See MoreHelp me pick Pendant Lights for my Kitchen!
Comments (12)@RL Relocation LLC thank you. There is a fixture already installed above the sink to provide the entire kitchen with lighting. No bulb installed yet though. Wiring for the lighting above the peninsula is easy. The wires currently run in a layer between the exposed rafters and the external roofing. Hence a source for each pendant light drops down either from the rafter or drilled through the beam I am only looking for suggestions of pendant lights for above the peninsula that will fit the design of the kitchen...See MoreFlo Mangan
