I love the look of the glass pendants, but when I went to the store all of the pendants were dusty or the glass was cloudy. Which made me think of how often I would have to wash these pendants since we do a fair amount of cooking. I did find another pendant, which is not see through but does incorporate the chrome look. Once they are in I will need to figure out if they will all be at the same height or if the middle one will be higher. Thanks to all and I will send pictures once they are in.

Yes, no one can look at both and take the time to be picky about it lol. You will be the ones who notice things more than anyone. And after the dust settles most of the time you wont even think about it anymore. Side note I dont think you need contrast on your cabinet pulls, a brushed brass would be really pretty with bronze..just a thought.

You have good lighting now so I would be picky on this. that being said I would just remove that dome light in favor of another can. and yes they are everywhere. seems something was done out of order or after something else was changed. Can you post a picture looking at the length of the island or toward the window.

IMO there's a lot visually going on in a small space. Have you considered simply changing the wattage of the bulbs in your ceiling downlights? To me that is the least espensive, easiest solution to gain more lighting. Select a PAR LED bulb for your downlights.
