Would you be able to post a picture of the individual pendant you like? The pinterest link goes to a whole board and there are so many different styles there :) Personally I do think this goes with the geometric open framework type pendant in a lot of the pictures. It repeats the openness and the arms are squared instead of round so that is also cohesive. But I understand that it isn't quite what you were envisioning!

I like this for your kitchen. Has cage style but bulb is not exposed which can be bothersome in a kitchen. Can’t beat price. I would need to have measurements of ceiling height? How high is island countertop? Are pendants for island? Photo would really help. I like black in entry and dining room but kitchen you can go brushed or chrome.

Thanks megs1030. Right now, I'm planning a stainless kitchen faucet and cabinet hardware is my next decision. With the toffee maple wood cabinets, I'm pondering a darker handle, perhaps oil rubbed bronze. I have other dark wrought iron decor items that will be in the adjoining rooms. I have a few lower drawer packs (2 36", 2 30") which I plan to use larger single pulls. From what I've read, I should max out at 3 different metals (stainless, oil rubbed bronze cabinet pulls and brushed gold chandelier). For island, I like this pendant but am not sure which metal color I should go with (gold or stainless) - or if the style is all wrong. I don't necessarily like things to "match" - just be complementary.

I would definitely do a drum lighting with your contemporary/rustic aesthetics. here are my choices lamps plus Living Room Textile™ Classic 24"W Nickel Gray Drum Pendant Light Windward Passage 26 1/2" Wide Brass and Natural Rope 6-Light Pendant Entry Maxim Savant 31" Wide Antique Bronze 8-Light Pendant Light
